Lancôme Magnifique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud and Olivier Cresp. Magnifique opens with Saffron, settles into a heart of Caraway, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Lancôme's Magnifique carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.
