this is true magic
I knew it from earlier, specifically the vintage bottle, but I couldn't quite remember what it was like.

Now, a little bottle has moved in with me again, and yes, it leaves me speechless. I haven't smelled something this good in a long time.

Reading through the fragrance pyramid, one might think that so many different ingredients would be overwhelming. But not for me; on the contrary, I could constantly douse myself in it at the moment (though I only have 30 ml, so caution is advised).

So how does it actually smell? If only I could describe it. Here, one wishes to be a poet or at least a writer, because I simply lack the right words.

Yes, green notes are definitely present, but which ones? You can also smell a bit of honey, just enough that it doesn’t become overpowering. It also has floral elements, but these never take over.
Animalic components are also present, but they somehow fit into the overall picture and never come to the forefront.
Everything is unobtrusive, enveloping you with a gentle hand, sometimes green, sometimes floral, sometimes a little woody.
This is true perfume artistry, blending everything together so that in the end, you don’t even know what you particularly like, what you love the most?

The version currently available for purchase, I also have, but it doesn't come anywhere close to this scent.

And once again, it’s such a shame that fragrances of this kind no longer exist and probably never will again. Therefore, we enjoy what we still have.

Black Magic
Lancôme Magie Noir opens the fragrance altar for you,
takes you into a dark magical world,
full of surprises waiting to be discovered.

You find yourself in an enchanted forest, surrounded by berries and dark flowers.
Earth with moss and animalistic weight,
patchouli also does not fade into oblivion,
no one will get in your way so quickly.

Her special sensual aura won’t let you go, this composition in the black bottle is simply fabulous.

As the fog lifts, you awaken,
then you quickly realize: was it all just a dream full of black magic?

You have quickly explained it to yourself,
this journey was worth it,
to dare something new
and to carry the dark magic from now on.

Mama for You
Magie Noir was my mom's scent. Tonight I'm still sitting outside, don't want to go inside, don't want to let summer go. I made a fire, it warms my feet.
The sky is starry, I'm thinking of you, Mom. Where are you.
The song Let it all Go by Birdy and Rhodes makes me endlessly sad.
You passed away in November two years ago.
We didn't have much in common, but you were my mom. I don't have your scent Magie Noire in my nose, it's in my heart.
It's no longer available, you're no longer here.
HE was you for me.
Patchouli.
My fire is quietly fading, I send you a greeting into infinity.

I'm thinking of you, Mom.

Fragrant Memory of a Friend
We met for the first time in high school; we were friends for more than twenty years.
It was only after 1989 that we lost sight of each other for good.

Two very different young women: Petra - tall, long-limbed, and dark-haired: I - small, petite, and in the end, blonde again.
It was not a "We stick together through thick and thin" kind of girl friendship. We had too many personal interests of our own for that.
We rarely discussed very private or even intimate matters: that was not our style.
Perhaps also because it was not common at the time to constantly "come out".

My most intense memories of Petra encompass the time when we were both in our thirties.
There were many shared activities, even a two-week vacation at a beauty farm.
Yes, that’s what it was called back then: wellness temples had not been invented yet!

I still vividly remember her perfume: "Magie Noire" - Black Magic!
For a dark-haired woman like her, it was a wonderful scent: full, warm, and sensual!
But it is also a fragrance of its time. A time of opulence:
Clothing and fragrances were often luxurious; "unisex" had not yet cast its shadow.
A woman was a woman - she dressed accordingly and she smelled like it too!

"Magie Noire" opens with a wonderfully fruity-green medley: black currant and hyacinth play an excellent role here.
Next, honey takes the stage: warm and a bit viscous. It envelops the following flowers, mainly from white spring blooms, with a special charm.
Ylang-ylang adds sparkling light accents.
So far, it is a very lively fragrance composition.
Sensual-erotic, yes, even a bit animalistic, a base of noble ingredients completes this scent.
Particularly, oak moss and patchouli dominate here slightly. But everything harmoniously blends together.
"Magie Noire" develops very femininely, at times even alluring.
The above-average longevity typical of many fragrances from that time accompanies this one as well.
"Magie Noire" is no exception: this scent and the woman who wore it were simply present!

The bottle is very impressive: black with bold colors!
I still remember that it felt very good in my hand; even with my small paws.

I will never forget the scent mixture that revealed itself to me when I opened the apartment door after I had once again taken Petra to the taxi late at night: a fine hint of good food, cigarette smoke, her "Magie Noire," and my "Chloé"!
That was a truly magical scent!

For we often sat together for hours at my place: ate more than enough, drank a little too much, smoked countless cigarettes, and talked, talked, talked.
As the evening progressed, we would also sit in silence together: we could afford that; we knew each other very well!

"Magie Noire" is for me the scent of a friendship that somehow faded away.
What a shame! And yet beautiful again: the memory remains and so does this scent!

Vintage, of course. Better than the current one, much greener but first the flowers come and then it becomes chypre, and WOW - wonderful scent.

A masterpiece that I wish I could have back - and not reformulated. Lush, intoxicating, unmistakable scent of a woman with courage.

Very well made, dense chypre, animalic-spicy, loud and heavy. A potential headache candidate for me*

A delicious chypre cocktail with a floral heart, green accents, and a dark, resinous-wild base. It's amazing!

Berry, floral, dark, earthy with moss, animalistic, smoky. Who wouldn't want to be the Voodoo priest? Enchanting black magic.

Every woman feels like a witch sometimes, and like a diva at other times! A scent that promises everything and rarely disappoints. Unfortunately, it's a thing of the past!

The sophisticated femme fatale. Stylish and dark. Lasts 24h and longer. Truly witchcraft. A dream?
