From the iconic fragrance house Lubin comes the newest release in their Portrait des Femmes collection, Magda.
Magda is a magnetic, bewitching, effervescent creative who captivates the attention of everyone in the room with her words. The muse of all young poets, Magda’s scent is not loud, instead subtly curls around the noses of those who surround her in carnal tendrils. Uncompromising yet curious, she is an artist, a writer, a weaver of words. She yearns to return to her native Mexico, a land of fruit and flowers, to write her next novel.

HOW IT WEARS
Magda is a gorgeous white floral that has unique fruity accents that never turn too sweet on the skin as they are surprisingly balanced by the earthy amaretto note. Dryign down into a sexy, earthy floral fragrance, Magda lasts incredibly well on the skin giving us aroudn 8 hours and leaving a gentle lingering silage in the air.
LORE LOVES
We love how seductive Magda is with a tuberose note that’s tucked away under a canopy of luscious gourmet fruits – until the fragrance has been on your skin for a little while. Then, the almost animalic, seductive white florals blossom into existence. Sweet but not sickly, Magda mingles with the skin in a super sexy way, drying down to a fruity musk that feels like your skin but better. Mysterious, alluring and delicately femme, this fragrance is perfect for the person who only speaks when they have something to say.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Born in 1774, Pierre-Francois Lubin lived in a period thought to be the most eventful in France’s history. He began his career as a perfume apprentice at the age of 10 to the famous Jean-Louis Fargeon in 1784. During this time under Fargeon’s tutelage, Lubin came to be entrusted with the beauty recipes of the French Royal Court. Fargeon came from a dynasty of expert perfumers and was Marie Antoinette’s official fragrance supplier. Renowned as the ‘holder of the secrets of beauty of the old court of France’ and thanks to his illustrious patronage, Lubin became the favourite perfumer of many European Courts. In 1821, he became the appointed official supplier of the King of England George IV. Then, in 1823 perfumer to the great Tsar of Russia Alexander I.

A to the J –
Magda is a beautiful floral with fruity touches, that is well blended and not too sweet. It dries down to a sexy and earthy cloud of deliciousness. The amaretto note is smooth and enhances the fruits that are present throughout. I will be wearing this a lot this summer. Probably more of a Spring/Summer scent in my opinion. I will switch to Upper Ten in the Fall, which has a great incense note and is a heavier fragrance. Both are so good.
