I love this! This is beautiful! Lancôme is such a great perfume house. Their perfumes last. This is perfect for spring and summer. It’s feminine floral and slightly sweet and I love the pink liquid. It’s so pretty. I get mine on Fragrancenet. Much better prices.

Hifza

It could be added to the girls parties' giveaways as it is a purely girl and feminine scent. I like this scent, it's romantic too but the main issue is it's more of a body spray, mist or deodorant kind, it's not a perfume or a luxury. It's completely my kind but want which should be rich in fragrance or I would buy a mist.

icerise

It smells incredible at first blast and pleasant during dry down, but it overall is a shampoo type of perfume. It reminds me of Chance Eau Tendre EDP, except this is more floral and aquatic while Chance Eau Tendre EDP is more on the citrusy side. Seems like a safe blind buy and will be generally liked, but I wonder if it’s outdated or generic. It’s not an outstanding scent to my nose, but I have to test and see how people like it on me. Regardless, I can’t stop sniffing my wrist. Even if it were a generic smell, it’s still addictive.

frangiris

It is okay. Smells like pink Nivea or dove cream. Dry, crisp, floral. Nice enough, but I would not pay money to smell like a drugstore hand cream.

aprilsantiano

I always have a bottle of Miracle by my vanity. This has been an OG for a reason - it's clean, classy and fits any occasion. I miss the old school mainstream feminine scents of the 90's and early 2000's. A perfume then smells like a perfume. Unlike, the newer trends of today which can be very masculine, unisex or heavy vanilla/gourmand scented fragrances.

This is a LOVE!

frangiris

Nice dry, soapy, clean floral. It smells like a floral handsoap. Not creamy at all. Very nice but maybe this scent profile is too closely associated with hand soap.

MildÈdes

For me is this a very mature and feminine perfume. This isn’t very unique or strong, but it’s soapy, clean, vivid and spicy yet sweet. It’s got that breezy cold herbal feel to it. It’s lovely!!!

goldiloks

I bought Superdrug's Artiscent Atelier 'Vanille Blush' as I'd heard it was a nice cheap dupe of Dior's Forever & Ever (which I've not tried), but all I can smell is Miracle. Not as fresh or refined, but if you're after something similar you can just throw in your bag to freshen up with in the spring/summer months, it's not at bad for a tenner!

Venussweden

A soapy, fresh, fun, happy scent… for women who likes schampoo-soapy scents with a twist (spices)…

Jordan 99

I had only small mini, I would never understand why I wasn’t in to it, I love all notes and pink fruity florals are my thing, but this was just meh…. not fresh, bit too spicy….. just not typical fresh fruity floral. I guess ginger is risky for me. I love litchi in perfumes, but in this case I didn’t get any on my skin. It’s just ok, I guess it depends on skin chemistry.

rosemiragenights

I thrifted a bottle of this. It’s the generic feminine scent. Floral and a little citrusy. Deodorant-core.

violeteme

Very fresh, deodorant type, pink, vastly citrusy floral.

Extraterrestial Pe.

this perfume is not what it used to be when it came out. it was a beast in a good way back in 2000. everything a beautiful women would wear.

vanillaflower77

Super cute, fresh and clean, pinkish Barbie smell.

Luilind

Soapy, screechy citrus. There’s some florals but it’s mainly citrus. Very fresh. Like a citrus deodorant.
Might work for sports.

Eluy

Very bad impression, disappointed with the quality. I bought it without smelling it and it was a total failure. I wasted it without knowing what it smelled like. I expected more from Lancome

fuzzyduckling

i read like every review on here and decided i had to blind buy bc it seemed like everything i would want in a spring fragrance….yeah no
its initially very sour smells almost like washing up liquid. i expected the orange note to be well orangey but it’s actually very lemony and not good lemon like extremely synthetic sour lemon.
once it dries down though it goes powdery and soft but also non existent which is a shame bc i don’t hate the smell after the dry down though it does give me slight granny vibes but like the kind of granny that does gardening,drinks fruit tea in her conservatory during the summer and has one of those white dogs
initial spray: 2/5
dry down:3/5
bottle:5/5 simple and cute
overall rating 2.5/5 i would never buy again

UPDATE: i hate this fume

nonelle

I love white flowers and pepper, so based on the notes I thought that I would like this. I got a bottle as a gift and wore it a couple of times at home. My partner liked it and described it clean, fresh and feminine scent. I think this is soapy and clean, which reminds me of the scent of generically scented body wash in a giant soap dispenser in a three-star hotel. That's not a vibe I'm looking for in fragrances, so it's a pass for me. But if you are looking for a soapy, fresh and light floral scent, this might be for you.

Elisjah

Sweet, soft-flowered, fresh light is my first impression, but it's not just that. Spicy and pepper also added, as in ginger tea, which makes it interesting! The heart is less floral and more spicy mixed with a very nice soft soap. Then more creamy and softer, also warmer, it's special that the scent really develops. I think it gives a wonderfully clean fresh feeling, especially on a hot summer day. Also suitable for a wedding, not at all intrusive, but also not boring and too recognizable. Really a fragrance for when you don't want to wear a scent, but still want to smell special.

jadepo21

This is a scent that, for me, gets better with the dry down. Straight out of the bottle, it's a floral/spice bomb that instantly makes me feel a little suffocated. As it wears down, though, it turns into a soapy clean scent that smells like expensive body wash or shampoo. It's neither ground breaking nor offensive. Just clean, pretty, and classy.

nicolespeedyfast

“Mainstream” feminine perfumes have historically left me disappointed in their synthetic florals, cloying sweetness, or just basic formulations. If it smells too similar to a fragrance strip between the pages of Elle magazine, there’s a good chance I’m not a fan.
“Miracle” has broken a long streak of established fragrance houses letting me down with their feminine perfumes. I got a discovery set for Christmas which hasn’t wowed me, but this stands out. I really can’t get enough. Very light floral with a fresh, clean base and a little bit of tropical fruit. I struggle to get behind explicitly feminine fragrances but this is a girly perfume done right. I’ll be reaching for this in the spring and likely purchasing a large decant once my mini size is finished.
More than anything I wish they’d re-release the shower gel formulation. I’m also really interested in a more elevated flanker, but the Intense seems hard to come by. For an EDP, I find that I need to be more liberal with application to get full enjoyment out of this. That being said, there’s always a time and place for subtle sillage.

AlliCat1215

This was one of my first “real” perfumes. It’s a nice fresh uplifting scent and it’s still good today.

8bunk

Fresh floral n hints of lychee. Wasn't bad but it ain't for me.

aesthetic_k

Another fragrance destroyed by reformulation, my mom has a mini bottle from the 2000s when miracle was first released and it was lovely; very sparkling, energetic, joyful and miraculously positive like its name 💗 The litchi and pepper combination with florals were so perfectly blended and worked together extremely well 🫶 Currently it has become screechy and cloying. Litchi and pepper are now very sharp to the point they are overwhelming and there is a lot of wrong mixture between notes that makes it unpleasant 💔 Knowing this has surely been reformulated is disappointing, so it is why miracle changes from a “love” to an “ok” for me

Ms_C

Wow this smells really bright, sparkly and lively. It really boosts up my mood. Mostly i cant get along with citrusy scent well, but this one is pretty amazing. It suits me just fine. It does smells soapy, but not that usual cheap soap and boring one.

olik

This perfume is very very fresh and alive, I keep it at work and spray it on me to pick me up when it gets so stressful and crazy....its like aroma therapy... overall, this perfume is ok, nothing to get orgasmic about, very modest sillage and projection, does not last long, but its a brain pleaser for me.

Courtney2090

I like it. Very fresh and floral. Perfect for springtime. It smells a bit soapy to me.

Alces Alces

Smells like the early 2000s and shampoo. It's time for the styles of the late nineties and early 2000s to come back. Maybe they already have and I wasn't paying attention since I am oblivious. I worked for a software company from the mid nineties to early 2000s and this particular smell makes me remember all the tedious conversions of date fields to four characters and the fear that on January 1, 2000 computers would all shut down. It was a thing. I didn't wear this back then; I wore Amarige, Contradiction, lots of other fragrances. But the smell of Miracle must have been in the air. So different from what most people wear that it feels new in a weird way.

plushbby

I thought I would love this scent (because of its pyramid), but it's so bland and boring... maybe that's just not my cup of tea but the sillage and longevity were also disappointing :(

blambodee

It can smell overly sweet at first spray but immediately gets better. It has a fresh, sweet citrusy top note but gets deeper after a while. Feels very sporty feminine. Stay on your skin and clothes well and the sillage is good. Stay for a decent amount of time though.

Linda_80

Absolutely SEXY !!
My husband LooVES it!😍

Hesssa21

I received this perfume as a gift a couple of years ago. It's a very fresh and uplifting fragrance. The notes that I smell the most straight away is the mandarin orange and lychee. Then, the magnolia and amber start to come in along with light touches of jasmine and musk. It's not something I'd usually wear but it's nice to wear at home or to spray before you go to bed.

anetbok

This was my first perfume, gifted to me when I was still a teen. I think it holds up great. I don’t care if they say it’s basic or childish, for me it’s a very soft, soothing fragrance which smells like the early spring. It also performs a lot better than many of the new and hyped fragrances.

Stampinator

I love this, it reminds me of the early 2000s designer perfumes and shares a similar DNA to perfumes like Lancome Miracle. This is clean and fresh and would smell attractive on anyone. It is not groundbreaking but has subtle nuances to it that set it apart from the others. The rice and bamboo note. It is delightful, understated and doesn't smell complicated however, it teeters on the edge of generic but is still a lovely enticing scent. I can't imagine anyone feeling sick or repulsed by this. The scent trail is just enough. It is a beautifully blended fragrance.

nrobinson2152

It just gives me bar soap vibes. Dove soap on paper, Irish Springs on skin. Very harsh, maybe its just my chemistry but I hate this.

wish.1

Back than when I was a teenager, my friend's got it, and I wanted as well. Twenty years ago there were quite a few choice to get a perfume. Then I bought it too, but this was just ok, not a love. A few years ago I find a great dupe called Yodeyma-Nota. My gosh, it's better than the original, i love it!

