MAGNOLAN®

Magnolan® is a synthetic fragrance material from Symrise with a fresh floral character. Its scent brings together impressions of magnolia, peony and lily of the valley, with a grapefruit-like accent that gives the flowers a citrus edge. This combination can make a floral bouquet feel open and light, especially when the composition also contains fresh citrus notes.

For a shopper, the useful distinction is between the material and the flower: Magnolan® is a named perfume ingredient, not magnolia essential oil or a blend of extracts from all the plants its scent suggests. Perfumers can use it to connect citrus freshness with a transparent floral effect, or to soften the meeting of flowers and dry woods. Its prominence and the overall sweetness depend on the full fragrance, rather than on the name alone.
