Magnolia essence?

This may seem weird, but I'm aiming to spruce up my take on cascades orange with just a hint of magnolia essence. Not flavor, just the scent. I think it would make an interesting touch to the already great beer. Any ideas how to make this happen? I'm not quite crazy enough to toss a giant magnolia flower into the pot, but I will if I have to. I'm no longer in the South, so it may be difficult to find. But I can always brew at mom's if a magnolia flower is the key ingredient.

Anyone have suggestions?

Just a wild guess on my part, but could you steep a few flowers in a couple of cups of vodka?