[email protected]

I adored this fragrance, in my circle no one wore this and I would get a lot of compliments. The last time bought a 100ml bottle in 2018 and after went on a hunt for new fragrances. Recently(2023) saw it at a discount and bought a 30ml bottle. I am happy that I bought a small bottle, It is nothing like what I remember, fruity notes are barely there. Instead, you smell this chemical/ baby powder when you spray it and after a while, it is the only thing that you can smell. It does not last like it used to last on my skin. Very disappointed. It used to remind me of spring with the most elegant peony note. Such a shame.

GUADELUPA

It's very beautiful feminine fragrance. It starts with pepper and ends with tender citrus notes. I can smell the most beautiful lychee in the perfumery. Longevity and sillage is moderate, I have to apply this throughout the day. But at the same time it is very gentle and soft. It's a real miracle, considering how it transforms from hot pepper to soft citrus and lychee, as if pepper never existed. Usually citrus notes are bitter on me, but lychee makes this miracle, citrus notes are sweety here. Delicate spicy-citrus scent, beautiful and really wonderful!

_NicoleNonya

Initial blast, the orange and ginger are singing the salsa. I get a nice blast of the nectar from the jasmine, magnolia is toned down with the pepper. Move around a bit and it's a beauty spicey freshy.
Miracle is great for hot and humid Florida. Record breaking temps, it's an instant mood booster.
The atomizer gives nice smooth sprays.
The dry down is nice, the jasmine isn't indole what so ever.
This is a safe scent for when one wants to blend in feeling fresh and clean. As a sucker for freshies, Miracle surprised me.
Silage, 8 sprays = arms length, longevity, 4 hours w/ silage, 8 skin scent.
To me, this is youthful, a great scent for a teen.

la.femme.scent

I'm surprised there isn't a peony floral note in this fragrance. I don't really get fruit, pepper, ginger or citrus. Just a whole lot of fresh florals and an intoxicating amber and white musk base. It's really pretty and smells like luxurious shampoo from the early 2000's. I love it and it's perfect in the warm weather but it doesn't perform well in cool weather.

Edit: the pepper and citrus just kicked in once my body warmed up

narcissisticlau

my boyfriend got me a small bottle of this perfume on his flight to germany. at first i didn’t really like it because it gave me this strong flowery scent and im not really a fan of that type of perfume, but i decided to give it a chance lately and now im in love with it. the dry down is so classy and clean and it still has that flower scent but its not as strong as the first spray.
now i wear it everyday and it has become my summer scent.

KylieBooFace

I overlooked Miracle in the past because I thought it was older than it was. I tried it on a paper strip and thought it was a slightly sweet zesty floral that can work well for summer. Not too peppery at all. On my skin it was nice but there started to be a mature stinky type of floral. But, after I scraped the remainder of it off, it has dried down to a smooth-spicy, sweet, floral composition that is quite lovely. The sweetness is almost a tinge gourmand like LVEB. I have to see if I can grab a reasonable price for it and try again. It's definitely different to me, compared to say Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet by Dior; which is lovely but definitely airier and more updated.

Sexbox1814

I love this nostalgic millennial gem it’s basically what most cosmetic or fragrance halls smelt like from the early 00s if your obsessed with that style then wear this it’s actually what every Lancôme counter smelt like until La vie Le belle came along I know because I worked there..I love it but it’s too light it needs to be stronger for me but the funny thing is it’s actually eternal it will last ages. You can’t really go wrong with it

ivorianangel

i found a cheapy recently while antiquing and fell in love! and its my 3rd lancome im definitely a fan now

Veroni4ka

My number one parfum for almost 20 years. It's just a miracle! Nothing else is like this one.

straightupfragman

Firstly, I am not here to talk about the notes but just to give my pure, raw opinion of how this juice sits with me.
Okay, so I'm a dude and my review will be based purely on how I see it as a by-stander ... this fragrance in my opinion is one of the best female designer fragrances I have smelt. It's one of my wife's favourite and rightfully so. She has bought, if not exaggerating, 10 or more bottles of this on repeat. While she has other great female and unisex designer and niche fragrances, Miracle Lancome always has that favourite spot in her collection and dare I say in my heart as well.

Now lets talk about compliment factor. My wife gets compliments (unsolicited) a lot with this, but can be seasonal. Her colleagues at work, attendants at the grocery store till, customers standing by in the queue, at events, etc.

There's this nice floral vibe to it in a way that's subtle and refined at the same time. It projects such a warm and delicate vibe. And boy does it last long and leave a commendable scent trail - in fact, it is beastly on scent trail. My woman leaves the house in the morning for work, and literally everywhere she's been has a trail for a while. The trail scenario kinda reminds me a bit of those nasty ol' billy goats prancing on the fields dropping poo pellets as they move along. okay that was probably the grossest analogy I have ever concocted but hey, you get the gist.

Lancome, hats off!! For me, as a dude, I find Miracle unapologetically enthralling and pleasurable. It's definitely got that gorgeous scent DNA that I like in ladies frags. Makes me want to just shield and protect them from every harm.

My 2 cents - I'm out!

msquito

I am not for fresh or florals, but this is another story. Unexpectedly beautiful. I was looking for a summer fragrance and this does the job. As light as it needs to be for summer and as spicy it needs to be, so that it is not too light or blunt, but have an attractive edge. I really like it!

Frogopolis

There was SO much ad hype about this scent in the year 2000– Uma Thurman in a starched white shirt, facing a radiant dawn. The ads were a clear riff on those for EL Pleasures (1995), which broadcast a similar wholesome, clean energy.

Of the two, I prefer Miracle. It’s much less sharp and soapy, with a softer and more balanced feel. But it’s still a time capsule, in a way. Soooo many “radiant pink florals” came out in the early ‘00s. Clean beyond belief.

Miracle kinda smells generic now, since this style of perfume has been done to death. Regardless, I like it and wear it. The ginger and pepper notes are refreshing, and to me this scent is the best of its genre. Sometimes ya just gotta ‘00.

b@by

My nose gets a high end shampoo fragrance.

elenian

Miracle is a beautiful scent. At first spray I get the pepper and ginger with the flowers and I am not a fan. But I love the dry down, it turns to a beautiful musky floral scent. The downsize is the lasting power. I can hardly smell it after an hour. I prefer it in spring.

Smelling_pretty

I blind bought this after reading all the notes thinking I would love it. From the first spray I got an instant headache and just couldn’t wear it. I tried two more times on different days and ended up giving the bottle away. I love perfume and own many, but this one just didn’t work for me 😔

Tony Shades

Very cute but grownup bright pink floral fruity fragrance, quite adorable I must say. The floral musky accord is very powdery and people who love or hate such accords need to know this important detail.

WhiteFlowerPrincess

I'm not a big fan of litchi, freesia, magnolia, pepper and amber and all of these notes are in this fragrance. It's a bit too much of a mix of everything as well and I think it has a bland and Duty Free like smell. It does have fair projection though and lasts well on the skin. I also like the jasmine note and the musk note.

This is how this perfume should be composed instead notes-wise:

Top notes are Melati and lily of the valley; middle notes are Lotus, Mandarin Orange and Jasmine; base notes are Jasmine and musk.

This would smell so much better and more unique, lasting more on the skin and being more white floral but in a fresh and aquatic way.

What do you guys think?

clairescentience

Update: I tried on skin (my review was on a paper tester) and, sadly, it doesn't work on my skin chemistry. This scent smells ethereal on cooler weather and non-acidic skin, but on my skin it smells extremely sweet. I was shocked at that. It's a lot sweeter than it lets on! I recommend this on clothes rather than on skin. Doesn't react to heat very well can smell very sticky-sweet.

Probably one of the safest scents you could buy. It's inoffensive yet fresh and floral. It comes across almost like a cologne but has that Lancome sophistication. While I'm not crazy about this, I'm not mad at it. It's agreeable. Simple. Refreshing. It's a nice perfume to wear when you want a rest from heavier scents as you'll smell very fresh. Won't blow your mind, but you will find yourself reaching for this when you're not feeling any strong draw towards anything and just want to exist.

Hannehoney

This was my favorite perfume 20 years ago and now its back in my collection :) This is a really nice fruityfloral with a fresh spicy kick to it. Its perfect for spring and summer and it leaves a beautiful trail :) Not many people talk about this scent, in my opinion this one is much better than LVEB and Mon Paris, they are too patchouli heavy. This one I love :)

saho93

Not sure why, but I get a bit of Estée Lauder’s Pleasures Intense vibe, though the pepper and ginger make Miracle more distinct.
I am not sure I get that much lychee.

I like it, though I prefer Pleasures Intense. It’s lovely enough.

CorryJoe

I grabbed a 30ml if Miracle from CVS for $30 with a coupon. The scent itself is a pretty feminine floral with the tiniest bit of bite or sharpness from the Ginger. Otherwise it’s a floral perfectly blended with the juiciness of Lychee. It’s pretty enough and I can’t really think of anything to compare it to - yet it still just feels like an unremarkable floral. One that will bring you compliments in the way that a flower arrangement gets compliments —mmm smells pretty — but you’re not turning heads.

