Ok I will admit that I'm now obsessed with this fragrance. This is going to be the first new scent I buy for winter. Really like that is soft and warm and ultra feminine. Can't wait!

Did someone say cloying??? Come on... to the over appliers and fast sniffers, make sure you haven't bathed in the most loved and fragranted Bath and Body Products in the shower before putting on your perfume... yes, this will make a difference. Don't put on scented lotion, before then layering your perfume on top of it all. YES, it matters. I know something you can leave a jacked up review on, Fairy Dust... Can-Can, Rock Princess. Magnifique like many things advertised have a name hyped up more than it's product, however... this is one of many pleasant scents, and it's not overly used and abused in the perfume world either.

It is on my wishlist but not so sure anymore? I love the initial smell but then it just turns jammy and woody on me. I so badly want to like it though? Will give it another try during our winter season again (June/July/Aug) - maybe I will know for sure then, but for now - no thanks.

On my skin Magnifique presents itself as a beautiful and elegant rose scent. It is very romantic and tender in a reserved and well mannered way.
It reminds me of Tresor's dry-down but it is not as powdery.
Obviously it depends on the body chemistry. My recommendation is that you skin test it first before making a decision to purchase. It is definitely worth the money.

from all my perfumes, magnifique is still having the most unique & identifiable smell from others, which i love it most. i feel myself being pampered when wearing magnifique, and i feel less stress when i am wearing it for work. i would say that magnifique is magical & unique! many thanks to this fragrance creator.

This is a rose in the same style as Stella - a bit spicier and different to your usual sweet, jammy, straight rose scent. The top notes are almost like a drydown texture, very sultry and powdery and envelope you in a cloud of dark floral spice. At first I thought this would be a day fragrance but the more I have used it the more I think it is suited to evening. It's not a sweet frangrance at all, it's mysterious and alluring and changeable, ideal for a romantic dinner or midnight interlude. The bottle is a delight and exceptionally suited to the scent. Its staying power is pretty good but not overpowering. While most Lancome scents appeal to the mass market, I can't say i've smelled this on anyone else asyet and it's been available for well over a year. Very very nice.

This perfume is very beautiful. Its a nice citrus spicy scent. The only problem that I have is that it doesn't seem to last all day. Or maybe its my body chemistry, and as we all know, different people give off different scents when wearing the same perfume. i wish that my chemistry worked well with this perfume because I love the rich, classy scent. actually, i think it does work well with my body scent, a little bit.

This one is another scrubber for me. Too sharp and artificial for me. Doesn't change much. Smells horrible, something that I can't stand in this one... must be combination of saffron with some other note... Sorry. Love, love, love hypnose though.

Nice and simple, nothing special. I tried it many times, on my skin after a while it turns something disgusting chemical, like melted plastic. My Mam doesn't feel this strange smell, and she cannot understand, what I am talking about. Actually I had the same with YSL Parisienne, so beautiful, but then...

It is a nice one.Saffron makes the difference.Not too strong though.Sharp opening then drying down softly.I bought it after testing many perfumes ,last winter.I seperated it among many others(this and Estee Lauder;s private collection amber ylang-ylang)-i pick magnifique cause the other could not afford.It is magnificent!!!!!

I tried this on one arm, Hypnose on the other. I loved Hypnose, but this one is sharp and acidic when first sprayed and then starts to morph into a wallflower of a fragrance, hardly detectable, I smell no woods, no musk...just your typical bouquet of flowers...nothing magnificent or memorable about it. Plus the lasting power is not that great...it disappeared in a few hours, while Hypnose was still working its magic on my other arm.

Just I got this perfume yesterday with others perfumes from Lancome and I'm totally amazed, really I like so much in my skin. Initially It smells more spicy (Saffron) but after approximately 20 min. reveals a floral heart of roses very pleasant (bulgarian rose and rose of may). Also, this It's a very original and elegant fragrance in its base contains Nargamotâ (papyrus wood), so I recommend 100% to test in your skin and You do not let to influence for negative comments, remember each perfume is unique in each person =).

The lingering woody saffron notes make Magnifique iconic in itself.

However, unlike most fragrances, this lacks development so basically you smell the same characteristic notes over and over again.

It's unique, original and not so mainstream, therefore its almost impossible to get bored with this.

Few would consider this 'spectacular' but it is different from most modern scents, so this has my respect.

i decided to spend an evening with this fragrance and in the beginning it was gorgeous.light floral woody as i really do love woody scents!
too bad that after 2 hours there was nothing left. couldn´t smell anything of it anymore.

