Magie Noire Parfum, from Lancôme was released in 1978. The perfumer behind this creation is Gerard Goupy. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Currant Leaf and Bud, Galbanum, Hyacinth, Raspberry, and Rose, middle notes of Cedarwood, Honey, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Narcissus, Orris Root, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Ambergris, Civet, Incense, Musk, Myrrh, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Spicy Notes, and Vetiver.
Straight up Bánh mì. It sprays on a promising, yet vaguely astringent oriental, but within seconds it is the various components of a Vietnamese sandwich. Cilantro, daikon, pork belly, chiles, pickled vegetables, right down to the yeasty tang of a crusty baguette. There must be something wrong with me; no one in their right mind would make a fragrance that smells like this. However, sometimes one is just in the mood for a sandwich, and this is certainly complex and delicious.
