Magnolia image by Imogen Cunningham/ Zelda Fitzgerald

The first time I tried a small test spray of Zelda perfume, I was taken aback. It seemed a little bit harsh and spiky to my nose, and I didn’t really get the magnolia listed as the heart note. Wearing it again for my review, I found the secret. I sprayed Zelda all over my arms and shoulders from a little bit of a distance, so the scent was evenly and lightly dispersed over my skin. I was instantly surrounded by a cloud of rich, honeyed blossoms. The big waxy blooms of magnolia represent Zelda’s wild Southern Belle roots and the woman F. Scott Fitzgerald fell for. Throughout the life of the perfume is that full, plush scent to make us think of a lively, brilliant woman
