[...] Aromascope sammenligner den med Chanels Coco, men uten krydderne, og – mja - det kan nok stemme med duftminnet. [...]

I’ve worn Magie Noire for years – even when I was too young to wear it. It’s not an old woman’s perfume by any means, but it is definitely a woman’s aroma and not a young girls. The parfum has always been a real treat and I hoard it. Many years ago I read that the body lotion and body cream were made with parfum instead of eau de toilette so I tried it. It was more subtle, but stayed constant all day. Even that is getting difficult to find now.

I too have tried the oil. I even made my own body lotion with it and it was terrific. Sadly, I haven’t been able to locate the oil for many years.

Funny thing though, without even realizing it it became my signature scent. My kids, relatives, friends and old work colleagues have often commented on ‘that wonderful fragence’ that I always wear. Truly, there is something marvellous about pulling your scarf out of the coat sleeve and having this scent gently enrobe me.

Absolutely my favorite scent, parfum only though. When it first came out they had a lot of special deals if I remember, and I was young enough to spend my money on such foolishness. Then, by the time I had money again, Lancome had stopped making the parfum. I was able to find some on ebay, and continue to look for it. It was and is the only scent I have ever worn where men would stop me on the street or in the supermarket, or even in the university library and ask me what I was wearing. Usually, sadly enough, because they wanted to get some for their wives or girlfriends, by that made me realize that it was certainly the scent for me. I was so glad to be able to find it on eBay.

You all are so right! You’ve reminded me I have a bottle of perfume oil tucked away in a drawer, a gift from my ex in 1986 when I was a newlywed. (I’m well rid of him, but the Magie is a great consolation prize!) I just got a whiff of it and it really does transport you. I love Magie Noire, it is like nothing else. The notes are interwoven so that you experience the floral notes and the animalic notes together. It’s like a drug.

i live in manhattan was just on the subway and this woman next to me was wearing it, she was european, it was soooo beautful, so pure innocent feminine, comforting warm and embracing. I am also a perfume phanatic, and am in love with many of L’artisan’s beautiful scents, but this lancome scent, in particular was nothing that i have ever smelt me before

Nicole, I agree! I so wish I could smell what I smelled back in those days. It was beyond gorgeous!

I too used to wear this perfume and fell in love with it. I was so disappointed when they stopped making it. The EDT is still wonderful, but by no means comparable to the perfume.

I would sign that petition if you started one!!!!!

Oh ladies; you have no idea the power of ‘Black Magic”, better known as Lancome’s masterful fragrance Magie Noire! I’ve worn this exquisite scent from the very first introduction. Every man in my life has known me for this fragrance, & has raptured in it…the stories I could tell, mmmm. It is an extremely sensual & powerful aroma, but not one that overwhelms. Since it’s origin in 1978, I’ve been fortunate to own two of the very tiny glass bottles of the parfum oil; sadly it is discontinued, at least here in the states. I lucked out about 3-4 years ago on eBay & won an auction for the second bottle that I treasure, only wearing on those very special of occasions, & placed on pulse points, & of course those areas that I hope to be touched. Needless to say, this bottle of parfum oil has to last forever!! I do wear my Magie spray daily, but admittingly, not as often as I used to due to inflation; I remember being able to get the largest size spray for around $36, now it is well over $56. Maybe someday I’ll get to Paris & stop in & see if Salon de Lancome has any of the Magie oil laying about in some remote stockroom. Magie Noire is indeed a most memorable fragrance, not just in & of itself, but for the memories I have when it was worn….ahhhh
