  I want to write a long and dense review; I don’t know if you’ll forgive me, but I want to talk about this eau de parfum, which isn’t here but I had the same bottle, all glass without the black part, to remember my father who is no longer with us. Many years ago, when I was twelve and a girl wanting to be a woman, a bit obsessed with perfumes, on a trip with my father from Barcelona to Andorra, I tested this fragrance. My father, the little man, was busy buying things for my mother and something for himself, insisting all morning that he wanted me to gift him a perfume as if it were a serious matter; the poor man agreed to take me to a perfumery. There was my first encounter with Magie Noire eau de parfum, and totally in love, I said: ‘Papa, I want this one’. Right in front of the cashier, he didn’t object to paying 2,500 pesetas years ago, but the poor man was speechless all the way home. Upon arriving home, my mother asked for explanations as to why he had conceded in such a foolishness but couldn’t explain; he only said it smells very well. I will always be grateful to him; I suppose, being often a bit rough and straight, he wanted to show that a little girl’s dream could be fulfilled if she was his daughter, even if just once. My sister, who was twenty-four when she saw the perfume, was dying of rage, a contained and cheerful rage with the warmth of a sister, and me taking revenge regarding her other perfumes she never let me wear excessively because evidently I was twelve, so she didn’t let me use it always… And the poor one would sneak to put it on because she loved it. We were born almost the same day with a twelve-year difference, and we have always had very similar tastes. So much did this perfume cause that one of the times she secretly wore it, it broke when it fell to the floor from the nerves, and I, very angry but laughing, said, ‘Now what!!’, and we went to buy it both. Since then, that perfume was always something special, and I can say that evidently it has a black magic to which many people fall without remedy, both my father and my sister. And both me and her have always gifted it to each other over the years to recall the months when our room smelled of that black magic that invaded us all. I have used the eau de toilette of now but it is not like the eau de parfum or eau de toilette of so many years ago; the current one is rougher and shriller, more masculine (I like it equally because it is deep), the eau de parfum is oriental with a delicacy and splendour that few can preserve today. I imagine myself today sometimes with this perfume at twelve and I start laughing, being a person like me with undistinguished dressing forms, at twelve showing signs, but finally my final projection has been another, more sporty and undistinguished, that’s true my nose still likes to find treasures like this, even if just to enjoy them, because it is, it is a treasure.

  I am small, and my father worked in France, bringing back perfumes recommended for my mother there. From that era, I remember Azzaro 9, Clandestine by Guy Laroche, and this masterpiece, Magie Noire. My mother always wore light eau de colognes, so these were kept rarely and are still in her dressing table. My sister and I, once older, used them more. I only dared to use Magie Noire secretly. My sister, nearly three years my senior and a fan of ‘Careless Whisper’ by Wham!, more decisively wore it on New Year’s Eve. She looked incredibly elegant, in a black satin dress, an Italian chignon, and heels, smelling of a grown-up girl. Upon returning, she told me she was praised greatly. A little remains in the Magie Noire bottle, and it has not spoiled, so when I visit, I sometimes open it and savour it with great care, as befits a masterpiece. Such perfumes are no longer made.

  Another discontinued scent I’ve finally finished. I won’t miss it quite as much as some of the others here. Nothing else compares, and wearing it today means smelling different, which is a point in its favour. It has immense personality, longevity, and sillage. It contains so many notes; my nose isn’t trained enough to break them down in detail. My skin highlights the civet, and it’s not among my favourite aromas. I have other vintage scents for formal occasions with which I identify more. I mentioned my nose isn’t trained, but I believe my entire generation isn’t equipped to smell vintage perfumes and discern so many notes simultaneously, especially since certain notes are no longer used and modern fragrances are simpler. So, I don’t feel disappointed in myself; there are complex perfumes, and this is one of them.

  It cost me a lot to find this perfume. It appears in the film ‘Working Girl’ along with many other 80s jewels. I can say it is the most 80s film I have seen. I only had the opportunity to feel the current Magie Noire EDT, incredible floral wood, elegant, wintry, and classic.

  It took me ages to track it down! It appears in the film ‘Working Girl’ amidst many 80s gems. That is the most quintessentially 80s film I’ve ever seen! I only tried the current Magie Noire EDT; it’s incredible. A floral wood, elegant, wintry, and classic.

  There was no moment I wore this fragrance without someone asking me what it was. Enveloping, mysterious, subtly creamy, a dark floral with a dry wood base and captivating. I perceived all that. Perfumes that do not pass without leaving a mark. I long for those 80s and 90s when every perfume was a journey to the world of notes.

  I never wore this, yet everyone kept asking what I smelled like. It’s enveloping, mysterious, subtly creamy: a dark floral with dry wood that truly captivates. I could perceive every nuance. These are perfumes that don’t pass unnoticed; they leave a mark. I miss those 80s and 90s years when every fragrance felt like a journey through the world of notes.
