Magie d’ Or

Magie d’ Or is French for “gold magic”.

This exciting parfum conjures up images of sitting in a gold, gilded palace and
drinking golden, exquisite champagne from a crystal goblet.

The neroli and tuberose melt the patchouli and cinnamon bark notes to enhance the patina. Citrus notes add a sparkle like a chandelier throwing light into the mix.

A spicy oriental parfum that has lovely citrus notes to give it lift and sparkle just like fine champagne.

Josephine

A letter to Josephine: Dec. 29, 1795
I awake all filled with you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night, allow my senses no rest. Sweet and matchless Josephine, how strangely you work upon my heart. Are you angry with me? Are you unhappy? Are you upset? My soul is broken with grief and my love for you forbids repose. But how can I rest any more, when I yield to the feeling that masters my inmost self, when I quaff from your lips and from your heart a scorching flame? Yes! One night has taught me how far your portrait falls short of yourself! You start at midday: in three hours I shall see you again. Till then, a thousand kisses, mio dolce amor ! but give me none back for they set my blood on fire. Bonaparte

Notes: Verbena, Lavender vera, Bergamot, Rose, Galbanum and others
