Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Oakmoss, patchouli and resinous notes thrive in cool weather, making Magie Noire perfect for fall and winter. Its richness and warmth suit chilly evenings, but the green and floral edges make it wearable in spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Best suited for formal or evening occasions due to its opulent, bold character and pronounced sillage. Too commanding for sporty or daily office settings, but has a deeply romantic vintage allure for nights out.

About

Magie Noire Eau de Toilette conjures a shadowy forest at dusk, where galbanum and blackcurrant bud slice through the air before yielding to a hypnotic heart of rose, narcissus and honeyed jasmine. Dense oakmoss, patchouli and incense smoke up from the base, wrapped in animalic civet and velvety resins. The result is a lush, mystical chypre with dramatic sillage and a powerfully vintage, spellbinding presence.
