Which Should You Buy?
Lancôme's Magnifique is a divisive, opinionated red-dress marvel for those who want a grown-up rose with a spicy, woody edge. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but for its loyal fans, it's a 'magnifique' original that transcends fleeting trends.
This isn't your grandma's rose. Rose Taif is a polarising scent - some find it a gorgeous, comforting woody-rose, others find it too sharp and bitter. Definitely sample first before committing.

Its bold, spicy-woody character lends itself well to dressed-up occasions, though some find it versatile enough for more casual, daring wear.
