Magazine Street gives back to its muse: 8% of sales from every bottle support the post-Katrina reconstruction efforts of common ground refief (www.commongroundrelief.org), an exceptional non-profit organization working to sustainably rebuild New Orleans.
The composition is built around opulent magnolia with exotic vanilla and patchouli, delighted with vetiver and botanical musk. The nose behind this fragrance is Alexandra Balahoutis.
This is another SIP creation in which ambrette dominates. It’s there from the first whiff, along with a slight floral note that must be the magnolia listed in the notes (Is it Magnolia grandiflora? Where did she get the EO for that? Or is it Michaelia alba?) In any case, the combination of vetiver, “magnolia”, vanilla and ambrette does a good job of evoking the hot, humid, greasy, slightly raunchy odor of streets in the French Quarter of New Orleans, overlaid with whiffs of the occasional flower. As it dries down, the ambrette recedes into the background a bit, allowing the other notes to come to the fore. As the scent dries down, a sweet vanilla musk scent takes over, and it’s on that note that it fades away to oblivion. Sillage is moderate, and the scent lasts 2-3 hours but leaves traces of ambrette on clothing for longer. A nice variation on "botanical musk", definitely worth sampling.
Keep in mind this is a natural perfume with no synthetics, so it behaves differently than regular perfumes. Mag St. is sharp in the opening, but it does soften in the drydown. It is enjoyable and reminds me of my beloved hometown.
