Wear Eau De Magnolia first, decide later
Eau De Magnolia by Frederic Malle is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

On the skin
No note list is on record for Frederic Malle Eau De Magnolia; wear it and judge. We would rather give you a clean sample than a description we cannot stand behind. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
For now, Frederic Malle Eau De Magnolia can only be asked for. The form on this page records your interest in this perfume, and we make no promise about timing. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Eau De Magnolia that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Eau De Magnolia, so let your own days decide. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
For Frederic Malle Eau De Magnolia no target wearer is recorded here. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Eau De Magnolia from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Frederic Malle Eau De Magnolia, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Eau De Magnolia as it was when we filled it.
The brand
Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle opened in Paris in 2000 with nine perfumes and one idea: the perfumer is the author, so the name goes on the bottle like on a book. Dominique Ropion, Maurice Roucel, Olivia Giacobetti and Jean-Claude Ellena work here with complete freedom, time and materials. The results are generous, often extreme in one direction, a rose pushed to its limit, a tuberose in very high dose, which is exactly why a 10 ml decant beats a quick sniff in a boutique.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