To me Idole or Si Passione are the more modern day expressions of this fragrance in my opinion, though they aren’t dupes. Nothing that I’ve smelled quite dupes that airy, sweet quality that this fragrance has. It’s both remarkable and unremarkable at the same time - some might say it’s a miracle 😂. Lasts about 4 hours on my skin.

spitfyre27

This was the first perfume I bought when I used to just use cheapies from Victoria's secret as a teen or when I was at university so I didn't really know what I really liked back then. I smelled it on Vogue magazine (do they still have perfume samplers there?) and found it nice enough. It is your run-of-the-mill floral fresh scent, non-offensive and safe to wear in an office. It's very basic and mild, but that's why I bought it. It is pleasant enough to cheer me up when I catch whiffs or it. Nothing much when it comes to sillage or longevity. I've had to respray in the afternoon in order to smell it again. All in all, I like this scent and I'd wear it when I didn't know what to wear, but that's about it. I probably wouldn't buy it again.

ieemelon

I'm not sure if it was because of my body chemistry, but from the first spray onwards it just smelled like cheap, harsh soap or air freshener. I was so sure that I'd like it, based off of the notes, but somehow I just can't stand it. It gave me a mild headache and stung my nose.

The dry down was a bit better, from afar it has a pleasant flowery scent, but up close it still smells harsh. I don't think I will be buying a bottle.

oenomel

Smells clean and pretty, without being too citrusy or plain. I'm not a fan of fresh aquatic fragrance and this escapes that category by a hair's breadth by the woodsiness and florals.

gretta

On my way home from work, I stopped at Macy's (Sephora does not carry Estee Lauder nor Lancome) and i just wanted to smell something generic and kind of mass appealing. Anyway nothing at EL was decent (even though I've liked some Aerin's lately) so I tried a fragrance called Miracle at the Lancome counter. On the card it smelled fresh and floral and not too sweet. The sales associate said Miracle is good for summer because it smells like you just stepped out of a bubble bath on a hot day and she encouraged me to spray it somewhere on my skin, which i did. On the way home I kept smelling the card and my hand, getting the floral and the slight spice, but remembering how much I want an Ex Nihilo so whatevs, save your money. Anyway, long story short, 4 hours later, after going out to dinner and washing my hands several times, I happened to smell the back of my hand and holy wow, Miracle is somehow still there. And i am an EFFICIENT hand washer, people. I am very impressed by the persistence of this fragrance, which is very important to me in a fragrance. Anyway, I am dumbfounded by the longevity of this crowd pleaser, and even though I do a lot of niche and do want an Ex Nihilo, I may be picking a bottle of this up for after the pool or something this summer.

Edit 2/18/23: bought it, wore it twice, returned it. Look, it's pretty. But kind of boring.

Morgan45

I tried this on last night and was immediately driven crazy by what is smelled like....it smelled very lemon-zesty on me and I finally realized that it reminded me of Jean Naté Body Splash. Mind you I haven't smelled that in years, but it really brought me back. It's not a bad scent, but it's not for me.

lemmenkukka

My best friend for over 45 years has worn this since it came to market. I have been owning this scent for over 20 years and like it a lot. There are situations when I can't decide what would be the scent of the day and under these situations I have three choices : Miracle, Laura or Champs Elysees and most often I choose Miracle. It's a safe choice, subtle, friendly, feminine and girlish. I do hope that Lancome would never discontinue this. The bodylotion and shower gel from this line are also very succesful.

An iconic huge bouquet of flowers! Perfect intense floral for a spring day. This is very feminine. If you could smell colors, this would be pink. It makes me think of Easter, wearing chiffon dresses to church. You know how after a late spring rain, the sun comes out and the flowers smell extra beautiful? That's the feeling you get from a few drops of Miracle.

Red Jaguar

One of my all time favorites, this was my signature scent in my early to mid 20s. Its sillage is the type to float lightly behind you, the type that is discovered and not announced. Garners compliments. It is quite long lasting for a fresh floral. It's so light and pretty yet, it has teeth with the pepper and ginger. Truly a special scent to me.

s2jkbrad

I got a nearly full bottle at the thrift store for $6. I wouldn't buy it full price because it's nothing that special, but it smells good. It's like a flower, incense,dry smell for the person who doesn't want to stand out. It evolves well, staying power is moderate, white flowers and musk, come through. The freesia is nice, the litchi is no better than when Britney Spears uses it, in a much cheaper perfume. The pepper is practically non-existent, compared to what later perfumes bring. Overall, very nice, too bland for me. Totally worth $6!! Good blind buy and glad to have it in my collection!

AttePatte

Blind bought this bcs in theory I should love this perfume based on the fruity/floral scents.
BUT I can't stand it... it's so sad cuz I can smell a very beautiful scent in the background, but what cuts it from me is the pepper/spices. It's too spicy. Gives me serious headaches and stings my nose..
Def try before you buy this one. Not a crowd pleaser even if you believe it is.

sravz

Amazing and outstanding. It just has that perfume smell which you are looking for at least in my case. Also I noticed that it has lychee My favorite Note in fruity.

COLOREDGIRLSHUFFLE

This is a very pretty scent. I think the pepper and ginger mid notes make sure the fragrance has a bit of "kick" and not too fruity or sweet. This could be an everyday scent for the right person. A soapy (in a good way) floral that smells like it was made with quality ingredients and not screechy synthetics.

malikun

Does anyone else think the original formula is similar to Caudalie The Des Vignes, could it be a dupe? I bought TDV recently and could not pinpoint what does this gorgeous scent remind me of?🥲I was struggling all day until I searched it by notes and right away saw this perfume(ginger!). My best friend’s mom had Miracle when we were kids in ‘00s, and I really think that was it😍 I need pick a bottle of Caudalie when I go back to my country to confirm my theory…

cats_eye

This is a fresh, spicy floral with a sandalwood and musk drydown. I smell carnations that aren't too sweet. Very unique fragrance that lasts forever. This is one you can become nose-blind too quickly due to the musks and spicy notes.

Yulia Che

Floral soapy, not in a bad way. A bit too sweet in the beginning, especially for the summer, but that phase doesn't last too long. It then turns powdery. On me the projection is good for the first 30 min during the sweet floral "explosion", then it moves to the skin. Lasts on me around 3 hours. My bottle is from one of the ~2019 batches.

oil1122

i just buy Miracle batch 11/2021, find that its smell less spicy and i cannot find lychee note😢

Can anyone tell me what's happen? because of it's new? i used to try bottled of my friend (older than mine) i like lychee and pepper note. Does the smell will change when i keep it long time?

i am so disapointed my Miracle bottle😢😢😢

likesleet

fresh florals & fruity lychee. luckily, i didn't get the pepper because that's one of my least favorite notes

Mirille

On my skin, it starts out feeling a little like I am sitting in a hair salon, smelling all the hair perming solutions or hair dyes in the air. Then it goes into something pleasantly soapy. It then dries into a pleasant, sweet floral. I cannot smell the fruits at all.

I probably would not buy it.

Happyme2009

Floral soapy, elegant, clean, pleasant. I don't get any sickening sweetness mentioned by other reviews, and I got my bottle in 2022. Long time ago, I purchased this in a duty free airport. I excitedly opened the box, and dropped the bottle down in the middle of the airport. It broke in a million pieces, and I never thought of buying it again until this year, when I really need a miracle. This bottle is simple, the juice has a gorgeous pink colour. I was hoping for more lychees and pepper, but it's more peony, roses and soap, maybe hints of magnolia, but that's about it. Very pleasant, with average sillage and lasting power, a true classic. If you want to stand out, be sexy, be unique, be loud, this is not the scent for that, but it's elegant, feminine and conservative, and I can't imagine anyone being offended by it. As a plus, it's cheaper than other fragrances today, $135 plus tax for 100ml.

Szafirowy czar

It's a beautiful daytime spring/summer fragrance 🌿🌞 update: I was testing this fragrance again for a couple of days now and it actually smelled quite soapy to me... Not going to buy the whole bottle

chimidoro

2019 formulation.
Still smells like Miracle, but like they added in some if the horrendous sweetness of LVEB to it in an attempt to keep the brand as uniform and mass appealing (for fans of LVEB) as possible.
They have effectively poo-pooed this scent by over sweetening it as a way of keeping it modern.

The style of this scent was not previously one of sugar sweetness. I owned this when it was first released and the scent was not wrapped in a dense coating of sugar like it is now. It's a real shame that the existence of LVEB (along with a million other similar scents) has equated to the brand's desire to make everything equally as sickeningly sweet.
Yadda yadda...
Still smells like Miracle.
Miracle still hangs on in there, to some degree.
The orangey (sweet satsuma, tangerine?) note is far stronger (and sweeter) than it was previously. Perhaps that is also a contributing factor to the overall elevation of sweetness.
Still pleasant, still nice, but the added sweetness is really too much for me.
Smells better from a distance, but as the wearer of the scent this is no consolation.

Nice.
But it was nicer before they sweetened it up so much.

AutumnJewel

Note For Myself: Pink peppercorn and sweet peony


One of my favorites from Lancôme.

fishandbear

Smells clean and simple. But the pepper in the dry-down throws me off.

Mandii_mondo7

It smells good but I think the magnolia and ginger makes it a once in a while reach for me. Its feminine and somewhat mature but not yet vintage smelling.

Alejandro Sthandier

I got this vintage bottle thinking what was Miracle Homme, my mistake, I tried to wear it as a man and I thought it didn't work, but the curious thing is that I received a pair of compliments, I think this is the pinnacle of a femenine fragrance, but with my ph it worked.

loveleen

The fragrance notes here are wrong, they are missing the peony note. From the Lancome website the notes are:

Top Notes: Juicy Lychee, Freesia and Pink peppercorn
Heart Notes: Peony, Damascena Rose, Delicate Magnolia, Bourbon Pepper, Ginger.
Base Notes: Absolute Jasmine, Musk, Patchouli, Amber

Paula80

Oldie but goodie! It was launched in 2000 but I don't find it dated at all; to me it's a timeless everyday scent.
Miracle is a fresh, musky-floral fragrance with a touch of pepper. Lychee in the opening adds a bit of sweetness. The most prominent floral notes (to my nose) are freesia and magnolia, which create a dewy and fresh aspect of this perfume. Clean musk and warm amber in the base round off the composition.
Miracle is a very pretty, gentle and feminine perfume....one of the 'sentimental' fragrances in my collection.

