The scent is indeed warm thanks to the spicy notes, but the feeling is somewhat vague. There's a pleasant sharpness, reminiscent of ginger. I think cinnamon plays the main role here, while anise and cardamom soften it. The almond notes smell very creamy and cozy. The sandalwood is simply excellent - sweet, without dusty or oriental nuances, which I like. Overall, the fragrance is wonderful, but unfortunately, it's not very long-lasting on me

This fragrance came into my life at just the right moment. All the stars aligned: I started appreciating chypres and getting interested in Chanel perfumes. On one website, I noticed many people comparing Magnolia's scent to the character of Chanel fragrances. Autumn is already approaching, and I'm preparing for it internally. Chypre, yes, it's clearly a chypre, but the name can be misleading. I even sense notes of chrysanthemums, herbal bitterness, and a slight fading in it. So it's strange that it's called a summer scent. Maybe it will be a real discovery for those tired of tropical and aquatic smells in the heat. Personally, I see it as a transition to autumn, when days get longer, the sky becomes richer, and the wind is more noticeable

I seem to have problems with scent perception, or this fragrance reminds me too much of TF Tobacco Vanille. I'm not sure I could properly evaluate it under current conditions, but the feeling that it's too similar doesn't leave me 😔

The smell of this lipstick is simply gorgeous, reminds me of Soviet times, wow! I can't agree with those who compare it to Donna, in my opinion, they're completely different things. Lipstick On definitely makes it onto my wishlist, because the bright retro notes gradually fade, and in the end, the fragrance becomes more restrained, modern, and wearable. The composition is simply delightful! 😍

The chypre I read about turned out to be quite curious. It reminds me of what Mugler did with their exclusive series. The patchouli here sounds special, as if it's full of life, with the addition of many herbs and plants. It turns out to be something like a green, meaty chaos )

I have the modern EDT in my collection, but so far I only smell chypre notes. Honey or fruity accents don't appear. I hoped the fragrance would develop over time, but it seems it's more suited for the shelf than for everyday use

The 2014 fragrance is clearly fruitier than the one I've encountered before. I don't know if it's an old version or a new one that has already settled. I'm only talking about the fresh version, without comparisons. It sounds a bit dated, but not in a heavy retro way, rather light and unobtrusive. Fruits and vanilla, a little synthetic with a slight tartness, but it's not irritating. The fragrance is cozy and calm, like a warm sweater. At the same time, it's not too serious. Perhaps over time it will unfold differently, but right now it's exactly like this 🌟
