Magot

Magot (meaning wad of cash or "nest egg" in French) lies in the space between whimsical and perplexing. It may be a bit unnerving to those who can't get on with an old-world style composition: beware, you might feel a bit stifled. It begins with a certain compactness that is quite attractive to my nose. It's a pastel bergamot leading into a dense lavender absolute and a whole lot of orris, underlined with clove. This results in an unusual merging of aromatics and boudoir-like sensibilities, something that wouldn't be out of place in the Oriza L. Legrand line. Herbaceous and floral, yet also powdery and candlestick waxy, a direct path from the "secret garden" to "flowers in the attic." There are also dried fruit apricot accents, especially as it reaches the heart stage. Few fragrances feel so elliptical to me, yet give me such satisfaction. It's so hard to pin down in its gallimaufry of elements, yet I want more of it each time I wear it. It is only after some time after it settles that it becomes more direct, growing more musky and violet-ionone-woody, actually somewhat reminiscent of the great early colognes marketed to men from the 40s through the 60s. How unique Magot is, and how it seems to be so misunderstood and regarded as "stuffy." To be fair, if any fragrance is described as "stuffy," my curiosity is immediately piqued, given my own personal taste. Magot is a real pleasure in my book and has become a favorite from Jacques Flori and Etro.

ماگوت بقدری رایحه بهشتی و ملایمی داره که بعد از ۲ بار تست به سختی روش تمرکز کردم بوی این عطر دست آدمو میگیره می‌بره به عالم خیالات . چطور ممکنه انقد بوی یک عطر ظریف و شکننده و بهشتی باشه . وقتی این عطر رو تست میکنم انگار وسط ی گلخونه بزرگ پر از گل‌های قرنفول ایستادم بوی میخک قرنفول و هوای تازه بنظر من این عطر شاهکاره شروع ماگوت حس کمپلکس و بالزامیکی و سبز داره ولی چند ثانیه لازمه تا کد های عطر سر جای خودشون قرار بگیرند بوی پوست لیمو و برگ و گل لاوندر و کمی حس فلفلی و اسپایسی شروع عطره تو قلب عطر که اشک منو درمیاره بوی ساقه گل لاوندره و گل زنبق و میخکه تو این عطر نه حس چرب کره زنبق هست نه حس ادویه میخک همش گله . قرنفول زیر شاخه گل میخکه این عطر بوی گل قرنفول میده حس ترشی از لیمو و اسپایسی از فلفل و اکورد فلورال از قرنفول و زنبق نیم ساعت از بوی عطر که میگذره ماگوت فاز فلورال موسکی میگیره رز با هنرنمایی بی نقص و بسیار ملایم حس معطر و بالمیه خودش رو در کنار موسک مثل ی لوسیون بدن اعلا روی پوست ایفا می‌کنه . آخ که چقدر این عطر روانی کنندست بوی پوست لیمو شیرین و حس پودری بالمی و گلها ادمو مسخ می‌کنه اگه مثل من از بوی واقع گرایانه گلها لذت ببرید این عطر می‌تونه نقش ی دیازپام رو برای روح و روان آدم بازی کنه . کیفییت و زیبایی این عطر خارق العادست عملکردش روی پوست بشکل عجیبی زیباست انگار پوست ی فرشته رو بو میکنید . ماندرگاریش روی پوست خوبه (3-4 ساعت) ولی پخش بوی این عطر بسیار ناامید کنندست کاملا اسکین سنته از شروع تا پایان ولی هیچی از دلبرانه رایحه کم نمیکنه . من ی دل نه صد دل عاشق این عطر شدم .

Aromatherapy in a bottle. While other fragrances may lift you up or boost your personality, this one calms me down like taking a bubble bath with scented candles. It's not a very complex or challenging perfume and this is why I probably love it so much. Yes, there is lavender and a powdery iris with a hint of cloves and vanilla. Funny, I hate eating anything with cloves, but to this perfume, it adds just the right amount of spiciness. It is more a feminine scent than a masculine one and for me, definitely worthy of a full bottle. Soon my lover, soon....

I have the older version in a green box - bought it on a warm May afternoon in London's Regent Street on our way to an exhibition I was lucky enough to be included in. The perfume was to mark the day and remember it. I bought a white silk scarf the same afternoon, and wore it right away with my navy jacket & trousers. I loved the scent immediately, and each time I wear it, am reminded of that special afternoon/early evening. It's striking, sweet, charming, and warmly aromatic ...probably in that order. To me, it doesn't seem local to one area when wearing it, as it seems to waft around and envelop the wearer I assume this page and the reviews are the newer packaging and formulation (if it's been changed in any way). It would be interesting to hear from anyone that has had both.

This is unusually calming fragrance that soothes all your senses. Sharp at the beginning perhaps due to its combination of bergamot and iris, later becomes completely soft and tender, still emerges that sharpness, but only for a moment because it is incredibly gentle and very feminine fragrance to me. I don' like the scent of iris, but here, fortunately, runs only through the top; Magot becomes attractive and creamy and really acts as aromatherapy, though no doubt the seriousness of a true perfume. Beautiful to wear in winter,reminds me of Ivoire de Balmain, but Ivoire is fresher with some fruit, while Magot blends as if the skin was exposed to the sun. Intriguing fragrance and defintely not an everyday perfume.
