At its best in Winter and Fall — best after dark.
Magie Noire by Lancôme is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Magie Noire was launched in 1978. Magie Noire was created by Gerard Goupy, Jean-Charles Niel and Yves Tanguy. Top notes are Galbanum, Cassis, Cassia, Hiacynth, Bulgarian Rose, Raspberry and Bergamot; middle notes are Honey, Narcissus, Cedar, Ylang-Ylang, Orris Root, Tuberose, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Oakmoss, Spices, Civet, Patchouli, Incense, Myrrh, Amber, Vetiver, Sandalwood and Musk. Magie Noire, which means "black magic" in French, is a classic fragrance from the house of Lancome. Magie Noire has a unique composition which doesn’t follow the classical top note, middle note, and base note development. It resembles a figure eight; it opens and fully reveals its character while the direction of its development suddenly changes, and it starts to move in the opposite direction, ending where it started. It is one of the most bewitching oriental fragrances. This exotic bouquet starts with Bulgarian rose and blackcurrant buds. At its heart, the jasmine flame burns, blended with ylang-ylang, amber, and incense, among other notes.
