Flowers about flowers or flowers?
Sometimes flowers are the most outstanding and beautiful thing about fragrances, sometimes you can only sense them and sometimes they are totally annoying because it's just too much.
I'm a bit conflicted about Magnolia. I recently bought a collection of various vintage minis very cheaply. You never know what to expect, but most of them are still in good condition.
I knew this one from the old days, when YR fragrances were omnipresent and people liked to treat themselves to a bottle or two, especially as the prices were moderate.
In the 80s, POISON (Dior) or PARIS (YSL) were a direct hit, so the YR fragrances were even more bearable.
I remember that I didn't like it at all back then, I was more into masculine, tart fragrances, but nowadays I like floral scents (perhaps due to my age).
The start is already quite "overloaded", the flowers take your breath away and to be honest, it doesn't get any better for me. I wait in vain for the base notes, perhaps a little vanilla is the closest I get to asserting itself, but that doesn't release you from the scent squadron that swirls around you.
In my opinion, the apple note didn't really make it pretty either, so unfortunately I have to say that I no longer have to have it, but I was glad that I was allowed to test it again.
I used to perceive it in a much more complex way, but I may have become more critical today, at least this fragrance has now lost its appeal for me.
Since it's only a mini anyway, I'll get rid of it at some point (I'm not thinking of mine, who likes such fragrances).
