Our verdict on Magnifique: Acquired

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.

With its moderate to strong sillage and significant longevity, Magnifique commands attention, making it less suitable for a quiet office but perfect for evening dates and formal events.

About

Magnifique opens with a sharp, intriguing kick of saffron and caraway, giving it a distinct warm spiciness. This quickly settles into a rich, deep rose, which, unlike many other florals, sidesteps any overly sweet or light interpretations. The base is an earthy, almost smoky blend of nagarmotha and sandalwood, lending a solid, woody foundation and a sophisticated, slightly mysterious depth. It's a bold, confident composition, a far cry from the usual saccharine fare.
