    Real talk

    Some fragrances whisper. Katia projects. Above-average longevity means it holds through an eight-hour workday and arrives at dinner still in command. The green florals never soften.Katia
    Magnolia doesn't try to be anything other than a late-80s white floral. And that's exactly why it works. The clean, soapy finish that some call dated is actually the blueprint.Magnolia
