Beautiful Magnolia Intense by Estée Lauder — 50ml EDP Spray
Beautiful Magnolia Intense is Estée Lauder’s romantic, confident expression of modern femininity in a rich chypre-floral fragrance. Introduced in 2022 as a more elevated twist on the original Beautiful Magnolia, this scent blends luminous magnolia with iris, warm woods, and a lasting musk foundation. The bottle shown in the image embodies that romance with a soft pink, sculpted glass silhouette, a gleaming silver collar, and a clear orb-cap that glints on the vanity. It’s designed for women who want a statement fragrance that evolves from bright opening to a cultivated, velvet-draped dry-down.