Disclaimer: my bottle is from 2013.

Hara1980

So basically this is a very clean and fresh perfume, ideal for work during spring. It's a safe choice but its sillage is somewhat poor.
The pepper is definitely there from the first sniff and that's a twist that makes it more interesting than the other perfumes of the same category.

La Place Rouge

Interesting idea but cheap cheap cheap making. I cannot afford to buy low quality things. Passons.

loveleen

I absolutely adore the original perfume prior to reformulation. The way it develops is so beautiful. It starts as a bright, fresh, peppery sweet clean fruity floral and then after 20 minutes the magnolia really starts to shine through. After a few hours, in the drydown the jasmine comes out and smells sweet and almost vanilla-like but in a floral way - if that makes sense. The new version is much more soapy and lacks that sweet magnolia scent. It's really a shame they decided to change it.

I didn't think this perfume was special when I first tried it, but it really grew on me and now I'd have to say it's one of my top fragrances.

TLDR; Sweet, floral, aromatic and pleasant and a touch of spice. Silliage is incredible. I wear this when I want to feel pretty and girly.

KikiDeMontparnasse

So y2k in a bottle, like totally! It smells like a specific era it’s insane! Early 00s romcoms, tiger beat magazine, hot pink convertibles and lip smackers fruity gloss.

Radiates a cool, fashionable girl energy. A clean soapy, fruity opening and melts into a pretty floral scent. Something that is perfect for sunny, spring brunch dates and boutique crawls around the city.

Sillage is crazy, if someone else is wearing it — I can smell it from the next room over!

A lovely clean,fragrant scent which is perfect for work.It is not overpowering or offensive and smells very elegant..its also a perfect spring scent.Longevity is really good.

Ninalovesclassy

Clean laundry - pleasant, but not worth the money if you are going to smell like soap.

Marie76

Well, I called my daughter Miracle in Spanish, so I'd have to give her this! She loves it. It has a bright citrus opening, a gentle floral heart, and a soft powdery dry down, sort of fruity and sweet.
Very gentle and girly and simply nice... sometimes we overthink and over intellectualise fragrance, and what matters is that they smell good, this one does.

Gummybear002

This is all kinds of mess. A damp drawer of expired spices. An old bottle of shampoo that needs to be thrown away. Rotted fruit

Hopeless

Ni01010

I enjoy this one, one of those perfumes I always get compliments on.

BethyBee

I love the beginning of this one, especially the litchi. But all I notice in the dry down is ginger and pepper. I'll use up my travel sample, but won't be buying this again. Just ok for me for this one.

elisabeth47

dear fragrantica,
fragrances creators for miracle de lancôme are Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont. At this time Christian Dussoulier was account manager for Lancome @ Firmenich.

dantheman352

Happy Birthday my Yellow Diamond 2/25/2000, I love you so much more than words can describe.

As you know, we your parents were not able to conceive, something that distressed us deeply since we desired to have children. Upon numerous trials and request for help we were informed that indeed we were not able to conceive. Through lots of prayers from our family and church friends and upon visiting St. Gerard we were blessed, grateful and thrilled. We finally conceived the most beautiful girl, Christa, a gift from God, a true Miracle.

In the same year you were born fitting for this occasion, the house of Lancome launched a fragrance called Miracle, which I am offering you today as a symbol of one of our greatest moments. Miracle is flowery and soapy, fresh and invigorating. A true breath of fresh air that will put a smile on your beautiful face.

Every time you wear this fragrance, celebrate life and all its gratifications and more so kindly remember the gift you are to us and to the world.

with love your parents

twiztidladii

Floral and soapy. Smells like a really nice bar soap would smell like. This one isn’t for me either but I know a lot of people like the soapy scents.

thebloff

One of the best Lancome fragrances I've smelled. High quality, sweet, and flowery.

Adriennne

Not so bad but very weak. Bright Crystal or Eau Tendre are better alternatives. Even Boss Ma vie...

Mashaiil

This perfume is warm clean, i smell ginger and pepper the most but they're toned down with a floral clean scent maybe the musk and Mandarine, smells exactly like a sugar-cured ginger slice with pepper sprinkles, i like it but i have to hold my breath whenever i spray it on as it inflicts sneezing. "not that sweet"

yanan.liu

First time i had it was a gift from ex for our beautiful love, but i thought the scent was too strong so never wear it, gave it to my mum, my mum dropped and broken it, the scent lasted around 2 months (according to my mum)
Second time i got it from my friend.

loveleen

This smells like a clean, yet slightly tropical fruity floral to my nose. I can smell the fruit and the floral but it's fresh. Definitely a day time perfume. Not something that wow's me. I can see Mariah Carrey wearing this in the 90's.

Sorfan

To preface my review, I do think Miracle is a lovely scent, versatile, feminine and pretty.
I bought this for nostalgic reasons. I never owned it, but tried it and loved the clean, cashmere sweater smell. I sprayed it on today and it smells a lot like Estée Lauder Pleasures. I wore Pleasures for years and I never thought of the two having the same scent profile. Reformulation, I guess. I wish I had bought one of the older formulations.

Ri39

Sophisticated perfume, it’s real miracle in a bottle! So classic and timeless, this perfume will never go out of style. It was my signature scent for many years. It’s the scent I buy over and over again, I’m obsessed with this wonderful scent :) The scent is very sweet, both soft and heavy at the same time, very unique perfume. The scent is suitable for lovers of sweet, floral perfumes. Not blind purchase.

Roses and Thyme

Miracle is one of my workhorse perfumes. It’s one of the ones I reach for in a professional environment (like White Linen, Knowing, etc.) or on a super hot, humid day like those of us in coastal South USA know.

I’ve been wearing this off and on since its release, and even though I know appreciate deeper, more complex scents, there is always a place for Miracle on my wardrobe. Sometimes, I just want to smell pretty and put together, darn it!

The scent itself is a combo of sweet florals (not candy), some zingy citrus, and some spice from the ginger. It dries down to a musk that can go a little sharp in cooler weather. It’s 72 F today and that’s about as cool a temp as I will wear this in because it just smells prettier to me in the warmth.

yiotagreece

A more mature and less musky and powdery Chance eau Tendre edt. Decent longevity and medium projection. I thought it would be great considering the reviews.

LSAUG

I don't know what it is w/ me and Lancome but as hard as I try, and sample I can not find a perfume from this brand that I like and want to buy. This gives me a headache and it smells extremely synthetic. I get a gag reflex while I am smelling it right now. I like Freesia and that is very present in this one but how it is composed just isn't very becoming of a pretty smelling flower. Freesia if combined w/ magnolia is just to strong, especially combined w/ such strong spices like black pepper and ginger. It is just to much. This reminds me of one of the Jadore flankers, I can't remember which one. It's not a dupe but they both have magnolia and the magnolia smells extremely fake in both. Freesia is a pretty smelling floral but it has to be handled right. It can come off like shower gel or be like this one and just be overpowering and headache inducing, and combining it w/ magnolia is just way to much. A hard no for me.

tatendanyasha

Fresh clean fragrance i love love it! Longevity is pretty decent too max 6 hrs

Alisaaa131

So pre-teen me received 5 travel sized lancome fragrances from my father in a small kit and I LOVED Miracle so Magic!
Once I used all that I remember switching to the tiny pink Miracle bottle and not quite loving it as much but still used it.
Fast forward to today, I purchased this for nostalgic purposes, it just arrived and I dosed myself in this for the memories.
It definitely smells girly and pink, the lychee and soft but fresh florals are so feminine and pretty.
I think of belting out With You by Jessica Simpson and Our Lips Are Sealed by Hilary/Haylie Duff in the backseat of a car, wearing my wrist bands, white t shirt and low rise jeans.
This fragrance embodies being care-free, simpler times, new crushes..
It's nothing unique or mind blowing but it's something that'll never go out of style.
Clean, feminine, pretty and pink.
I'm so happy to be reunited with this :')

pinkdiamond1

When I smelled this at the store, it was very nice- a light floral with a hint of fruitiness, fresh but not soapy, screechy or artificial. I wasn't sure what the exact floral notes were, but I could tell that it was floral with litchi. So I purchased this scent, and when I got home and put it on, it changed. Maybe it was because of my body chemistry. I don't know. But it turned into a somewhat-powdery, almost mature scent that was similar to a soap or bath product, like shower gel or shampoo (but like a slightly powdery version of it). I felt disappointed because I initially liked this scent so much but it just doesn't work for my body chemistry.

blorpkin

I bought this one because it transported me right back to my cringe middle school days from 2003. When I put this on, I feel like I should also put on low-rise flared jeans, a graphic babydoll t-shirt, and skateboard sneakers. It's not a bad perfume but it smells outdated to me. Wear it if you want to be nostalgic for a less stupid era.

Kir Royal

Miracle is such a little darling! Floral and feminine it always suggests it's wearer has good manners, no care in the world and is blessed with some delicate beauty and poise.

Gentle mixture of dewy magnolia, juicy litchi and elegant freesia with some spicy hints of ginger and black pepper.

Some would say it's boring - well, it is to some extent. But it is boring as a string of white pearls, I can't do without it.

Absolutely timeless and adorable!

rqqq

Fresh and feminine. I cannot tell the notes inside, but I like this type of scent. I classify this in the same genre of Versace bright crystal pink color. Perfect for daily wear to any occasion in summer.

