About

Before its leaves fully appear, magnolia can bring flowers to bare branches. At Frosei, we are drawn to the contrast between the simplicity of the branch and the fullness of each bloom.You can view our full ingredient directory here.

Description

Magnolia flowers unfold in a variety of shapes and colours, from pale, cup-like blooms to flowers with long, slender petals. Their petals have a smooth, almost sculptural quality, inviting a closer look at their form and texture.

In our Orchid scent, magnolia adds a soft floral layer alongside orchid and cedarwood.

Cultural Roots

In Chinese gardens and art, magnolia has been admired for the clarity of its flowers. The white blooms of Magnolia denudata, known as 玉兰 (yù lán), have also been associated with purity.

For Frosei, magnolia offers a moment to observe the changing season: flowers appearing on branches, signalling the movement towards spring.
