The green note is the gamble here. Moss phlox and galbanum don't play safe, they're the botanical edge that makes magnolia feel like an actual place, not a fantasy.Magnolia City
The fennel makes this different. Not another aquatic that smells like hotel lobby, this one has an herb garden running parallel to the ocean. If you've been burned by synthetic sea notes before.Phtaloblue