I am amazed by all these negative comments..
Please don't let them affect you, this is not that horrible.. maybe not magnificent but for sure not horibble!

To me the most interesting part of this perfume is the openning, I get some frutty floral notes with a hint of anise and coconut.. While the minutes count it changes and becomes more ordinary, this is the part where I feel something "old- fashioned" and that ruines it for me.. The final transformation as it is mentioned before it has an intense woody musky base
It's a nice everyday perfume but nothing extraordinary..

wood,wood and wood!I think it was better to name it she wood,instead of magnifique.
it was my first impression from this perfume.I smell vetvier and wood.that's all.I told myself:this is a perfume with personality.
yeah,the smelling is so mature and different,but not too heavy for younger audiences.
like so many of other reviewers,I believe it changes so much after 30 minutes.the floral,sweet notes become stronger and stronger.I thought I smelt hyacinth,because it's both floral and very sweet,like honey!as the matter of fact as the strong woodsy notes fade away,this honey smelling starts to become more and more dominant.
the long lasting power is very good!after 4 hours of applying it(so far),it's still living on my skin.
by the way Jacques Cavalier and Olivier Cresp both are huge perfume makers.so it's nice too see they have made a perfume together and the result was good.

i like it very much! got it first from a sample inside a mall, at first i was not very impressed by the smell and thought it was just like incense burnt smell. but after i reapplied it again, it was like Wow, i love it very much with its magnifique, dreamy & thousand of roses smell!!
and then i'd bought the 75ml bottle without any hesitate! :D

hehe - i just came online to check the ingredients, because i came to the exact same conclusion... the drydown is almost identical to tresor (i tested both, one on each arm, and had to figure out why that was)... although i smell a bit of peach still from the tresor, i can smell a sweet, vanilla like rose in both of them... i think that is what i find similar... and perhaps some sandalwood?

regardless... magnifique is giving off a little kenzo flower EDP essentuelle in dry down too... i think it's the rose again...

I think the drydown is almost the same as Trésor. Weird, I know. The only ingredients they have in common are rose, jasmine and sandalwood!

When i tested it, i smelled first the woody notes (which i like, i thought it was quite unique). But after 10minutes or so it became an overly sweet flowery perfume and there were no woodsy notes left. For me it was a big dissapointment!

Update: today i smelled it again, i think the first time i had a bad tester, because this time the notes were more blended: roses, sweet jasmine with in the background some woods. I think it is more supposed this way =) Still love the woody notes, but im not a big fan of jasmine (and in this perfume you can definitely smell it) so im not going to buy it...

I tried this in a sample that I got with a purchase. I love Anne Hathaway, the model for the fragrance. I was hoping to like this too, but frankly it smells like Secret Deodorant that's been on an armpit all day. Ick!

This is my newest fragrance. My nephew gave it to me for christmas, and at first i didnt like it at all. I felt it was far too strong. But after having it on it really grew on me, and now i love it more and more every time i wear it ! It starts off with a blast of sharp tones, but after a while on the skin it transforms into a warm and sexy perfume. This would deffinately suit strong young women perfectly. Also it lasts long, so you dont have to re-apply it during the day, wich is nice. :)

I have a soft spot for this one, and I think it's because it has a unique scent that I dont usually encounter in other fragrances.
The saffron notes bring out a bohemian, artsy-fartsy characteristic to it.

It's sophisticated and artistic at the same time, without the pretentiousness.

I knew there was a reason why I liked this alot.

I tested it on my skin once and had to wash it off after about thirty minutes. I just couldn't stand the scent anymore. On me it was the same smell you have in shops that sell incense sticks - intense and nice for a couple of minutes, but after that just horrible.

I wear it and enjoy wearing it. Does it smell like carrots on the top notes? YES! But that smell (yes, I can smell fresh carrots, that is not bad, I need to stress it) fades away and a gorgeous and mature scent comes! As some people said here, and I agree with them, it's more wearable than Trèsor.

EDIT: Trèsor IS wearable. I smelled the EDT before and it's not that nice, but the EDP version is gorgeous!

Oh no, no, no, NO! This fragrance had me cringing from the very first spray.

Sure, Magnifique is unique, but perhaps Lancome took their new daring approach to making fragrances a little too far this time.

I really expected Magnifique to smell magnificent; rich, elegant, powerful and almost regal. Honestly I don't find anything wonderful about smelling like a piece of burnt plastic and synthetic flowers.

The alcohol is so strong in this fragrance, it almost wipes out the notes completely. I agree with Lorena, I have smelt cheap drugstore deoderants that smell better than Magnifique.

