Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magie Noire Eau de Toilette
A bewitching chypre that commands attention, Magie Noire is vintage glamour incarnate. Green, mossy woods and dark resins swirl with florals for a haunting, enigmatic statement.
Statement
Our Verdict - Jolie Madame Eau de Parfum
This isn't your grandma's dainty floral water. Jolie Madame is a bona fide 'statement' fragrance - a bold, often polarizing leathery chypre with an arresting violet heart. Be warned: vintage and modern formulations offer rather different experiences.
