Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Magie opens with a compelling interplay of rich amber and indolic jasmine, immediately signaling its vintage allure. As it settles, a powdery violet emerges, adding a delicate, almost melancholic grace, while a sensual musk provides a subtle, animalic depth. The scent ultimately dries down to a warm, enveloping amber, maintaining its refined and sophisticated character.