If you can manage to get past the overly strong opening notes without washing this scent off, the scent does improve slightly. Magnifique becomes a woodsy fragrance, yet I'd say it is more masculine smelling than feminine.

I very rarely get headaches from fragrances, yet Magnifique has succeeded in giving me one. I think it's because of the strong caraway and vetiver notes.

I don't know if I could ever recommend this fragrance, I'm rather glad I don't work behind a Lancome fragrance counter, otherwise I'd have to lie and don a false smile everytime someone bought this fragrance.

I tested this scent in Belk's the other day and fell in love - this is a GORGEOUS scent - soft rose mixes with a terrifically gentle woody touch to create a mixture that is sensuous and romantic, sexy and simmering and just almost good enough to eat. It lasted a long time and kept its fragrance well. I'm currently waiting for Macy's to get their act together so I can order it RIGHT NOW !!(I have gift cards, but for some reason their gift card automation isn't working ... *le sigh*)

I wondered where the spices were coming from. The caraway brings a decently spicy touch. The caraway wafts up and around, surprising you sometimes during wear, it doesn't fade away. The saffron keeps everything velvety and mellow. Seems as if there is citrus in the top notes too. The sandalwood is prominent, along with the jasmine and rose. The rose and jasmine combo a bit overwhelming at times. The vetiver.....I did not notice it.

Magnifique is elegant, smooth, and cool-
in a beatnik or hep cat way.
The scent is not stimultating, itś warm, comfortable, relaxing, and smells like incense, too, wich always appeals to me.

I do like it, but, I don't love it. Itś lacking in degree of quality and depth. I say lacking in degree, because Lancome could turn it up a notch-improve the quality and intricacy by a degree or two- and the perfume would become exciting. (The same can be said for Lancome Hypnose)(*sigh*) Also, the fixation and sillage leaves some degrees to be desired (for both Hypnose and Magnifique). (Although, I must add that Magnifique is a small notch above Hypnose in design, fixation, sillage, and quality in general.)

First sniff - & I think 'big yawn, another generic floral fragrance I've smelled a thousand times before' & then, BAM, it unleashes a whole bag of spiciness & the smokiest driest woods. In fact, it was so intense that I could taste it at the back of my throat, thick & greasy.

I love woodsy fragrances but this one disappoints - it has a strange synthetic edge that smells a bit like fuel. I really like the idea of the suprise element - but this 'twist' backfires in my nostrils. IMO, this is not as well-crafted or as balanced as Tresor.

I got so excited about the bottle that i actually bought this perfume in a gift set, without knowing the smell. It came in a beautiful satin bag and i just couldnt resist it. But when i sprayed it on my wrist... couldnt really tell what this smells like. Its strong but after a while i actually liked it. It works for special evenings but i dont think its suitable to use as an everyday perfume. However, i´ll keep it :)

At very first seconds Magnifique smells like carrots!What's Magnifique about carrots? Even now it smells like some carrots with spices, nothing magnificent at it, but at least different and funny. I agree it feels not very good. Only at very first minute I found it interesting, then it goes spicy woods. And extra carrot feeling. A perfume you can wear to your summer cottage where you grow carrots, potatoes and other vegetables. The cottage is woody and you used to make spicy carrots every evening surrounded by fine wood furniture. That's how I feel about it. Nothing magnificent, no evening gowns or make-up, only country, natural look and (!) carrots. Bottle by the way looks very beautiful on picture, in person quite acceptable too, but it definitely doesn't match the spicy carrot scent.
I'll add that from other side (when someone wears it) it smelled very pleasant and scented 'trail' is huge- like 25 m... :D

I know people who do like this scent, but I have had a series of bad experiences!

First the scent it's self: Out of the bottle it smelt fine, but once I put it on my skin it became very woodsy. I really didn't care for it, which was rough as it lasted for a LONG time. I can't remember Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker too well but for whatever reason I keep recalling that scent when I think of this one.

Still even though the scent kind of burned me, I thought of all of those who did like it (like my mother), and how much I liked the bottle, and didn't mind that I had purchased it.

However, the beautiful bottle (which is really pretty red, and catches the light beautifully) started to peal!! It gets all over me when I move it, and I'll touch my face with out realizing and it's all over! It's terrible.

All and all, I really feel kind of cheated.

