Eau de Magnolia - by Carlos Benaïm (Perfume)

Family: Blooming citrus.

Unlike other white flowers that exude opulence, the scent of the magnolia is citrusy.
Carried away by a woody undertone, an enlarged citric balance of bergamot, lemon and grapefruit focuses on darker notes of oakmoss and patchouli in an olfactory representation of the sun and its shadow.


Teacher: Carlos Benaïm

"What was interesting to develop was the transparency of the flower, but giving it a warm and sexy feel in the back, that's what I liked and got after a lot of work." Frederic Malle

Carlos Benaïm is considered the greatest perfumer of America. As the author of the legendary Polo Ralph Lauren perfume and many other beloved classics, he owes his success to a great intellectual curiosity that has always prompted him to embrace a world beyond the confines of perfumery. At the request of Frédéric Malle, Carlos created home fragrances for the first time; some of the best the industry has ever seen.

He discovered perfumery as a child through his father, who was a pharmacist in Morocco and had a passion for essential oil extractions. "Every summer", Carlos likes to say, "my father and I drove our Jeep across the countryside, in and out of the collection and distillation sites, and I felt his enthusiasm intensify." "Carlos later acquired a deep understanding of perfume composition under the guidance of the famous American perfumer Ernest Shiftan.
