No, no, no, at least to the modern version of it! Having read some raving reviews about this classic, I ventured out to the loal drugstore with a well-composed perfume section and took a hopeful sniff - instantly regretting it. Sprayed it on to give it a second chance - and rued the day.

I considered Magie Noir to be one of my favourite perfumes of all time so what was I thinking when I decided that because I was so fed up with all my niche perfume sampling disasters that this would be safe blind buy (blind buy in the sense that I had not tried the reformulation).

Many years ago a friend gave me a gift of Magie Noire . As the years passed, I barely remembered it - until recently. Visiting a Lancome counter to take advantage of their faithful shopper offer, I was told I needed to make a purchase to qualify.

Of all the fragrances attempting to convey the idea of darkness, Lanc?me Magie Noire stands out as particularly successful. The layering of animalic notes, the opulent florals like ylang ylang and tuberose and a lush dose of moss results in a fragrance of such mysterious, dusky and brooding...

i use this fragrance everyday. i don't feel complete without it. the only con about it is that the dusting powder is no longer available. i receive many compliments on the fragrance.

Magie Noire, means ‘black magic' in French, is a classic fragrance from the house of Lancome, launched in 1978. Magie Noir has a unique composition; which doesn't follow the classical top note, middle note and base note development.

Love this perfume, it is the only one I wear...

Strong scent. Bottle size too small.

Alluring; Long Lasting

Magie Noir is a beautiful long lasting scent that makes me feel like a million dollars! It's my all time favourite. CheapSmells offers the best price for this up-market expensive perfume that is not always easy to get hold of!

Exotic, bewitching & intense- Magie Noire is an addictive journey with no hiding place. It truly is a confident, " full on" fragrance! iT seems to have a unique composition- almost travelling " back" on itself.
