Miracle Forever

This was so beautiful. They should re-release it as a flanker to La Vie Est Belle, maybe a 'sensuelle' flanker because it is not as crass and is so very seductive...why not? They both share the same blackcurrant + patchouli theme and the noses behind the 2 fragrances are the same. It's more sophisticated, elegant, romantic... and way sexier than LVEB. The patchouli is so gorgeous here, reminiscent of the patch in Angel, earthy and a little dirty but less 'brutal'. Miracle Forever starts out deliciously with spiced blackcurrants drenched in vanilla (similar to Armani Si's blackcurrant liquer opening, but spicier with anise)...then 'prettified' with romantic florals and cozy almonds in the heart. Then imagine all those pretty notes placed against an erotic dark background of smoky incense, rich syrupy vanilla and deep earthy patch. Yummy! It smells like a standard fantasy date night to me. You in your perfect LBD wearing fine lingerie underneath, looking impossibly flawless. Your love is a perfect gentleman, he brings you a bouquet of your favorite flowers, a box of fine candy and greets you with a kiss on the hand. You go wining, dining and dancing. The air is thick with laughter, flirtation and pure happiness. After all that, you go outside and lie together on the grass to gaze at the stars. You share passionate kisses by the moonlight, rolling around on the damp soil together, your expensive dress getting ruined but you're too high on love and lust to notice or care. I really loved this one. A shame that it's discontinued. update: I tried La Nuit Tresor hoping it would smell like MF, but it didn't :( While I liked it, La Tresor Nuit is much more fruity, less spicy/smoky, and the patchouli is less earthy. MF is still the sexier, bewitching one, it's less shrill, and more husky and deep. Ugh...please bring this back.

This was La Vie Est Belle before La Vie Est Belle. I don’t like LVEB, but I loved this one for special nights out. My sister gifted me a bottle when I was in college, and I felt so grown-up and sensuous wearing it. It’s more floral and less screechy-sweet than LVEB. It felt more elegant compared to the current mainstream fruitchollis (most of which I am bored to death of). Sure, this lady is very sweet from the blackcurrant and vanilla (yummy), but it’s also rich, romantic and sensual, it has a mystique to it. And I love my sweeter scents to have a mystical element to them, like Lolita Lempicka for example (no, they don’t smell anything alike, but they both have a sparkling anise and an earthy/herbaceous/powdery element that conjures the feeling of magic and enchantment). I can smell the elegant powderiness of the florals in Miracle Forever, the mischievous sparkle of anise, a subtle sultry smokiness from incense, a rich and earthy patchouli base. It was so feminine...the ad with the bewitching looking woman in an understated but sexy black dress and the full moon behind her actually really matches the scent. When La Nuit Tresor first came out, I had silently hoped that it would smell like Miracle Forever (or better, a rebranded version of it), but nope! La Nuit Tresor, like LVEB, is also too screechy, heavy and sharp for my tastes, too many fruit and sweet notes competing for attention.

(This review is for Eau de Perfume) Alluring, sweet and charming, MIRACLE FOREVER masterfully combines the classical floral fruity genre with the sweet vanilla gourmand notes. The scent is not overloaded with the vanilla sugar like other modern gourmands but rather combines the sweet floral notes of peony, mimosa and heliotrope to compliment the vanilla. The result is a beautiful and delicious floral gourmand. The scent starts with the romantic and sweet scent of peony and blackcurrant berries. The scent becomes sweeter and thicker in the heart notes when the heliotrope and mimosa take the centre stage. The combination is very sweet but beautiful at the same time and reminds me of syrupy and divine flower nectar. The patchouli and vanilla becomes more noticeable in the dry down layered on the woody amber base. The patchouli is not a bully in this fragrance but rather a gallant player that gently provides support to other notes in this fragrance. This lovely done composition is a crowd pleaser. It draws compliments and makes me feel girly, happy and beautiful. The fragrance is similar style as FLOWERBOMB but I do prefer MIRACLE FOREVER for its choice of the floral notes and beautiful balance. It also reminds me a bit of COCO MADEMOISELLE and WISH by Chopard. The sillage is strong. The longevity is over 8 hours. I definitely recommend it.

