"You are unique, you are Magnifique." That's the tagline for the new Lancôme fragrance that ambassador Anne Hathaway unveiled in Paris last week. The woodsy, floral perfume won't be available until September, but we're hoping to get a sneak peek at the ad campaign very soon. For now, I can fill you in on the ingredients and concept behind Magnifique.
Inside of the faceted ruby-red glass bottle you'll find a blend of spicy floral woods that, according to creators Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier, is supposed to be an interpretation of the color red. Specifically, there are essences of saffron, cumin, rose, rose absolute, jasmine, sandalwood, and vetiver. Perhaps the most notable ingredient is the woodsy nagarmota essential oil. Cavallier says, "As far as I know, it's never been used before in feminine fragrance."
The Magnifique product range will include two eau de parfums ($65-$85), body lotion ($46) and shower gel ($46). Aside from the tagline, which is a bit Zoolander, it's as promising as it is intriguing.

Ha ha that's funny, "Zoolander tagline". It is though. I'd like to smell it when it comes out, sounds like it's going to be somehing unique. And I like Anne.
1I laughed at the Zoolander comment too...but saying that, this perfume sounds like the kind I would like. Look forward to checking it out once it arrives!
2Nagarmotha is pleasant but strong smelling herb. I've used it as decoction with coconut oil for hair-growth, plus it's also used in 'agarbattis' or Indian incense sticks. And when blended with jasmine and sandalwood, I think fragrance won't be too far from an incense stick's, so I'm staying away...
