In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bourjois La Magnétique opens with a bright flash of mandarin orange before yielding to a heart of soft rose and jasmine. The base settles into white woods and a light, cozy vanilla. It stays fresh and floral with a subtle fruity sweetness that feels light on skin for warm spring days.

Reviews →

Balade aux Tuileries is a sweet fruity floral with a candied rose heart, soft pear and mandarin up top, and a praline vanilla patchouli base. It reads warm, feminine, and playful rather than airy. Reviews suggest it stays sweeter than fresh, but usually avoids turning syrupy. Best if you enjoy rose with gourmand touch…