Mmmm...this stuff is vampy and voluptuous. Elegant, feminine and oh-so-sexy. Makes you feel like you should be strutting your stuff. Warm, smoky, woodsy, sweet and spicy. The dominating notes to my nose are blackcurrant, anise, vanilla, patchouli, incense and powdery florals. Delicious! Very good sillage and longevity. Intense for the first couple of hours, then becomes more subtle. Very different from the original Miracle (which I also like). This one is very sweet and potent, so spray with caution. Perfect to heat things up in winter. It will turn heads for sure. Best restricted for evening use. By the way, I don't know why many are saying it smells like Angel. The only thing this scent has in common with Angel is 'patchouli-dominance', but the patchouli in Miracle Forever is a clean, feminine 'come-hither' patchouli, unlike Angel which to my nose is just a confused, messy one. Still, this is one of those strong and sweet patchouli scents...so if you are a patchouli hater, or if you hate strong sweet scents, you would probably find this overwhelming. I normally don't like patchouli in scents, but I adore this. I still can't wear it too much because it can be headache inducing. Not a scent to buy blind.

This perfume is a darker perfection of the Miracle perfume in both staying power and scent. The first spray of perfume almost blindfolds the wearer with a purple silk ribbon around the eyes and glides away to reveal a sparkling lake in the middle of a moonlit forest after a seasonal shower, leaving the smell of hidden lilly of the valley and darker forest berries hidden. The chill of the fresh air is broken by a faint scent of something smokey, almost like burning amber or a trail of oud somewhere in the trees, making the air slightly warmer. The mixture of vanilla isn’t overwhelming and is matured by the scent of incense in the perfume, though I could swear there is rose somewhere in the perfume. Lasts very long and even the next day can be smelled on the skin and clothes, like a kiss. Simply beautiful! Scent 8/10 Staying power 7/10

Ever since I finished a bottle of this almost ten years ago and missed an opportunity to get another one before it got discontinued I've been looking for an alternative that would be close enough to Miracle Forever. Though there is definitely a similarity to La Vie Est Belle, it was not enough to satisfy my need for Miracle Forever. Today, not even thinking about Miracle Forever, I got myself Angel Muse and was surprised at the similarity of it to my memory of MF (apart from the chocolatey note in Angel Muse). So it was interesting to then come here and see all the reviewers comparing it to the original Angel (which I vaguely remember trying and not being impressed, so cannot compare).

Miracle Forever at first reminded me slightly of Angel (which I love), but after about an hour it changed into a less-sweet (but still VERY sweet) and smokier fragrance, more of what I would call an "adult gourmand". The blackcurrant and muguet add a subtle femininity, and the anise gives an absinthe-like boozy note which is quite appealing and delicious. There is plenty of vanilla but to me it smells more like the "vanilla bourbon", which I prefer to the usual kind. Very long-lasting, the sillage is fairly strong too but not as strong as I expected. You don't need much! I have a small rollerball and I am surprised by how little I have used.

It's December 2024 but here am I reminiscing about my favourite fragrance of all time, Miracle Forever. Sometimes I wonder why on earth did Lancome choose to to discontinue this? I know it has been years, but I can't get over it. La Vie Est Belle could never replace this jewel. Yes, LVEB is a beauty in its own way BUT it's just not hitting the same. NO WAY😂 Petition for Lancome to bring back Miracle Forever! Like pleasee, instead of Lancome continuously releasing La Vie Est Belle flankers, they might as well re-release Miracle Forever. Please, make us Miracle Forever girlies happy once again🥲

Just procured a vintage bottle of this, can't wait to test this one! LVEB + anis could be gorgeous. Hope it's not spoiled 🤞 Miracle Forever is definitely similar to La Vie Est Belle, but I like it more! It's powdery and tart, and it tingles the nose with patchouli. The anise makes it special. Maybe Lancome will come up with a LVEB flanker that features anise or licorice. That would make me very happy!

I love this scent and what it does on my skin. We have perfect chemistry bond as I've never received that much compliment from both genders so far only when I'm wearing it. Complete strangers talk to me and ask the name of my perfume. It doesn't feel heavy although it lasts long. I can go and party all night and I can attend all day meetings,reviews feeling very feminine.

I dont smell incense in it but I can easily smell anise and patchuli. I must say this fragrance surprised me as I do not like the original "Miracle"- it is too flowery for me . But this one is a different story- sweet and refreshing at the same time . I like it a lot and longevity is good, on my skin up to 8 hours x

Had to add----this is Polge and Ropion's first try for what would later become La Vie Est Belle. You can definitely smell the DNA for LVEB in Miracle Forever. For LVEB, they simply decreased the floral notes and put more emphasis on the gourmand quality with greater focus on patch and the sweetness.

I prefer this one to the original because it's "darker" and sexier than the original. Don't get me wrong, the original Miracle is nice too, but the wood notes are so beautifully intertwined with the florals in this one, making it a superb scent for date nights.

