Magie Noire is a soft, slightly musky and pretty floral fragrance. The scent is oddly fresh and clean, yet warm, powdery and comforting. This makes me think that this would be an excellent fragrance for all seasons.
This fragrance was naturally going to be a hit with me since it contains so many of my favourite notes; raspberry, honey, tuberose, jasmine, ylang ylang and lily of the valley.
Strangely enough, I think this would make the perfect bedtime scent during those warmer nights. It's soothing, delicate and luxurious. It actually reminds me slightly of D&G for women in its powdery softness of the drydown.
I think this fragrance is an excellent choice if you want to go with something that isn't necessarily what everyone else wears. It's casual and delightful without being too overpowering. It's perfect.





A beautiful, mysterious scent. Once I read a review about Magie.
An intoxicating review which had me wanting to buy a bottle of the juice before it had undergone a reformulation.
It was about a women.
A women who was given Magie Noire with a warning: "Men adore it, but be very careful wearing it, as it is the smell of abandonement and passion, not love".
Very wise words, the perfume would be worn by a women in which men lust for, Yet cannot keep. A free spirit, drifting elegantly in and out of your life before you even feel her touch, or, what she fully has to offer.
The review made quite a mark on me, and ever since then, I can't help but have high thoughts of Magie.
A Women, wearing a white, flowy dress, riding bareback through the woods at Dusk. Her horse, Dark as the night. The moon, almost full, gleaming down with all it's radiance. The light was dappled, and the path was laid with wind-fallen apples. It was, after all, Her path. As the horse gallops, glittering dust surrounds it's hooves. All that can be heard is the horse's breathing, the women's heart racing, and the trampling of hooves, only understood by her. She stops, looks up to the moon, and breathes in the bewitching fragrance, which is Magie... Magic Night... She disappears mysteriously, Like a whisper in the wind. No-one questions her, no-one asks where she has gone, they just know. They know what they have seen, they know what they have smelt. Her passion, her strength, and above all, her elegance, will remain engraved forever.



Years later, on a school trip to Denmark, I received a bottle from the collection of my exchange patner's dead mother.
For all of these reasons I hold Lancome's masterpiece in high regard and from time to time I use it sparely, because it creates too much feelings when wearing.

"I just bought Magie Noir today, and i still like the fragrance. I did not know it have been reformulated. Do anybody know in which way it´s different from the originally?"
The IFRA, the International Fragrance Association, has enacted regulations that restrict the use of oakmoss, and also affect vetiver, among others. Any perfume or men's fragrance that had these has been or will soon be reformulated to limit or remove them. This has changed hundreds of classic fragrances, generally to their detriment.

I loved this fragrance since many years ago but I couldn't bring myself to buy it, the old bottle with the black plastic shield is just so awful for me that I wouldn't touch it.
I don't have the new version anywhere around but from what I remember, there's more resin straight from the top notes and it persist, the old one seems to be more fruity and soapy and just not the thing - or my nose changed quite a bit in the last two months.
I'll test it on my cat. She loves madly this fragrance and whenever I wear it, I have the beast in my lap, sticking her head up my sleeve - maybe she'll notice the difference too:D

I get so much scent drifting up to my nose, even with only a drop of eau de toilette on my fingers, that the sillage must be huge. Gorgeous - and I will put it away for fall, to be worn with a black dress and heels, as well as a glorious amber fringed scarf I own. Or perhaps with an ivory wool sweater and jeans, on a day when I have time to really appreciate the scent.

it is really magical :)
Do anybody know in which way it´s different from the originally?
There IS a difference, but its hard say in which way.




The drydown is different from the original formula - it is much softer nowadays and less compelling than it used to be. Yet I still like the fragrance and think that it is very egnimatic and elusive - fantastic on the right woman... has to be kept away from the youngsters. To simpy call it just one of those powerful orientals from the past is to misunderstand its rich complexity. It is not vulgar- and the new formula is not as tenacious as the old one, sadly enough.
I like it best on brunettes, but then, this might be an old-fashioned attitude to scent.
