Our view
It all began with a conversation between Frédéric Malle and Carlos Benaïm: the real scent of the magnolia flower is closer to an eau de Cologne than to a classic white flower. Carlos exaggerated its citrus balance and added a woody vibration. The result is a transparent, natural note, enlivened by a dark base of vetiver and patchouli. A fresh, summery, timeless chypre.
