My Summer Smells Like Magnolia

There’s a scent that’s been keeping me company this summer—Eau de Magnolia by Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. I first stumbled into their West Village store years ago. I still remember the quiet joy of finding something that felt… right. This one’s bright yet grounded. Citrus and magnolia hit you first—clean, like morning wind through a half-open window. Then it softens into vetiver and patchouli, warm like skin after a run, when your body is tired but your heart’s wide open. After working out, I spray it on. It doesn’t mask the sweat—it mingles with it. Makes me feel more myself. Some scents scream; this one listens. #beauty #fragrance #summerquiet