BlueOcean19

Clean and elegant scent in some almost old fashioned way. Which is not a bad thing in this fragrance, but it's not modern either. It's really peppery in the opening and clean, even boring in the dry down. It stays close to the skin, good for professional environment.

I tried a sample and will not purchase a bottle, not a hate, but definitely not a love for me.

qofb

Miracle definitely feels of its time, but that's not a bad thing. You aren't going to smell vintage, you are going to smell put together, professional, crisp. Miracle opens with a slight spice, the pepper and ginger are delicate but definitely present, the lychee too. To me this is more watery florals and that spice in the dry down, the freesia and the magnolia give it creaminess and wateriness. The base for me is a light musk with a light amber. This isnt heavy in the slightest. Sillage and projection are not great, it's a skin scent. In fact, yep, it's a clean skin scent in many ways. Longevity is middling for me at about 4-5 hours. This one is quiet, confident and clean...

bel.gravia

Has anyone mentioned peonies? Oh they are not even on the list... it must be the magnolia and litchi! So, I am and was a massive fan of Oriflame Paradise. Paradise was absolutely stunning, floral and so so fresh spicy. I always thought it was a more affordable alternative to Miracle. Recently Oriflame Paradise was discontinued, so I thought alright time to get the real deal, the actual perfume on which Paradise was based. Oh no! Oh no. This is not it. They share some floral notes and the idea but they are not dupes. There is not enough pepper, not enough of the fresh spicy notes in Miracle. Perhaps Miracle has been reformulated? Well, if I am to judge Miracle on its own merit, it is lovely non the less. Smells like slightly powdered woody floral.

mikacorra247

Me and freesia are not usually good pals but in this perfume, it certainly works. Miracle has this slight kick to it in the beginning, a bit sharp. But after a few minutes, it became a fresh floral perfume on me. I love the combination of notes. It makes me feel pretty and feminine. This is definitely a fresh white floral perfume with some fruits in it. Too bad it doesn't last on me. After two or three hours, it becomes a skin scent. I thought if this had good longevity, I would buy a full bottle, but after two days of testing a decant of it, I don't think I'm going to do so.

The only other Lancome perfume I've tried is the original Idole. That one is a fresh rose scent that I love too and it lasts and projects way better than Miracle. I honestly think Lancome make good freshies but unless they have a huge discount and unless you don't mind re-spraying every 3-4 hours, I don't think Miracle is worth buying full bottle. Sorry :(

BettyBoop75

I really like this fragrance. It's not a love, but definitely a strong like... Ms. Miracle is fun-loving and free spirited. She is soft, light, airy and fun to wear!

I mean, it just wouldn't feel proper to be grouchy or disgruntled when you are wearing such a flattering fragrance! She will definitely lift your spirits and remind you not to take life so seriously! 💞

Now to stand clear, this is one of Lancome's lighter and more playful Fragrances. Miracle is not to be confused with the other "powerhouse" signature fragrances the Lancome brand is known for creating. 💞

Personally, I could wear this fragrance everyday. For me it goes for summer and spring for sure, and can also be worn in a crispy/cool climate as well.

Alas, I keep Ms. Miracle pearched up and ready at moments notice. She is definitely a permanent fixture in my perfume collection!!
*B* 💖💗💞

Ruby Galore

This one is simple but beautiful. If I could only have one perfume (but I can’t), I might have this one. For every day and for everywhere.

Marisa36

I get the same feeling from Miracle as when I wear Delina La Rosée, especially the opening. It’s young, pretty, sweet, a little airy and innocent. Dry down is very different. I get whispers of Trésor. I am probably way too old for this lovely pink concoction, but who cares. Love a nice litchi note. Girliest of the girliest of fragrances.

chocolat

The fragrance, “Miracle Lancôme for women”, could be compared to the refreshing, iced tea made at home with a mix of a fruit nectar for the warm, summer nights in Bulgaria. It has a warming ability for somebody like myself who could be found to be an introvert, with a mild temperament, and loving the comfort of the fashion in clothing of the 80’s of the 20-th century. It makes me feel confident when a person could be disturbed by unpleasant smells of cooked food and the overactivity of the body during the hot season. I think this would be how the air inside a house or a restaurant would smell like at the Black Sea coastline, of a refreshing fruit drink with some ice cubes.

Tigi

Years ago, when this fragrance debuted, my roommate in Texas (an RN and diabetic educator to this day) came home with a bottle of this and generously allowed me to use it whenever I wished. For some reason, over the years, I'd forgotten about it. Then, a few months ago, I saw it mentioned by someone in the forums and the scent-memory came flooding back: I knew that I had to make it mine and did, with a 100ml bottle no less. It's still every bit as beautiful, feminine, and magical as I remembered from all those years ago.
She is definitely sweet, but floral, so not saccharine or over the top by any means; I find the ginger and pepper temper the sweetness and add a perfect balance, providing a spicy foundation for the florals to delicately float upon.
Performance is as one would expect from the house of Lancome: moderate or better on all points. Pricing is also right on point as the quality is undeniably there.
I plan to always have at least one bottle of this is my collection; I'd even consider this one signature-worthy, no question.

Junej

Summer here in Tokyo, and needed a perfume that was not too obtrusive for the sensitive Japanese nose. Plus, I just had my first vaccine jab the day before yesterday, and decided to splurge on something to cheer myself up after experiencing some side effects.

The opening is cavity-inducing sweet; I have never tried a perfume with litchi before, so this is an experience. Definitely screechy, but dries down within five minutes, thank goodness. The middle notes are lovely! Very effervescent. The magnolia, pepper and ginger shine through on my skin, with a just a hint of the jasmine. I get a surprising waft of mandarin orange now and again, as a separate note (if you can believe it); delicately fresh and juicy. The base notes are largely lost on me, but definitely jasmine, and more amber than musk. Longevity is 3-4 hours on my (late 20s, combo) skin, and silage is an arm's length IMO. I can see why this is one of the fragrances approved by most Japanese fragheads. For sure, a safe but alluring fragrance for everyday use!

7/10: would have loved if longevity was better, but reapplying is fine by me.

D. Lee

I was gifted a small bottle of this in my university days, without knowing what the notes were. Down to my final drops later, I now realise it was the beginning of a love of anything that has mandarin, pink pepper, magnolia and ginger notes. I do admit that it makes me sneeze every time I spritz it on. That aside, I truly appreciated this on days when I desperately needed a refresh after running around campus or sports. It's bright, sparkly and not too sweet. Perhaps, I might purchase another to relive happier, carefree times.

rosesblanches

Update: The ginger and musk felt a little overwhelming yesterday. I really liked the opening of the perfume, so I'm really upset about this!

You're on vacation and staying in a cream and gold hotel room. It is spring outside, cherry blossoms and magnolias are in full bloom. You've just taken a morning shower and feel fresh, clean and cozy. There's still time before the breakfast buffet closes, so you roll in the sheets for another 15 minutes or so. Forget makeup, you feel bare but beautiful.

I cannot believe it took me so long to find this scent. It is a dream.

cassiesta

Litchi is one of my favorite notes, and I notice a lot of perfumes I love have amber in them. I'm noticing a pattern with magnolia and freesia as well as notes I like. I think this is a very good perfume. I'm not a big fan of ginger but it gives this more interest. Maybe it's the pink pepper another note I think I might like even less. But either way I think I like it here. A very nice combination of notes, and great for spring. It's sophisticated and not too floral or fresh; maybe the amber adds the bit of warmth that this has.

Azisai-

There's something about this, and the reason this is special to me is probably because of memories. I recently got a sample size of this, about 0.16 FL oz., and it was like a time capsule. It reminds me of women with plucked-thin eyebrows and sparkly pink eyeshadow with sticky lip gloss, and these certain pink purses every lady I knew carried around. Also reminds me of listening to early 2000's Balkan music while in the backseat of my Aunt's car while she was driving, just bliss tokens of being little.

Maybe if this didn't bring back vivid images of good times back, I don't think I'd treasure it so much. Sure, it's not too out-of-the-box and perhaps you'll be complimented but never asked the name of what you're wearing...but it's a fresh-faced beauty, nonetheless. It's a balance of warm spicy and fresh spicy with florals being predominant, you definitely feel gardenia and ginger if you know those two well. Pleasant and feminine, perfect if you want something simple but pretty, but again I'm probably biased. Something about it makes me think of when I was little, when I sat on this large boulder in front of my cousin's high school waiting for him to get out. It was really warm outside and it hurt to sit on the boulder for long, but I waited until I heard the bell ring and saw him with his ipod in his pocket, sharing one earbud with his then-girlfriend. Maybe it was his girlfriend who wore this on that day, but I don't think I'll ever be able to get that picture out of my head.

Freedom#1

Very young and bouncy in the beginning then it’s a beautiful dry down. I thought it was vanilla !

blossomka

6/10. Floral spice. Red pepper. Not many distinct notes, well blended floral with hint of sweet geranium. Light with some complexity: pleasant. Does not stand out. Some reviews indicate this more an adult fragrance but I disagree. Perhaps it was reformulated. It is a nice gift for a young girl. Mild sillage. My husband feels it undeniably feminine.

MagdalenaM

People seem to like this, which I find confusing. To me, starting with the lackluster bottle, its a fragrance with no charisma. Further on, I find that it smells so cheap, shockingly for a Lancome scent. I was honestly so confused when I sprayed it on. Its fresh but in an annoying way. I dont know, maybe its just not for me, but I feel like theres a reason why this is sold so cheap nowdays.

