Acqua di Parma Magnolia Nobile Acqua di Parma for women

Beautiful floral, sweet and delicate. I smell lemon and strawberry! in the beginning, then magnolia and jasmin and finally vanilla and woods but I don't detect any patchouli. One of the best high quality fruity-florals out there

i love this frag very delicate femmenine scent but it does not stay on for a long time plus its not cheap...but overall its very pretty summer time scent

DIVINE. This fragrance has nothing but personality. It is multifaceted, and meant for a woman who is the total package. 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 day, the rate of her heartbeats. Sometimes heady and woody, sometimes wet, languid blooms, other times clean, simple, naked, and unapologetic. Lemon tart at high tea? Yes. A bed drenched in blossoms, bruised, raw, and feisty? Yes. Meeting a lover in the fallen leaves of early October? Most definitely.

First 15 minutes is all about citrus - then it gets airy and soft and nice flowers appear. This is not a loud scent on my skin but its there all around me. After one hour deep roses appear with a nice splash of patchouli with a hint of vanilla. Next person have to stand close to smell this wonderful grownup flowerscent (not sugarsweet as many modern scents). Sober and classy, I think.

Första kvarten är citrustonerna dominanta, sen blir den luftig och mjuk och blomtonerna kommer fram. Detta är ingen högljudd doft men den finns runt mig. Nästa person behöver stå nära för att känna denna vuxna mjukblommiga doft. Efter en timme framträder rosdoften och en aning av patchouli och vanilj. Inga sötsliskiga dofttoner. Sober och klassisk doft, tycker jag.

Very nice, pretty and airy. I find it similar to Coco Mademoiselle but a bit lighter and more fruity.

I think the Acqua di Parma scents are really nice. Even if they are not from my "scents group" at least they are still pleasant. This is again one I wouldn't buy but it's not bothering if others wear it around you either.

Acqua di Parma MAGNOLIA NOBILE opens as a very high-quality fruity floral, with a strong citrus component, which smells mostly like grapefruit to me. Eventually magnolia rears its delicate petals, but the floral aspect of this composition is heavy on roses and quite light on magnolia for most of its life. In fact, according to my nose this might be better named ROSE NOBILE. Well, except that with the fruitiness it doesn't seem all that noble, either. I certainly would not take issue with the quality of the individual notes, but their synthesis has a pretty familiar ring to it here: inoffensive fruity floral.

All in all, MAGNOLIA NOBILE strikes me as a fairly mainstream creation. But I'm confident that it would make regular wearers of fruity-floral fragrances very happy indeed because it smells, well, swell!

Such a pretty perfume!

Don't get me wrong - this mid-weight, translucent fruity-floral perfume isn't striking, unusual or radical. But it is so well made that it is simply a joy to wear.

The start on my skin is a refreshing lemon with a distinct peachy note & a fizzy cedar all blended to perfection. A bright & sunny start without being too sharp or too sweet, too light or too heavy, too heady or too weak - a rare, Goldilocks scent!

As the scent settles, the light florals flounce in & out of a damp, dappled wood with a wet patchouli & vetiver base. Magnolia is the star but there is more to this scent - it has a juicy, fruity feel & a playful spring in her step.

It fades out, rather quickly, to a still-water, powdery, gentle soapy-floral waft.

Those who enjoy cheery fruity scents but seek a little class in their scents, or those who are trying to find a citrus-floral that won't cause headache or offense should give MN a try. Jolly nice little pick-me-up.

I adore this fragrance. First burst smells really fruity (nothing excessively lemony on me, though),than the magnolias fold.

After an hour it becomes really sexy when the creamy magnolias blend with the vetiver and woody notes.

It is not the loud girly sexiness to attract every male around but the one that is only meant for those we want close.

The first thing that came into my mind when I received the sample tester, was "wow, a Latin name, I really hope the smell of this one is going to be as great as the name is"

The thing is that I find it like a Mediterranean scent, at the beginning it smells like citruses, lemon or other citrus and some spring flowers. Magnolia Nobile makes me think of my long dreamed of vacation in Italy, a wonderful spring day, sitting on the grass under a magnolia tree and drinking some lemonade and reading some Italian classic writers or poets. Kind and gentle as the balmy Mediterranean wind, Magnolia Nobile is just too quiet for me, too floral. I don't know but this is one of the scents that makes me think of those innocent pretty girls.

A perfume good to wear when you go to the park or the Botanical garden.

The thing is my hair smells like Magnolia Nobile every time I wash it. That is why I don't find anything spectacular in this one.

Nothing original and striking here, nothing loud, nothing too much, nothing too little but it is just a floral fruity scent. This is the smell of me after taking a bath. Unfortunately I don't think that the name fits the fragrance.

For me, the name, the scent itself and even the bottle have to be the same as the concept or the idea that stands behind the perfume, and here it is not the case.

Goes on sweet bright citrus, with a sugared lemon effect. Definitely a floral blend with strong citrus notes. Cedar-like metallic notes make it seem a little purple. Might be nice enough as a summer scent but it isn't quite what I expected as there isn't a lot of the creamy lemon magnolia I've come to expect from sniffing true southern magnolias. Nice but not what I'd hoped for.

