About
Magie Noire by Lancôme is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Magie Noire was launched in 1978. Magie Noire was created by Gerard Goupy, Jean-Charles Niel and Yves Tanguy. Top notes are Galbanum, Cassis, Cassia, Hiacynth, Bulgarian Rose, Raspberry and Bergamot; middle notes are Honey, Narcissus, Cedar, Orris Root, Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Oakmoss, Spices, Civet, Patchouli, Incense, Myrrh, Amber, Vetiver, Sandalwood and Musk. Magie Noire, which means "black magic" in French, is a classic fragrance from the house of Lancome. Magie Noire has a unique composition which doesn’t follow the classical top note, middle note, and base note development. It resembles a figure eight; it opens and fully reveals its character while the direction of its development suddenly changes, and it starts to move in the opposite direction, ending where it started. It is one of the most bewitching oriental fragrances. This exotic bouquet starts with Bulgarian rose and blackcurrant buds. At its heart, the jasmine flame burns, blended with ylang-ylang, amber, and incense, among other notes.

About
Trussardi by Trussardi is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Trussardi was launched in 1984. Top notes are Galbanum, Aldehydes, Green Notes, Coriander, Hiacynth and Bergamot; middle notes are Orris Root, Geranium, Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Rose, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Oakmoss, Leather, Patchouli, Cedar, Styrax, Sandalwood, Amber, Musk and Vanilla. This classic and sharp chypre could only be created by the designer house specializing in leather. The leather note and arid styrax note give off their masculine character. Top notes include aldehyde, green herbs, bergamot, hyacinth, galbanum and spicy coriander. Floral heart goes before sharp and warm base. Heart notes include geranium, a common ingredient in masculine fragrances, jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang. Beside leather and styrax, base note is composed of amber, cedar, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla. This perfume is very interesting and deserves attention of unusual and flamboyant women. It is created in 1984. The original bottle was designed by Nicola Trussardi. .