DaniBear1121

Miracle is an amazing fragrance. I blind bought this and it's one of my favorite fragrances ever. The freesia and magnolia come through most for me but that subtle spice gives this balance and depth. Projection and lasting power are great. This is such an elegant, classy, timeless beauty of a scent. By far the best of Lancome's line in my opinion and a perfect Spring scent for someone who wants to feel (and smell) beautiful.

michelle46

I have been participating in the Escentual blind trials. You get 8 samples of different genres of perfume and wear them or smell them and decide if you like any until they are disclosed about a month later. Anyway, one of the fruity blind trials, reminded me of Lancome's Miracle. I was sure it was Miracle............. until it wasn't! But it got me remembering it and how I liked it. So, as you gain points with these trials, I bought another bottle of Miracle and I'm pleased I did. It is lovely, floral, musky, and the Gardenia really comes through. Plus it's really long lasting and doesn't break my bank account. If you want a long lasting fragrance then Miracle is a great one to try.
I think as I've got older, I really appreciate this perfume and it's notes, when I was younger I thought it was heavy, but after trying so many perfumes over the years and finding they don't last long, I've come full circle and love this fragrance now.
I am learning to discern between different heart, middle and base notes, though I've still got a long way to go, but it's fun. And Fragrantica is a Godsend.
Gone are the days of spraying a perfume and deciding whether I like it or not. I now wait and smell it throughout the day and can pick up different notes, and change my mind usually.

lyka

floral inoubliable, bonne tenue et bon sillage; fait très chic et féminin, je perçois rose et freesia mais pas du tout litchi.
très porté à une époque, l'est moins à présent. bon achat, la qualité y est

I was gifted a Premiere Miniature Collection with Miracle, Anais Anais, Tresor (original) Paloma Picasso, Lou Lou and Lauren Ralph Lauren. Cute bottles! I collect mini's so I'll treasure this set. I already had Anais, but it doesn't hurt to have two, and full size Lauren that belonged to my MIL. The other 3 are new to me scents.

So, I've become quite the Lancome enthusiast and Miracle is no exception. I've gravitated more towards the sweet scents like LVEB I, but this one is zesty like KL32 said below. Refreshing, uplifting. The litchi, ginger and orange come through first on me and it rounds out with the magnolia. The pepper plays really nice with that ginger. The freesia gets lost between the ginger and pepper, but the amber keeps the musk and jasmine from going all barnyard on me. Also, if it didn't have that musk and amber this one would be very screechy instead of zesty. But this isn't a comforting scent, it's what I'd call a "get the hell away from me blues" kinda scent. Now that I've worn it I recognize how many copies there are of it, but this one is very well blended, its not that screechy smell like I mentioned above. I like it.

This is the twin sister of Just Me by Paris Hilton. I had Miracle in the early 2000's but I remember it clearly. I must have given it away but needless to say, I got Just Me for a bargain and it's exactly what I remember Miracle smelling like. With that said, I really like Just Me so if anyone is looking for a dup, this is way less expensive, but just as awesome.

They are both very well done. :)

The perfume, namely, "Miracle Lancôme for women", I had bought in recent years after having owned a bottle in the distant past.
My initial reaction to the fragrance was to feel a bit the need for a distance that I had given to the scent of a Freesia bouquet, and that I seemed to feel as an overpowering one, in the direction of how new plastic items and car accessories would smell in the Store.
It was today that I sensed the pleasant scent of a flavored tea. The mentioned fragrance, and this being, namely, "Miracle Lancôme for women", reminded me, also, of a much different one, and that being, namely, "Le Jardin De Monsieur Li Hermes".
Having experienced different fragrances of the past, I find that this fragrance, being, namely, "Miracle Lancôme for women", could be well suited for a woman who would wear a suit, every day, even if, with a type of a cardigan, and who would be with a semi-long and straight hair style that would be colored in the shades of medium blonde, and who would wear make-up every day. The fragrance has a depth that has its defined boundary, and this could make it well tempered for an office wear. The bottle of 30ml. is very beautiful, and would seem to be fitted for a hand-bag, too.

I keep coming back to this fragrance over & over again. I really want to like it but all I get is a strong Windex smell.
Does it have a fresh scent to it? Well yes, Windex smells fresh. I will say that it does have a nice mellow musk scent once it completes the dry-down. The musk helps to mellow out the top notes & then becomes a pretty Windex fragrance. I can’t decide if this belongs on a shelf in the fragrance or grocery store isle.

Plus, I just can’t get past thinking this must have been the bridal scent in the movie: My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

lauraleon

Looks a lot like Chance Tendre, but less acidic, more creamier and more durable.

Domina1

I was looking for a neutral inoffensive perfume that you can wear anywhere. Miracle is this type of perfume. Nice soft floral, yet ginger and pepper give some kick to it.

It smells a bit obsolete these days , I can see why Miracle was popular 20 years ago. It is still good perfume, don’t get me wrong - it’s just since Miracle launch there were a lot of this type of perfume launched so Miracle got lost amongs various “juicy coutures”

On first sniff I get the most beautiful sparkling bubbly litchi champagne then the exquisite ginger hits me followed by an abundance of jasmine. It’s my all time favourite perfume! Any age could easily wear this. It’s an absolute delight. Refreshing in the summer and warming in the winter. Feminine, romantic and classy. This one has it all and never gets old. Love!

Liz-frag

This one is a weird one !
First spray is rosy- kinda fresh, Chloé type.
When it started to dry down it smelled like my all-time grandma’s toilet spray (don’t get me wrong it didn’t smell like a toilet spray, just my grandmas one ; maybe the same notes ?).
And after hear me out it smelled like the pastel candy necklaces you could buy in a tabacco store, do you know what I mention? Haha
Only the grandmas toilets didn’t pass the vibe for me to buy it, too bad !

Maths

I loved it when I was a teenager. I remember wearing this perfume on my first date.

seagreentangerine

This exceptionally romantic, feminine, warm, sparkling yet very sophisticated perfume will cheer you up during the dark, long gloom of Winter. It's very very pretty, uplifting... I would say if you love Jour D'Hermes, Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia and Amo by Ferragamo, then this is a pretty good fit for you. That and the fact that it's crazy-ridiculously cheap and on offer at least 3 times a year, it's definitely a chuck-in-your-handbag and drench to your hearts content!

In the summer, it becomes an incredible projector of intoxicating proportions, yet remains very pretty, you know, it's even slightly ozonic too even though that's not an ingredient included, it's absolutely stunning and sticks to you like your favourite lover...
CRAZY EXPERIMENT: put a little under your arms, I am layering it with a Mitchum Roll On Sport and trust me, it works. I've even had good results with Clarin's mens roll on underarm deodorant. Both of those are mega compatible with Miracle. Yes, I know it's weird, but give it a go, I think what happens is that the perfume becomes suspended in oil and makes it last even longer...

ruby_evelyn

very romantic, very feminine, bit powdery. brings me to a sunny summer day in a garden full of flowers

GoodVibrations

Cool, frisky, sweet, and clean. So well-done that it smells like it should be edible, but it doesn’t cross into the typical gourmand territory. It’s clearly not like bubblegum, candy, or fruit, but it is like something just as enjoyable, and it stays in the realm of perfume that’s for all ages. It sparkles with crispness, it dazzles, and it’s not too sweet. It’s both couture and juicy, but it’s not vulgar. It’s just right. It never goes out of style, and it’s destined to be a classic. It’s easily my favorite from this house.

ElisabethS

I wore Miracle on my wedding day, and I think it was the perfect fragrance for a bride. It's fresh and romantic, yet has a bit of maturity to it that's grounding but still lovely. The lotion, as several people have noted here, was even more gorgeous. I've moved on to richer, heavier scents (it's been a decade and a half since that day), but I still have the bottle (about 1/4 full at this point) and like to smell it once in a while to enjoy the memory. I didn't wear a lot of perfume back then, so I'm glad I made a point of wearing fragrance for the occasion. It's nice to have a particular scent attached to such a special day.

gillbert

fresh soft spicy sweet floral musky scent, love it forever

frangiris

A nice, inoffensive, warm floral scent. It is suitable for an office and wears elegantly. This perfume is not edgy or particularly memorable, but would be a nice everyday reach.

joce_norris

Miracle by Lancome is a hidden gem! I would describe it as a fresh spicy feminine scent.. I first fell in love with it when I was in 7th grade. It manages to be truly feminine (the jasmine note is strong but somehow also manages to be light) with a bit of spice thanks to the pepper and ginger. I wear this perfume in cold weather only as it smells horrible on me when it's above 50 degrees. Honestly I even wear it to barre class and all my fellow classmates always ask what I'm wearing/love the smell! I think it could be considered sexy if you wear it for date night, but I just tend to wear it more during the day..probably because of the freshness it retains. I would describe it as a powerful and memorable smell on any woman, it'll definitely turn heads!

Coffeeandperfume

This is a strong beauty that blooms on a cold sunny winter day! What a beast! Sweet, floral, gentle, strong. Not cozy, though. Too powerful to be cozy.

Unfortunately the caretaker of my late father-in-law law stole it from me, as well as my MIL's expensive shampoos. I will not repurchase as I didn't have any special memories attached to it besides going to grad school in cold Boston. My Scandal and La vie est belle L'eclat kind of remind me of her.

I had the 2011 version and it was powerful. Test at home before going to work with it. Not safe for a blind buy or a present. Has too much character to be liked by everyone.

ayken

Dear people, this is an adorable scent that makes you feel fressssssh yet sweeeeeet. ugh this is so nice though, i cannot say that this would give any headaches to a wearer, it has such a clean and fresh feel to it that you could easily bath in it as in spritz as much as you want.
its spicy and i am not a big fan of spices but i realised once they are mixed with other great ingredients then spices can work and this works people. this is a very strong floral at first then dries down to citrusy spicy and i would believe the musky note would appear once it comes together with the skin, but i tested it on the paper only, yet even on paper it made me have strong emotions for it.
this is a long lasting one.
also this here reminds me of something but i cannot put my finger on it, is it a certain drink or even another perfume that smells like this one but heck i love it.