Love this perfume. It gives you a very luxurious feel and is one of the perfumes which smells expensive. Whether it is just sprayed or has been on for ages the smell is subtle class! I get loads of compliments when I wear this that I have lost count.

I just want it back..i have saved it soooo long, i saved it only for special occassions, I got it from my son when he saved his money from his birthday to buy his mama for her birthday, will never throw away the bottle, it's soo special for me!

Picked this up because of my interest in Insense/Patchouli fragrances, the opening is really nice, very fruity, get lovely dark berries. Neat, warm and woody drydown, get a real sense of the incense. Nice, shame it's deleted.

This is freaking wonderful! I love this fragrance. Unfortunately, apparently it's been discontinued? I bought another 2 bottles when i heard it and as soon as my local stores ran out of stock!

I really love this perfume! It's warm and sensual en very sexy, the star anise is wonderful! It's a really unexpected note, but smells absolutely wonderful on my skin :D

I like this scent for nights out or nights in snuggling watching a movie at home, and i wear this sometimes when its snowy outside, i really enjoy this one!!!!

This is a warm, sweet, elegant, classy scent. One of my favourites. How can anyone compare Miracle Forever to Angel is beyond me.

Miracle Forever was one of my all time favorite scents! We should make a petition online for Lancome to bring it back!

There's a strong resemblance to Angel eau croisiere

For me,miracle forever is not a gourmand As always,my skin amplifies patch,so it's kind of sharp...it opens with lots of black current,florals,star anise and of course patchouli But it dries down to a lovely vanilla,patchouli,black current combo and I think star anise and almond make it this much tasty,charming and unique..florals become very faint and vanilla rounds fruitchouli sharpness..I really like it For me,miracle forever is not that sweet,indeed it's kind of bitter-sweet..it's powerful,elegant and sensual I can't see similarities between this and miracle but I like both of them Can't get why lancome has discontinued such a great fragrance?!!this one,miracle so magic and lancome connexion are all fragrances I regret their absence in perfume world ❤❤❤❤ لانکوم میراکل بدون کوچکترین شباهتی به میراکل، عطر جذاب و قوی هست میراکل فور اور برای من نه گورماند هست و نه زیادی شیرین،البته شیرین هست اما رگه هایی از تلخی و همچنین اسپایس داره که مانع از این میشه که یه سوپرسوییت خوشمزه بشه مطابق معمول،پوست من،پچولی رو بزرگنمایی میکنه،و اینجا هم جزو نت های غالب هست شروع میراکل فور اور با مقادیر زیادی انگورسیاه، پچولی، ادویه بادیان ختایی و ترکیبی از روایح گلی با محوری صدتومانی همراه هست در نتیجه شروع عطر تیزی خاص چایپرهای فروتچولی محور رو داره اما با گذر زمان،وانیل به زیبایی تیزی های عطر رو دربرمیگیره و تندی اون رو مهار میکنه و حاصل کار یه فروتچولی وانیلی اسپایسی بسیار جذاب و شیک خواهد بود که بشخصه بسیار دوسش دارم ماندگاری و پخش خیلی خوبی داره و در هوای گرم اصلا خودش رو خوب نشون نمیده این عطر رو به تمام کسانی ک دنبال یه گورماند و یا فروتچولی بالغ و سکسی و مدرن هستن توصیه میکنم باتوجه به اینکه این عطر دوست داشتنی مثل خیلی دیگه از خوب های لانکوم،،میراکل سو مجیک،،کونکشن و... دیسکانتینیو شده توصیه میکنم اگه جایی دیدید سریع بخریدش

it was a perfume that i bought in the plane in the air duty free; because i could not try it before i was telling myself "you should be in one of your lucky days otherwise you are screwed"... i badly needed a perfume at that moment cause i had none with me and i hade left only the option to get any perfume available they have on that flight... i opened it and i was afraid to find it far from my expectations or far from my style... i sprayed some in the air so that it would not stuck on my skin in case i don't like it and buy another one when we land... when i smelled it... i was like "thank you my God" ... i sprayed it all over me with too much confidence and slept the rest of the flight so happy and impatient to reach the destination... i loved it and i still love it but unfortunately i no longer can find it... it is a wonderful combination between sweet and spicy notes, it remains warm and sweet really for a long time and you can smell it there after days in your clothes

After acquiring a pre-loved bottle of this from a well-known auction site and testing it a few times, I'm struggling to see what the fuss is about. I like Miracle Forever, but it smells very similar to patchouli-dominant scents that have already been referred to by previous reviewers. The plus points are that Miracle Forever isn't as nauseatingly sweet and headache inducing as Angel, it has the longevity of Coco Mademoiselle and there is a boozy, spicy kick at the beginning which is reminiscent of YSL Elle. It's suitable for colder evenings when you want to wear something warm and dramatic. However, that said, this doesn't beat my favourite patchouli, which is Allure Sensuelle, in terms of quality and I wouldn't go out of my way to look for this if you own and like any of the scents I just mentioned. Turin and Sanchez referred to this as a "best in show" - I now realise that this was very much a backhanded compliment!

