Sud Magnolia
Atelier Cologne (2015)

Sud Magnolia by Atelier Cologne--ya basic, buuuut, you smell really good, last forever, and project like a beast. I bombed out my coworkers for several hours with just two sprays. The opening is sweet, juicy citrus with soapy rose and magnolia. I've never sniffed magnolia flowers, so i'm just going by the note list. The sweet juiciness quickly dries down to a fruity floral turned up to 11. The trademark Atelier clean, woody musk plays a big role in this fragrance and sometimes a warm saltiness in the form of celery shows up.

Sud Magnolia isn't original at all, but it's well done--good luck getting rid of it in the shower.

3/5

Juicy, bitter citrus grabs my attention. Pretty floral notes join in. The current adds some "color". The top notes don't disappear right away. They kind of hover over the flowers awhile. The florals to me, aren't overly discernable. I wish I knew more what magnolia smells like. I've smelled it so infrequently.

Pomelo lasts. Saffron can be smelled close to the skin. Cedarwood moves in, smothers the flowers. The whole thing sort of drops away after a couple of hours. This an "okay" perfume. Not genius - just so-so.

Reminds me of a rose-floral tea with woody notes in the opening. The drydown is all floral, like a bouquet of flowers. Comes off feminine to me.

Decent projection and good longevity.

Some inoffensive mix of flowers and fruity hat fades fast. I don't understand how could any company sell this at that price.

Atelier does Juicy Couture. Pleasant enough orange-floral opening, followed by a whole lot of nothing. Though it is not a very exciting experience the ingredients are once again excellent. Atelier has a knack for making average scents that soar to the top of their class by using very natural and lasting components, and this is one of them. Nothing really stands out here, but nothing offends, either.

A floral fragrance that smells pretty good. Refreshing orange and rose make for one that needs to be checked out. Leans more to the feminine side, but I could pull this one off. 7/10
