Magie Lancôme 2005 Eau de Parfum

I didn't know for a long time that there was Magie.
Until the day I proudly presented my Hypnose "Hexenzauber" Elixir to someone, and she said... it reminds me of my childhood, of magic...
I interrupted her speech and immediately said; No, Magie Noire is from MY childhood, from '78, and not from yours, you are twice as old as I am--
No, Eva. Magie, from the fifties, belonged to your grandma.
Oops.
This will be something for me.
It smells so old... so dusty, like an old satin dress that can no longer be worn, it will disappear, collapse in on itself, decay.
I recognize light aldehydes from the top notes, which can have many variations between soapy and musty, and are unmistakable in so many old perfumes.
And then- come the sweet oriental jasmine and violet - lovely to excitingly floral.
And the opening is sensual amber and musk, not easy to describe, nor necessary, we know it as the skin-like fragrance base of several perfumes.
It is an EdP, with a very nice intensity. Today, EdP. Many years ago it was EdC and just as dark and intense.
With Lancôme, I have no doubt that something will smell off (until the completely new pink escapade, that is).
Perfumes are Lancôme's specialty and they are simply good, and definitely limited.
Only the truly obsessed must have it. Or, enchanted, witch, and ancestor. Others will manage perfectly well with available editions.