I really like this perfume. I love the lemon, it is sharp, mouth watering and delicious. The magnolia is soft and gentle, too much magnolia can be headache inducing for me. This perfume has just got it right. I also find this perfume fresh and very uplifting, very good in hot weather. Also good in winter puts a spring in your step. I would regard this perfume as different and not old fashioned. There is a quality about this perfume and it is very Italian.

Magnolia has to be my number one top note in perfumes. It has such an incredibly beautiful, etheral feel to it. Exquisite, surely this is how heaven must smell.

The magnolia here has been PICKLED in lemon. It upsets me no end. Who could *do* that to a magnolia???

Ah, but nevermind my histronics, I am just sulking because my plans to scent the world with heavenly magnolia have been thwarted yet again.

Even though I am soon vexed by the relentless lemon note which endures the entire length of the journey, initally it is an enjoyable perfume, clear & sparkling. If you love lemon as a solifruit (yes, I made that up) then you will love this. Just don't come to this fragrance looking for the magnolia love of your life - you will be heartbroken.

I'm not sure what to make of this one! For the first few minutes, the citrus is definitely dominant- but on me, it seemed to skip the mid-phase notes, quickly devolving into vetiver! I never got the sense that I was wearing a floral scent at all-

My overall impression is that it is a sharp-edged fragrance more geared towards men than women. I only smelled it for about 3-4 hours, but perhaps I applied it too lightly- about 1/3 ml ... ?

This would be a beautiful perfume if not for that lemon note- I can tell something is very lovely underneath but the lemon cleaner smell ruined it for me. It's not the heaviest dose of lemon but it is always present and seems to clash with the composition on my skin.

I was beyond excited to try this fragrance. I almost dreamt about it.

Magnolia Nobile does indeed start out citrusy and alcoholic, however the more it settles on the skin the better it becomes.

The magnolia is obviously a dominant note in this composition, however the lemony finish tends to override it ever so slightly. I was disappointed that the rose and jasmine were not as prominent. The woodsy notes tend to be the main focus in the heart and drydown.

I was honestly enjoying this delightful, Summery take on magnolia until it suddenly transformed into a big, strong, bathroom air-freshner type scent. Please don't get me wrong, it's not terrible, it's just not to my personal tastes.

The scent is very feminine, just not very young or lively. For such an expensive price tag and a niche label, I really did expect something a little better, perhaps more floral and rich.

magnolia+flowers+fresh fruits in the beginning...then cascades to magnolia garden... lovely...

so soft, not overpowering at all, especially compared with other magnolia themed scent i tried before.

wonderfull silleage too...

This perfume smells so fresh and beautiful. It is blended so well. Every layer from top note to base comes through and smells devine. I apply the body cream and then the perfume. When I wear this perfume it tranports me to Sorrento and Capri and uplifts my mood.

ohhh...this one is the type of fragrance that i can't stand ! it is so old fashion-magnolia, linear, borring smell...Mediterraneo the same...Creed Spring Flowers equal...not for me ! Sorry to all of u out there who loves this kind of fragrance...no offence;)

I smelled this today for the first time and I was very impressed! It smells absolutely delicious! Since first sniff I could say the excellent quality of this fragrance. It's so well made and raw material has to be the good stuff! It smells great both on paper and on my skin.
It starts very lemony, the best true lemon. Then a full cascade of magnolia and other flowers fell over my head. It smells like being in a garden full of trees in full bloom, both magnolia and hesperids, if any such garden may exist. It stays this way for about 1 hour and 1/2 and then it gradually and slowly fades but the drydown is longlasting. It's a joyful fragrance that makes me feel like in summer shaded by plants under the sun. It's a floral fresh kind of scent, not too complicated, rather complex. A very classy citrus floral. It's also quite a little sweet and I'm happy it is not foody! Magnolia plays a big role here, but at the same time it stays calm, like a reserved white lady who knows her value and doesn't need to show up feistly to prove her existence.It remotely reminded me of Carnal Flower. No mainstream.
After 3 hours someone told me it smells like baby talcum (I smell no powder here!) and someone else told me it smells a little like flour! Is it ever possible since I don't like baby powder or flour smell? Weirdness of smelling sense.
The bottle is very beautiful and elegant.

I tried Iris Nobile and it's powdery, old fashioned perfume.
Magnolia Nobile is... should be called Citrone Nobile instead. Yeah, I get the floral Magnolia note, but I had to wait for hours until I detected it.
Top note is lemon like it is. It sings divas part (diva is late.. ^^)in the show and performs with more excitement than diva herself. It just smells like real lemon that I cut in pieces and add to tea. This fragrance has the most actual lemon scent I ever smelled. Thank goodness, it's not candied!
After hours it develops and becomes subtle floral. And there's that shy noble magnolia! Not very intense, but beautiful enough. I can't really separate the notes well, because the scent is pretty weak- I can point out rose and vetiver, but those are more like picture frame.
Try this if you liked Mediterraneo line.