I'm wearing it and don't like it. It doesn't give me a real pleasure, just smelling nice for perfume's sake. I didn't notice the resemblance with Angel but it might be, even if this one is much more wearable and not toxic-cloying as Angel. I can't smell anything listed, only a bunch of mixed flowers with spicy undertones, some peony, no aniseed, no incense. I can understand how this could be a compliment-magnet because it just smells good and familiar like typical girlish, but not teeny scent. I used to wear regular Miracle then I got tired of it. This Miracle Forever is different, deeper and warmer, suitable for colder months and probably also office in small doses. edit: after about 4 hours the drydowm smells much better and multi-layered

What a spectacular gourmand! Nothing you could expect, so much better than the image I created in my mind reading the reviews. It's really sofisticated and multifaceted, you can really feel many layers showing up one after the other: the juicy black currant opening, the warm incense, the soft vanilla drydown... Fortunately the patchouli note is not so dominant to me and I can enjoy it fully and wear it more easily (although I think this is suitable only for evening/night and winter use). It's really a delicious and elegant, not girly gourmand fragrance!

Miracle forever has this amazing scent of berries and vanilla. Very elegant and sensual scent and it has a quite light yet a warm feel to it. This is also the perfume that made people stop and wonder what kind of perfume I was wearing. I have never received that much compliments when I am wearing perfume except for this one. Even though it's not a personal favorite I do think it deserves its praise for being such a likable and sophisticated scent.

Miracle Forever... Very nice fragrance. It's pretty balanced bitter, sweet, fresh (just a little) and seems quite strong. It has something to stand out. Something spicy is out there too. I'm pretty sure it has something from Miracle, but I don't think so, because of difference of notes. Very elegant, not so easy forgettable.

I can't understand how someone can wear it in summer? For me it's next ordinary over sweet gourmand scent , and you can find very cheap perfumes smelling the same way. Staying power not too good. I love Miracle , but not Forever version. Why people have to do other versions if the first one is perfect?

Wow I didnt knew how good this one was..I tried it today and was surpriced.It smells a lot like Angel which i love,but sometimes it gets to much.This one is softer and smells more like the drydown of Angel.Highly recommended,especially for lovers of scents like Angel,Wish Chopard,Lancome Hypnose..etc

Very sexy and elegant, SUPER unfortunate that she's discontinued, though, because I love wearing her on my date-nights! You can find this for not too much online so I recommend her if you're interested in a mature floral with hints of sweetness!

As the original Miracle is a lovely daytime scent, this one is perfect for party nights. It's mysterious and interesting. Anise, patchouli, vanilla and incense go really well together. Amazing scent, a great love potion.

Someone gave me a miniature of this, and I just spilled some on my fingers trying to open it. It's soo delicious, can't wait to wear it for real and see if it works for me!

This has been my go to night parfum for the past two years. It is very warm, woody and yet very sweet. And men seem to love it, I get compliments on it all the time.

I'm not seeing the love here. Must not be my kinda scent. I'm thinking it's either the lily of the valley, or the anise that I'm not really thrilled with. Oh well.

I like this one a lot. the fragrance does not smell like the original mircle. it's sweet but not heavy, very warm and i would even say rich fragrance.

my sister has it, and it smells wonderful. i mean, it's extremely sexy (in my opinion). anise is just properly balanced to the other components.

Not a dupe at all, but Lanvin Eclat de Nuit has a similar black currant gourmand vibe. Eclat being fresher less vanillyish though. I own both.

Nice winter fragrance...is sweet,warm and fresh at the same time and is long lasting,but if you smell it on hot days,it seems quite strong...

I am reducing my collection and have a bottle for sale. I am in Australia. Please PM me if you are interested.

Warm and pleasantly sweet - the perfect choice for colder days. A sensual and extremely feminine fragrance!

like it a lot not too strong and powdery very pleasant, bit woody

I like this one. Sweet, woody, sexy.

miracle forever the best scent ever!

