Unlike the last perfume, Barynia in 1985 that celebrated the baroque side of Rubinstein adorned in her Indian jewels, Wanted is a perfume of lightness and delicacy, transparent like a veil of petals. It smells like the huge white petals of Magnolia Grandiflora, now in bloom in Paris, surrounded by those green and shiny leaves. It is a soliflore that evokes with accuracy the scent of the flower with its crisp lemony (lemon sorbet) shade transforming into a delicate white rose, a shy lily of the valley and then a soft musk. Light and not strong, almost evanescent and with a great proportion of top notes built around linalool, the perfume is unexpected for Dominique Ropion & Carlos Benaim, both known for rather opulent and multi textured fragrances. Green grass and light watery pear notes suggest the shy flower in the morning covered with dew. The right name for the perfume would be Magnolia Petal Dew - too delicate for the daylight, the breeze will caress the angels leaving you with the desire of a flower with more body.

Is magnolia the new clean, do you think? It seems to be popping up all over the place...
I did smell it, at last, on a tree, and it's exactly like you say: lemon-rose sherbet.
I know you had your nose in a magnolia tree (an imperial bee told me). I think like you.... a flower less used to embody the new ideal of freshness.
Je sens de l'amande, aussi, la percevez-vous aussi?

Oui, et un peu de framboise-rose fraiche comme dans le Miss Boucheron (but very light!)
Ah, voilà, je n'ai pas halluciné, ça me rassure, aucune des vendeuses ne la sentait (l'amande), elles me disaient "ylang-ylang c'est tout". Et maintenant que vous l'évoquez, je pense sentir cette framboise, aussi, pourtant j'en suis aux notes de fond.
J'ai aussi remarqué sur internet que l'Ylang-Ylang et le magnolia sont tous les deux utilisés en thérapies contre l'angoisse, le stress et des problèmes tels que la tachycardie. Un parfum-médicament donc?
