Miracle Forever (2006)
by Lancôme

I really like miracle forever, it smells soft and sensual. It is warm as it dreis down. But when you first apply it its a subdued scent thats has a little kick. I wouldn't say its sweet. I would not buy it again I would test something else, but I wouldn't say its bad.

Very sweet scent. It is an Oriental - Vanilla type of scent
In case your wandering what the notes are, here you go:
- top notes
Star Anise, Black Currant Bud, Peony
- Heart note
Lily-of-the-Valley, Heliotrope, Almond, Mimosa Absolute
- base note
Vanilla, Virginia Cedar, Patchouli, Amber, Frankincense
It is suitable for you if you like the scent of sweet and Lily of the Valley, like in ‘wish’ perfume.
For me I would say its neither good nor bad

I love the powdery and sweet for daytime weare very mutch. I own miracle since years but did not use it mutch, more than 3/4 of the big bottle rests untouched untill today 'cause it's not a scent that amazed me.
NOW miracle forever has all what I like to wear on daytime: sweetnes, powder and a hint of woodiness/oriental touch. and it's longlasting.
it's quite a scent for younger woman but I guess somes like me who are passed over 35 but feeling young in spirit might like this and wearing it very well 'cause it's not a sweet-sparkly and overpowering scent, not as "kitschy" like some of Paris Hiltons or Britney's fragrances. The drydowwn is warm and very sensual woody (even kind of elegant) without loosing a good hint of sweet powder. feel like a golden curly haired princess riding on a white unicorn, raining white and pink flowers on me, a remind of my child-wannabe-day-dreams wearing this :o)

very longlasting scent-whisper all day long.

It's gourmand all right, but fans of Miracle might be disappointed though: it doesn't smell a hell lot like the original. But that's all right. I agree with the comparisons with Allure Sensuelle (sans the elegance Chanel gave AS), but at least for me, MF didn't work on my skin at all.
Too powdery and very sweet, this clinger of a scent lasts for ages and i wasn't sure if i wanted it to last for so long. The fresh opening lasted for me 0.6 seconds and then it was powder and berry milky cream. Didn't like it as much as i thought i would.
I am sure there are big fans of this type of scent, i'm already smelling it everywhere, so it must be doing well.

Tested on paper when passing in front of a department store. It hasn't any similar note with original Miracle, it's a strong fragrance with a good staying power.

Spicy anise notes at the top with some berries, then some flowers appears at middle notes... but ones with a very dense aroma and, according to the salesman who gave me the sprayed paper, a note of almond tree flowers. As base notes: vanilla, cedarwood, ambar and incense. The 3 stages of notes are covered by a gourmand like sensation. It hasn't fresh notes.

Reading past reviews about it, there's a resemblance at base notes with Allure Sensuelle mixed with Angel's caramel. It isn't a daytime or summer fresh fragrance... instead it's very nocturnal (and romantic by the way, due to the gourmand like notes) and more suitable for fall and winter, for office it should be a little disturbing. As I tend to associate fresh notes with younger women, it gives me an idea of a fragrance for 35 or older.

Wow! I tested this scent, came here to basenotes to write a small commentary only to find Cedriceccentric has already got this one covered! Allure Sensuelle ~ with gourmand hinting toward...Angel...don't you think!? The notes are a little blurred for my taste, almost muddy. Eh.