This was the first perfume I ever owned back to 09, I found it on sale online, and the reason I bought it was because I loved the colour of the bottle (Yes, I had absolutely no idea about perfume what so ever, and no idea what I was buying either), and I liked the original version. Unsurprisingly, I didn't like it at all. It was way too sweet and vanilla for my taste. I did try to wear it, but it was indeed way too strong for Queensland's hot climate. Now I think back it would make a great fall/winter perfume. Think back although it wasn't the right one for me, it wasn't bad. It's a lot better than LVEB. It's kind similar to Miss Dior Le Parfum, except Le Parfum is not sweet at all (which is why I love it). Yes, it was also very long lasting. I remember it lasted weeks on my coat. Sold it on eBay last year. It's a lesson learnt - never, ever buy perfume before testing, no matter how cheap it can be. It's a waste of money most of the time.

Miracle is youthful, bright and feminine, light and yet noticeable. Miracle Forever is that opposit, has some heavy note like Noa Perle, suffocating. In the beginning I liked it, somehow I can't figure that this is really one of Lancome, as if someone threw heavy notes it would be more convincing. Perhaps even more frivolous, but still has the strength of Kenzo, one of those. Definitely not for me, I have recently tried.

I bought this on a whim at a discount perfume place. At first, I was afraid I had bought another sweet syrupy nightmare, but I held on for the ride. I had gone down the wrong path with other "over-ripe syrupy fruit baskets", and I was prepared for the worst. Then I caught a glimpse of how lovely this scent is. Well, not really a glimpse, more of a foghorn to the effect of "Here I am, and I'm lovely! Take a bite!!!!!". I had a love/hate relationship with her sister Tresor too, and to be honest I'm still not sure where our bond lies (though I can't seem to part with my 3.4oz mostly unused bottle of Tresor). With Miracle Forever, my feelings have grown over time. To be honest, it's mostly due to the compliments I receive when I wear it. A little goes a long way, and too much can start to become overwhelming. Imagine pouring liquid gold into a swimming pool. Then you dive straight into the deep end, only to find that you are drowning in an overdose of Heaven. Miracle Forever is a mixture of hot steamy love, and the nectar of the Gods. It is liquid Heaven. Just keep in mind that the Gods warned us. Too much love can smother someone to death. Too much of Miracle Forever can do the same. I love it for all the same reasons I don't. (A better name for this fragrance would be Forbidden Fruit, because I imagine this was what Eve was wearing when she got Adam to take that fateful bite). It's too much of a good thing, now where do I get another bottle?!!!

Miracle Forever is a confusing fragrance. On the one hand, the richness of this perfume is something to be cherished because so many fragrances now are so vapid and thin. On the other hand, Miracle Forever has a tendency to be extremely heavy to the point of being like an albatross hanging around you all day long and that's frustrating because this has the potential to be such a beautiful and unique fragrance. The head notes are quite delicious, the black currant and the star anise taking center stage. At this point, there is really very little peony appearing. This stage of the fragrance lasts for about 30 minutes, which is awesome. The heart notes are also quite lovely with the almond blossom,mimose, and heliotrope blending seamlessly with the lingering anise. At this point, Miracle Forever is still a wonderful fragrance. The problems begin on the drydown. Unfortunately, the patchouli mingled with the florals, vanilla, and incense make Miracle Forever almost unbearable. It takes on a rather unpleasant body odor-ish note that is such a bad way to end a fragrance that held so much promise. On the whole, if you enjoy patchouli and incense, this could work for you. Miracle Forever is definitely a dead-of-winter fragrance. It would be too heavy at any other time in the year. I have to rate Miracle Forever 5 out of 10.

Miracle Forever is to me a lighter and more floral version of Innocent by Thierry Mugler. The scent is indeed very sweet. It would appeal to those that love their sugary-sweet gourmands. The opening of blackcurrant, peony and star anise is a little too strong, however very pleasant. As the scent wears on, it gradually becomes lighter and more feminine with the introduction of soft florals like mimose, almond blossom, heliotrope and lily-of-the-valley. The drydown is what bears a striking resemblance to Thierry Mugler's creations. The vanilla, patchouli, amber and incense, together with a hidden chocolatey accord, is very much like the famous gourmand, Angel. A little off-putting to think of Miracle Forever as a blatant copy. The lasting strength was pretty good, well over six hours, yet the sillage was rather weak. However this fragrance may be a wonderful, cheaper alternative to Innocent and Angel and even more appealing to those that wanted something lighter than the two fragrances aforementioned.
