Eau de Fleur de Magnolia
Kenzo (2008)

Eau de Fleur de Magnolia has nothing but personality. It is multifaceted. It is exactly what you think it is, and yet not even close. It is interesting. This perfume unfolds various aspects of her personality depending on her mood, the weather, the time of the day, the rate of her heartbeats. Sometimes strong, sometimes wet, other times clean, simple, naked, and unapologetic.

Eau de Fleur de Magnolia begins with loads of citrus. After settling in and simmering down a bit, the magic of Eau de Fleur de Magnolia begins. The more this fragrance settles down and remains on the skin, the finer it becomes. Sure the citrusy notes remain dominant all the way, but they are so nicely sophisticated floral citrusy notes. It's fresh but sophisticated, floral but not heady or overwhelming, simple but noble. When the magnolia is singing with her ever happy and hi-pitched voice from morning till night, it gets quite tiresome.

This whole citrusy flowery mess dries down to a shampoo/hairspray type of scent and is not very attractive. To me It does smell like a happy and youthful spring. It's a scent of delicate woman. Married loving her husband and a very sensitive...loving warm young, pretty female. Eau de Fleur kind of reminds me of a longer lasting version of Clinique Happy.