GinCatsBooks

In search of a Miracle? Look no further, dear reader!

I love the ginger/magnolia/pepper/litchi combination in this, its a true fresh-spicy scent thats perfect for daily wear year round and I can totally see why some people would also choose this as a signature scent.

I've had my bottle of Miracle since 2018, I bought it whilst I was wating for a date to turn up, whilst that relationship ended, my love for Miracle still continues. The name and colour of the juice grabbed my attention,I had read the notes list but still couldn't quite picture how it smells, I was half expecting a fruity sweet scent, I sprayed my wrist with the tester and was taken aback,it was so fresh but not in the typical aquatic/calone way, it was more floral (magnolia) fresh with some spice and warmth from the pepper and ginger and the litchi adding a bit of slight fruitiness, I bought a 50ml bottle there and then, the rest is history!

It does remind me slightly of Estee Lauder Pleasures in the opening, but thats where the similarities end, Pleasures smells more floral/violety to my nose where as Miracle smells more fresh spicy/ fruity floral. Longevity is good with 8 hours of wear and a gentle silage, I will repurchase in the future and I will wear it more!

MomGodess

Hoping for Miracle!
Back in 2000s I remember I've found an almost full 100ml bottle in the reception at our apartment house.
I was 19 and picked it up, and used it for a day or two. I remember how much I loved it and I enjoyed it. But since we had only a 5 appartments in that house, sadly I've found the true owner of her soon.
I've already wore Samsara and heavy orientals that time. I wanted to smell sexy all the time, so I didn't grab a bottle for myself.
During the years I always smelled on some people, and each individual brought out something different from it.
I like it when a scent is not linear or generic on everyone.
Lately I am craving a lighter scent (funny in the fall). I use Mon Guerlain but I want a fresher alternative.
I enjoy Chanel Chance Eau Tender but it lacks of sillage and longevity (use the edt because at least the dry down is stronger than the edp on my skin because of the amber). The genre of Miracle reminds of me of that.
Usually I am appreciating the work of Artberto Morillas. But Bright Cristall has something too sharp in it and Omnia Christalline is too unisex for me.
But what Alberto Morillas knows and it shows in all of his works that strong is not always sexy. He can sell innocence and cleanness in a very erotic way. Uses fresh top and middle notes and unfold eroticism (Jasmin/Amber and Musk trio) in the base. He is not suffocating with screaming lust but draws attention and turns on carnal instinct in skin closeness.
Almost like a 16 years old Lolita. The forbidden fruit. It is definitely radiating youth and lightness and brightens the mood. Meanwhile the musk is and amber are the sexiest pheromones.
I am hoping for Miracle. I tested on Friday and I was pleased especially the lasting power brings out the base notes. I like strong dry down and it is especially good, at least on clothes. Fingers cross for body chemistry.
The scent itself is complex, round, yet not overly done. It is a masterpiece 20 years of existence on an over saturated market is proof that it is a good work.
Also, I am aware that due to regulation pre-2010 scents are slightly reformulated. So it is different and I am different as I was 20 years ago. Now I know that sexy is when you are not trying to be sexy (like LVEB - which pushes my man away on any skin). My hubby buys me Eau Tendre, he likes to seduce the innocent girl and get in bed with a sexy woman. I am pretty sure Miracle has a same effect with better projection and longevity.
Although perfume is an art and I do not save on it but the price tag is also appealing 25 € for a set with shower gel and lotion incl. 30 ml Miracle is a miracle. So I will go back tommorow for my pack.
I hope finding Miracle 20 years ago was a sign and now I finally get it!

wee drop

Mmmmm. I love this fragrance more each time I wear it♥️
Miracle is a Springtime and Autumn perfume for me.

Mila81

Delicate, floral and feminine. Definitely a safe work scent for spring or summer. Years ago I used to wear Just Me by Paris Hilton and I pick up a similar vibe they almost smell identical, the only difference is that Miracle is a more mature scent and the longevity is slightly better. Love this fragrance and really look forward to enjoying it again when spring comes around.

gpaisley

This beautiful perfume reminds me a little of ONE DIRECTION - OUR MOMENT.

laviolamagique

Oh, how nostalgic. Those days when the scaredy-cat laviolamagique finally gathered up the courage to take a train trip downtown, all alone, just to sniff some perfumes at the nearest department store. Lancome's Miracle was one of the scents I sprayed onto the paper strips. I immediately fell in love on how mature and elegant this was. This gives you the illusion of a sophisticated office lady, probably in her 30s.

This scent opens up with sparkly fresh litchi, then progressed to a blooming bouquet of clean smelling flowers. Do remember that this one has a peppery kick to it. The spicy nuances were always present from the start to end, accompanying the well-blended floral notes.

I promise myself I'll wear this someday, the day I finally established myself as the so-called sophisticated office lady.

Little Principessa

I still don't have the actual perfume but I have the body lotion. And god, it is the best scent I've ever smelled! It is so perfect on my skin and it's the only one that I would buy again, again and again! It's a masterpiece and I don't know why it doesn't have bigger rates. The smell is so soft, clean and fresh. It is exactly the smell of a sweet yet strong willed young woman. They combined so well the fragrance of magnolia with other flowers. And I also can notice the musk in it. It is so obvious and well mixed with the mognolia scent.

Skylandis

This is a nice clean scent, its long lasting and whenever I wear it I get compliments. Personally though its a bit "heavy" to me and I dont like how artificial some of the undertones are.

summernatsu

This is a very special but recognizable scent. It's a balance of fruity-floral with some spice. The first time I smelled it, I thought it was too strong but then I smelled it on someone else and it was actually great!

This is my mom's favorite perfume. The scent eventually grew on me and I think the balance of sweetness and pepper in the scent makes this very age-neutral.

Naomie

Crispy floral scent, I actually used it in winter time I loved it and used 3 bottle of it, probably will get it again! wouldn’t say it’s my ‘to go perfume’ but I have the mood for it every now and again so it’s good to have it handy 🙈🌷

pacsalia

this reminds me of ORIFLAME PARADISE... :O too peppery, too sweet, too much...
i don't like it :(

Adelete

A nice, crisp floral. Strong yet delicate. Miracle is one of my favourites from Lancome, even if I don't like to wear it. Ginger and pepper spice up the flowers very nicely, the musk base isn't too intrusive. There's a certain smooth sweetness about it, no doubt thanks to jasmine, litchi and freesia. It's a bit more mature in my opinion, but not in a bad way. You could easily wear this to the office. My mother loves this and I like it on her, but would not wear it myself as it's a bit too feminine for my tastes.

SalinasL

I don’t know if I would love this as much as I do if it didn’t smell so similar to something my grandma wore. It smells like a watered down Bluegrass or White Linen. Not watered down in a bad way, just in a way that makes it more wearable for me personally. I think the notes according to votes section is pretty accurate, with litchi most prominent at the beginning, but then just providing a watery sweetness to the soft flowers and gentle spices. Very classic, clean but not soapy. Whatever the reason, I do love it.

mcadamsfile

This is a very unique, floral scent with a great silage. Wish they made one for men too.

JKJKjk78!

This was my signature scent for years, almost a decade, or more. Used to layer it with Cinema ( the other favourite signature) and I got a lot of compliments. Have the shower gel, body lotion as well. I have not been using lately, but now as spring is here I will be using it again.

naja2014

I wore miracle in my first night with my first love in 2009. Just had a brief reunion with him again in 2020. He told me that he remembered my scent and I smell exactly the same as 10+ years ago. Of course I intentionally put it on. It is for me definitely a sexy scent. People hardly notice it in ordinary social contexts, but it emerges and appeals to the one who at the moment has no distance from you.

UnearthlyApothecary

I love a good citrusy fresh floral and this is one of the best I’ve yet tried with a nice little spicy kick. I love the freesia and magnolia. Great silage and longevity too better then any of the others of this type I tried. This will be great for hot weather I can see myself wearing it a ton this summer

Miasha

This is a fresh and beautiful fragrance, that I really like, even if it is not among the very first priorities to buy. I have at least one small vial of it, somewhere - never had a full bottle. If I bought it, I suspect I would fall in love with it, to wear these times you don’t want to annoy anyone, nor yourself. Just so clean and feminine.
I SOOO much prefer this to Lancomes newer ”liebling” La Vie est Belle, which sure isn’t mine!!!

Khin Ei Zin

Reminds me of tissues: fluffy, soft, white tissues. She is a soft, clean, dignified woman with truly feminine manners. On me, it just smells like tissues. I am not a fan of lychee opening but when the soft dry down comes, definitely a keeper. Especially if you like the smell of tissues...

ILikeFlorals

My second favorite perfume. A clean, beautiful scent. Smells like I rolled around in a bouquet or something.

and_then_some_7

Circa 2000, my girlfriend at the time got this as a gift. Back then (before I started taking nasonex), most women's perfumes either gave me a headache or made my throat close up. Miracle did neither. I recall it being a pleasant scent.

20 years later, I'm at Macy's and I see a tester bottle. Sprayed some on a card and it's still a pleasant scent.

