Magie Noire was launched in 1978, created by perfumer Gérard Goupy. It belongs to the chypre–floral–oriental family and is considered one of Lancôme’s most enigmatic classics. The fragrance opens with vibrant notes of blackcurrant, bergamot, raspberry, and green galbanum, leading into a rich floral heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine, narcissus, tuberose, ylang-ylang, hyacinth, and lily of the valley. The base is deep and sensual, built on oakmoss, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, vetiver, civet, castoreum, benzoin, and musk, creating a mysterious, spellbinding trail. Its name translates to “Black Magic”, reflecting its dark, captivating aura.
