Magie Noire I still adore and will never be without. I think I know where to get a sniff, I should revisit it and see if it's what I remember. Magie Noire I still adore and will never be without.

I have one horrifying picture of myself in the 1980s with poodle bangs, teal leggings, and an orange tee shirt. Horrifying.

I feel like I've seen it around somewhere. have you smelled it recently? It would be interesting to see how you feel about it now. KL!

One of those frags I adored and wore quite often. I think the 80's are reminiscent of all things "Big" like my hair, big perfumes, (I wore Diva and Paloma Picasso, Fendi and Magie Noire) big (flourescent) jewelry. No wonder there aren't many pics of me in H.S.! Yes, I do remember it. One of those frags I adored and wore quite often.

I get flashes of what it smelled like, but have such clear memories of late '80's, out late, so young and thinking I was oh so ready for the world...and wearing my KL purchased from employee discount at Hudson's. Does anybody remember Lagerfeld KL? Same era...

It's true that so many of the 1980s perfumes were definitely not for shrinking violets. It's wonderful to be able to discover scent--and there's plenty of scent to discover, that's for sure!

I suppose I was always a perfumista and didn't really know it until recently. When I was just a teenager in the late 80's I ordered some mini's sampler from the back of Town and Country magazine that had Paloma Mom Parfum, Salvador Dali, Deneuve, and something else I've now forgotten....what can I say? (Aside from props to my mom who probably wrote a check for this for me way back in the day before we could order everything with plastic.) I LOVED all of them at the tender age of 15 or 16, especially Deneuve which sadly no longer exists. I often regret that I didn't keep the small Dali nose shaped bottle, and often also want to buy another bottle of PP, but I think it would last the rest of my life. These influential early scents for me (which also included Coco and Bal a Versailles) make me feel a little sorry for all the young women out there now who are being marketed to death with very simple sugary smell alikes. When I was a young woman, I aspired to be Coco or Paloma or Deneuve.....sophisticated, intelligent, beautiful, mysterious, worldly....what are all these modern simpering sugary fragrances inspiring in young women today? I am hoping that these perfume websites and interesting niche perfumes will entice and encourage young women to be a little more daring, etc. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! I love this post!
