Is there a way to extract or concentrate the scent from a Southern Magnolia blossom, when the blossoms open that sweet outdoorsy lemony scent is over the whole yard. Every Magnolia spray I have ever smelled doesn’t smell anything like the real thing. It is my absolute favorite flower scent! My tree is full of blossoms and I want to extract it to use in my home. Please tell me there is a way!!

Hi Debbie, here is a link to information on how to extract the oils from flowers.

I would think a essential oil or perfume that is southern magnolia scented would be simpler and cheaper in the long run.
There are candles and room sprays with magnolia scents.
They just don’t smell like a true Magnolia blossom, they have an artificial smell like someone imagined the Magnolia blossom would smell. The true blossom has a lemony citrus scent! Nothing like it! For a few months a year my whole yard smells like the Magnolia blossom!! I wanted a way to extract the scent from the petals!
