Napkins (Magnolias)

This collection is named after Pierre Magnol, a botanist from Montpellier (France). The first identified species of this plant was found by missionaries sent to North America in the 1680s.

Magnolia is an ancient family that evolved before bees appeared, so the flowers developed in such a way that they could be pollinated by beetles.

Magnolia flowers are very fragrant. Their delicate citrus scent with a slight hint of vanilla is at the base of many feminine fragrances. The oil distilled from its leaves is used as aromatherapy to calm anxiety and stress.
