Dominique Ropion, Jean-Claude Ellena, and Olivia Giacobetti, among others, have created powerful, refined, and innovative compositions. Each fragrance reflects a free artistic vision, conceived as an exceptional work of art. Frédéric Malle restores perfume to its rightful place as an art form, blending technical mastery with pure emotion.

An unexpected magnolia.
Fresh, luminous — with an unforgettable lightness.

You know the magnolia in bloom — that creamy white, slightly heady flower that perfumes spring gardens. Carlos Benaïm, perfumer at IFF and one of the most prolific creators of his generation, sought its brightest and most airy version for Frédéric Malle. Not the heavy, lactonic magnolia. The magnolia of a fresh day — light, transparent, infused with citrus and carried by a green breeze.

In this Eau de Parfum concentration, the composition expresses all its fluidity and lightness. Lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot open with a luminous and slightly aquatic citrus vivacity — calone brings this sensation of marine freshness that gives the whole its very particular airy character. The magnolia then settles in the heart, supported by jasmine, in a precise white floral accord — neither too creamy nor too heady. Vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss in the base anchor the composition in a woody and slightly earthy depth that gives it a much greater longevity and character than the lightness of the opening suggested.

Eau de Magnolia is the perfume for those who want white floral — but in its freest and brightest version.

A word from Maison Diaphane

Eau de Magnolia is the surprise of the collection — you don't expect magnolia to be so fresh and airy. Carlos Benaïm constructed it like a luxury Eau de Cologne: luminous at the opening, structured at the base. This is the perfume we recommend in spring and summer to those who want floral without a powdery effect.

Learn more about Eau de Magnolia +

Eau de Magnolia Eau de Parfum by Frédéric Malle is a mixed floral citrus perfume composed by Carlos Benaïm — senior perfumer at IFF, one of the most prolific creators in contemporary perfumery, to whom we owe compositions for the greatest international houses. It captures magnolia in its brightest and most airy version — fresh, infused with citrus, carried by a green breeze. Available at Maison Diaphane, official reseller in Angers. Free delivery from €100 (in France).

Its olfactory pyramid is built around a fresh and precise magnolia in the heart, opened by a luminous citrus top of lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, and calone, and anchored on a woody and slightly earthy base of vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss. In Eau de Parfum, the floral lightness of the composition expresses itself with a much greater longevity and depth than a classic citrus.

Eau de Magnolia is a fresh and structured floral citrus perfume with a moderate sillage, ideal in spring and summer, worn by both women and men.

Is the magnolia creamy or lactonic in this perfume?

No — this is precisely the surprise of Eau de Magnolia. Carlos Benaïm chose the freshest and greenest facet of magnolia, enhanced by calone and citrus in the opening. The creamy and lactonic dimension often associated with this flower is almost absent here. It's an aquatic and luminous magnolia — with an unexpected lightness.

What is the role of calone in Eau de Magnolia?

Calone is a synthetic material that evokes marine and aqueous freshness — slightly iodized, very clean. In Eau de Magnolia, it brings this sensation of sea air and freshness that gives the composition its uniquely airy character. It's what makes the difference between an ordinary magnolia and a magnolia that breathes.

Which season is Eau de Magnolia suitable for?

Mainly spring and summer — its luminous freshness and airy character flourish in the warmth. The vetiver-patchouli base gives it enough structure for cooler spring days. It is a perfume of mild seasons par excellence.

Who is Carlos Benaïm?

Carlos Benaïm is a senior perfumer at IFF — one of the largest raw material houses in the world. Renowned for his ability to create fresh and luminous compositions with great technical precision, he has signed creations for many leading houses. Eau de Magnolia perfectly illustrates his mastery of airy floral citruses.