I have worn miracle, and I still have hypnose, and well , they are sweet fragrances I really like, so, I bought magnifique, and because of the name of the perfumes you probably expect " the masterpiece of lancome"... but finally you realize that this perfume not only is not " magnifique" but also it is worse than the cheapest cologne or deodorant you can buy in your small town.
when you first spray, and at first smell, you can predict something good, but after a moment, you are still with your eyes closed, smelling the fragrance, you notice, that the fragrance gets too spicy for an instant, and then starts dissapearing like a common 4 dollars cologne. Big dissapointment for me.

A daring femininity that triggers true passion! A sophisticated and contemporary blend of Saffron, Bulgarian Rose and Nagarmota Wood. MAGNIFIQUE is the quintessence of sensuality and ultra-femininity.

I was happy to get a good deal on a 50 ml gift set - 30% off normal retail price plus points for reward programs. Although it is not my favorite fragrance, I think it is worth the amount that I paid. Sometimes I learn to appreciate the goodness of something after I have it.

Magnifique smells a little like Britney Spears Curious in the beginning. The body lotion smells like a real piece of wood. I like the body lotion more than the perfume. This fragrance does not seem to sell well here in New Zealand.

Peculiar. Interesting bottle, sweet top notes and then it stops. I don't mean the scent goes away, I mean it stops at the back of my throat and feels unpleasantly dry (No I'm not drinking it!) Something in this perfume feels cut off, like I can't get past some strange synthetic note that's almost strong enough for me to taste. The sweetness dissipates and leaves a compromise of wood? spice? some weird thirsty mechanical-smelling component. Nice on paper, doesn't work on me at all.

I love this scent. Although roses always seemed to make me feel as though that was an "older" person's smell, I like the combination in this perfume. The spicy notes also contribute to this scent. I have gotten a lot of compliments on this scent when I wear it.

Unusual and sofisticated,it is not for everyone.I smelled it two days before I bought it, not beeing sure if the Nargamota wood,saffron and other spices will mix and last properly on my skin.The top notes are remarcably according to sunny autumn days.Men really apreciate it.

What comes to Magnifique, image doesn't meet with reality at all. Advertising suggests it to be very unique, glamorous and distinctive - and what do you get? An average fragrance with twists and notes that have been smelt a thousand times before. In other words, it's plain boring. Would be a waste of money to invest in a bottle of something so "trivial" a scent as this.

Hmm... Well, in my opinion Lancome wanted to come out with a palatial perfume with this "you're unique, you're magnifique" advertisement-----> then they should have created a better and more remarkable one. Actually, I liked it at first, it smelt good, floral-woody, and spicy but a little fruity too. But in the end it smelt like shampoo :O I don't know if you think similarly but it was my impression...

I don't find it Magnifique but rather banal, nothing special.

I got this as a sample on the weekend. Magnifique goes on extremely sweet with a blast of Rose, soon the other notes join it for a sweet floral fest with a touch of "washing powder smell".

Unfortunately I find Magnifique too strong without any scents that makes it unique. It smells like your quintessential perfume, and dare I say it - old lady like.

I will try it again one day in the future (the sample will probably sit at the back of the cupboard) but I don't think it's for me.

I definitely wouldn't buy it.

With all the "New great thing from Lancôme" vibe about it, I thought it would be more communicative, but it wasn't. Somewhat old-fashioned and not too thrilling a scent.

Just tried it. I had expected something with a more distinct floral note. This is too heady, earthy and I think it a little too "old" for my taste. I wouldn't even give it another try!

Do i smell some citrus in the top note? Got a sample and cant't figure out if i like it or not... I think men likes it, specially at later hours.

Sorry, absolutely cannot stand Magnifique as absolutely coudn't stand Tresor befor. They both stink...
"Old Lady" smell, annoing and unpleasant.

This is sweet and salty at the same time. I can smell a lot of saffron in the opening, but it's too cloying. I was expecting more woods instead.

I was in Paris this summer when it was launched first at Sefora, I tried it and it reminded me of MIRACLE by Lancom too, I was like 'why?'

Still don't know what to think of this one... Received a sample of this last weekend and tried it several times since then. Something in it intrigues me, makes me smell my wrist all the time. I like the seperate notes (rose, jasmin, and the woody notes) that come to my nose when I try to indicate them. But I find the overal smell too strong. I also get something like a smokey note which I do not like. I do find it extraordinary for sure. Just not for me though. I think it's just body chemistry...

i sampled it yesterday and i kind of liked it; it's an interesting combination of floral notes and intense peppery, which last long; i would say this is a good one, full of contradictions; i would give it another try:)

I only did get faint floral with a hint of woods and musk, very subtle and thin. Maybe I didn't spray enough?
