Lancôme’s Magie Noire is my favorite perfume from Lancôme. It’s a spicy chypre that has it all: woods, florals, spices, greens and incense.
It swirls around like incense smoke, leaving a trail of moss and sandalwood. It opens with pepper and velvety roses. The dry-down is a dark moss. I haven’t tried the new formulation. From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t compare to the “vintage-ish” stuff.
I think of Magie Noire as a “black cat” fragrance. It just has l’air of a black cat: it’s mysterious and a bit untrustworthy. And it’s a little goth.
It’s available at Nordstrom. Most department stores carry it. It may not be out on the counter, but they should have a tester if you ask.
I love this perfume!
I do too. I’m reviewing the reformulated version. It’s good but I don’t think it is as good as the original. I liked the original’s base better.
MACY’S DOES NOT HAVE THIS PRODUCT , WHERE CAN I FIND IT , OR CAN I ORDER THIS ON LINE? PLEASE ADVISE.THANKS,

I’m sorry. I’m not a brand representative, so I don’t know. Maybe you should email Lancome or order on-line: http://www.lancome-usa.com/fragrance-magie-noire/fragrance-magie-noire,default,sc.html
I try my best to keep links current but with a blog that has been updated daily for 4 years ran by one person, it’s difficult.
I hope you get a bottle. I know how frustrating it can be to be able to buy the perfume that you love!
I HAVE DONE THIS TWICE. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?
