Miracle So Magic! Lancome for women


Miracle So Magic!  Lancome for women

A feminine ode to good life, full of surprises and miracles, a symphony for the free spirit, bursting with humor; it shouts:’la vie est belle’! Magic starts with the notes of narcissus, clover leaves and wild rose. This fragrance wakes your senses and lifts you up. Miracle So Magic! was launched in 2004. The nose behind this fragrance is Annick Menardo.

Main Accords: floral, rose, green, woody, powdery and sweet.

Personal review: The initial blast of rose.. the rose OIL may not seem very welcoming, but literally after seconds it smooths out and gives way to the beautiful lily of the valley which starts to emerge. It's such a beautiful stage it almost takes my breath away. 

Later on you'd still get whiffs of rose - sometimes it's a lovely light and sort of sparkling rose, sometimes still that nostalgic heavy oily rose (which I'm not a big fan of to be honest). So indeed, it's definitely a rose scent. But not only! 

The notes are beautifully blended and well balanced. The daffodil is not too noticable nor sharp (as it sometimes happens), just giving the composition some extra sweetness, and the combination of violet and hazelnut is not overpowering or too powdery, just making this otherwise pink rosey fragrance a bit more solid. This fragrance has a round, sweet and stable body surrounded by sparkling rose and lily of the walley, it's definitely not another fleeting rose water. And last but not least the ambery-musky dry-down makes it even rounder and warmer. Well done!
