Magnolia Bliss appeared in 2022 at Juliette Has A Gun. Romano Ricci put the summer of 1969 into it: flower crowns, Polaroid snaps, bare feet in the grass. A magnolia essence, a juicy plum the French page calls greengage, a fresh bergamot, and the ambery, musky base that signs the house.
Five materials and three tiers, which the house sums up in three names: magnolia, plum, bergamot.
Bergamot, magnolia, plum
The bergamot opens, fresh and zesty. The magnolia and the plum occupy the middle, the flower held back by a fruit that is barely gourmand. Ambroxan and musk close the whole thing, the ambery musky base the house gives as its signature.
One plum, two names
The reference list carries mirabelle plum, which the English page of the house and Wikiparfum both keep; the French page writes greengage. The French name stays in prose, and the note set down is mirabelle plum.
What circulates elsewhere
Longer lists add lemon, petitgrain, ginger, nectarine, freesia, peony, vanilla and tonka bean. None of these materials has a tier declared by the house: they stay in prose.
What the label declares
Eighteen entries: denatured alcohol, fragrance, water, three ultraviolet filters, eleven regulated allergens — limonene, linalool, hexyl cinnamal, hydroxycitronellal, citronellol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, citral, coumarin, geraniol, cinnamyl alcohol, eugenol — and one antioxidant. Printemps serves another and shorter one, which carries a styrene copolymer.