Rose du soir

This is a typical Summer fragrance. Very fresh, it has unexpected light green notes, like a freshly watered garden in the evening, or even a little bit like a mojito. But it doesn't really agree with my skin. Ginger, citrus and pepper are dominant, and floral notes are surprisingly weak on me. From the notes, I expected much more lychee and freesia. There's practically no sweetness, and it's a pretty sharp and sour scent on my skin until it fades. It's still pretty but I think it will work much better on others.

pinkguiTarra

This is an uplifting. fruity, floral and clean scent. It reminds me of shampoo. It doesn't last long at all and you need to reapply. It's light enough that it can be worn in close quarters. Can be worn to the office or just while doing something casual. It's a good scent. I won't be repurchasing anytime soon though because my bottle accidentally broke in my bedroom, it smelled of perfume for like a week!

raiza1990

The opening is a bit too sparkling for me, but later it turns into a nice and soft floral scent. Nothing special, mainstream and crowd pleaser, like the new idole, but not bad.
If you're looking for something feminine and inoffensive, try it.
Final note 6/10

Rana elhommosy r

Delicate scented tissue
Sophisticated scent for mature ladies

Gingerwoman

Wow this has lasted all day. I've read perfumes don't last as long on gingers and many disappear fast for me. Lancome is reliable though. This is a very inoffensive scent, pretty floral Magnolia with ginger. orange and pepper to perk you up. Does not have the slight cloying factor of La Vie Est Belle. I think it's prettier than La Vie Est Belle. I have miniatures of a few Lancome fragrances.

pennyligeia

A nice, spicy, clean scent that doesn't project much. I always got the feeling no one was aware I was wearing fragrance when I had this on, and there was no sign of it after a few hours. That's disappointing when you spend that kind of money. It truly stopped me from even entertaining the idea of rebuying.
You'll go through a bottle fairly fast of you want people to smell this on you.
Not much of a Miracle here🤨

natasha calli

Surprising enough miracle is a nice safe scent. Good for the office or daily activity. Although there are other perfumes that may be better than this, it can stand on its own in the office or in school. A fresh, clean and not an attacking scent.

sugar&spice

Well I've just ordered my third bottle of Miracle, coming back to it after about a year, and it kind of feels like a third date: I am so excited to pick it up,I've got butterflies. Could Miracle be the one for me, the love of my life?? Jesting aside, this is a superb scent suitable for any occasion or season. Impressive performance and decently priced - 50ml for £35 in John Lewis at the moment. Can't wait to wear it!

EDIT: I've had compliments from my husband and co-workers on Miracle since wearing this - bonus! :)

mevans

I get a lot of citrus and florals. I don't get the pepper or spicy notes much at all. The litchi is prominent bringing a sweetness. It's a nice perfume but the sweet and citrus together are not attracting me very much. Maybe a bit too sharp.

Eugenia Olesen

Bought another bottle of this wonderwork which doesn’t happen often. Youth in the bottle, floral purity. When it first came out, I thought it was insanely feminine and light. Still, after so many years, think so 😊 Classy and very pleasant. For me it is a symbol of Spring.

ClearD

Stingy floral. Not for me it's too strong.

jensmells

I have loved this scent since its launch. I have to wonder if I have missed smelling a reformulation. I have not purchased a new bottle from a lancome counter in a number of years as I bought a few maybe 8 years ago and stored them away in a cool, dark closet and have been going through them since. It was my signature scent for years. I am on the final uses of my very last bottle and as I prepare to buy a new bottle I read some of the reviews of this and worry that when I do I will be in for a nasty surprise. As large as my collection has become and as much as I rotate fragrance Miracle is still something I reach for regularly. It is floral without being overly powdery floral, it is spicy without straying too far into spicy or masculine. It is just ultimately feminine and fruity, floral, spicy, with a bit of an edge. It works so well with my chemistry and I have gotten more compliments wearing Miracle than any other fragrance I own.

NessS

Smelt lovely on the card but really synthetic and plasticky on my skin. Unfortunately a scrub off one for me.

pat.snickerdoodles

Today (3rd of June 2019) I bought for my third bottles of this perfume in my life LOL. I can’t stop sniff this perfume again and again. My point of view, Miracle is an elegance perfume on this earth that I ever had.

Spices and floral! That’s the words. I will make sure this perfume is always in my collections and when I wearing this..... like a Britney’s song; I hope she smell my perfume! LOL

This perfume just long lasting about 4-5 hours. I always bringing them with me to “to-up” for few times to make sure the scents keep fresh. Highly recommended! Thumbs up to Lancome xoxo

hanna.svensson

So disappointed with my new bottle of this one. It has a much much weaker smell than the scent I remember from the 00s, also it leans much more towards the sour and soapy... It must have been severely reformulated, has anyone else experienced this?

idolinam

all lancome fragrances is 10/10, but this is not my type. this smells cheap, and nothing special

Frogopolis

Miracle (from the year 2000) now smells sharp and trite to me, in the same way that other popular hyper-clean florals from that vintage do (Pleasures, Happy). I was ALL about this stuff for the first five years after it came out. Uma Thurman in her simple button-down shirt, smiling slightly while facing into a vaguely interesting sunrise, really captured the clean & pared-down fashion spirit of the time. But now? Not only is the Miracle of 2019 a shadow of its former self, but its formula has been copied in so many cheaper fragrances that it just bores me. I actually have a designer imposter roll-on oil of Miracle that I got back in the day, and I prefer it to the real thing because it’s strong and it lasts.

Miracle is perfectly nice, well made, and not as soapy and annoying as Pleasures or Happy. It’s a bit of citrus up top, with a softer ginger/pepper/lychee/rose heart and a white musk dry down. You’ll smell cheerful and impeccably groomed in Miracle, and you won’t offend even the starchiest of church matrons. Every so often, I get the urge to return to that place and Miracle is a perfect time capsule.

carminaburana

This one of the oldest fragrance that I have. It's not the first bottle as I've bought a few in time. I really liked when I first smelled it. It was early 2000. My husband bough me a bottle and I really loved it ever since. For me it's sort of floral with a spicy, fruity note. It has good staying power. It settles in a sophisticated sexy way. This my favourite Lancôme fragrance.

kvg5303

This is a nice, clean fragrance with a touch of soapiness to my nose-- and I love the fragrance out of the bottle. To my nose, Miracle has a slight aldehydic component, but Fragrantica doesn't show that in the notes. My nose could be playing tricks on me.

The notes work well together and worked great with my chemistry, however Miracle didn't have much staying power on me at all. I applied two spritzes at about 10" distance on inner forearms/wrists and one on neck/chest at about same distance. Sillage was moderate, perhaps arm's length as far as my friend and I could tell.

Within about an hour to 90 minutes, it was pretty much a skin scent and within 3 hours, I could barely detect it as a skin scent. I sprayed over it with Elie Saab EDP approximately 3 hours after applying Miracle, with barely any detectable alteration of the ES EDP.

Layering: I think layering No. 5 L'eau over or under Miracle could work. No promises, but I feel like that clean/soapiness of Miracle could work with the aldehydes of L'eau.

Overall, I am sad Miracle didn't work for me, because I love the scent.

indiglo

I think this is the only fragrance I ever threw away in the trash. I tried it occasionally over several years, and just really disliked it. Maybe the pepper didn't work on me.

jennifer.nguyen

Love this scent since I first smelled it from my aunt. The opening is fresh and fruity with lychee and freesia then pepper, musk, amber and jasmine take place. This scent is gorgeos but sadly it doesn't last long. It lasts just 4-5 hours on me and soft to moderate sillage.

seagreentangerine

Miracle Eau de Parfum is a fabulous every day perfume that makes you and everyone around feel uplifted, joyful & pretty. There is not one ounce of skank in it, it's definitely inoffensive, office friendly and sparkling - but there is some mystey to it... it wafts around after an hour in this hypnotic state of beauty which makes people want to smell you... You can see where Tresor Midnight Rose and Nuit came from when you smell this.

If you love Dior Forever & Ever, you will love this too - oddly enough, Miracle has no roses listed whatsoever... yet to my nose, this is like Musc roses and freesias after the rain, it is the most bizarre thing, I know, but Miracle smells of roses. Maybe that is the private joke of the perfumer, that's the Miracle!

meg0825

I really like the opening of Miracle. Sweet and tropical litchi, lush magnolia, and a bit of black pepper. After this fades, the freesia pretty much dominates the fragrance. This is not at all a bad scent and it's good for everyday. It's just not one of my favorites.

wee drop

Somehow I’ve missed out on Miracle until today. I’ve been on a looong hunt for a new daytime scent, Hugo Boss Femme being my current go to favourite. I’m an aromatherapist with a fairly sensitive nose, and I dislike more fragrances than I like.
After using Fragrantica as a guide to help me discover an alternative, I narrowed it down to Miracle and a few others. Today I tried Miracle, wasn’t impressed and forgot about it for 15 minutes, I then sniffed it again and immediately liked it, so I purchased it.
To me it smells soft and luxurious, with the ginger and musk giving an added edge.

Phantomias

Nothing miraculous or even unique about this one. Rather thin and not very spicy, M. has decent sillage and longevity. According to the notes there should be litchi, but I don't get it. There's a generic quality to this perfume.
It seems I've smelled this type of fragrance many times before ... This is a Lancome perfume, and I expect better from them.

rissy200

Fresh, slightly spicy floral with a soft powdery base. It’s good for warm weather. The litchi opening brings a pleasant brightness, and the ginger and pepper notes add a kick to it which I enjoy. I usually pair it with a tropical scented shea body butter which makes a nice combo.

Eternity Girl

This is the perfume I always wear if Im going to be in close quarters with people I don't know. So what I mean is I love strong perfume but if Im with people I don't know, I don't want to run the risk of my choice of perfume being offensive eg important meetings etc.
Miracle is wonderfully clean and uplifting. Its not something I wear to garner compliments. I wear it because I adore it and wouldn't want to wear overbearing scent in certain situations but because its such a lush expensive ( Lancome = quality) smelling scent, compliments come anyway.
'You smell gorgeous!!' is very often heard when wearing this. Or 'your hair smells amazing' because it really does have that just washed shampoo hair vibe. Its a massively clean scent so its awesome for very intense hot days as well. I just love it.

crea11

This is a crisp, bright floral. Unique but not offensive. I wear this at work often. I imagine this perfume to be like a "daughter" of Estee Lauder Pleasures, like this is one facet of the flower bomb that Pleasures is.
