Why do sweet perfumes work so well in the evening?
Gourmand perfumes, the ones with dessert-like notes, feel warm and inviting, especially on cool evenings. The risk is that they turn sugary. BE MAGICAL avoids that by setting its sweet notes against woods. It belongs to LR’s MOOD INFUSION collection, where each perfume is named after a mood, and LR describes this one as bewitching, seductive and exciting, “the magical scent of temptation”.
LR describes three phases: a stimulating, fresh opening of bergamot, mandarin and chocolate; a heart of passion fruit, lily of the valley and honey; and a base of warm patchouli and cedarwood with the opulence of cotton candy. The chocolate, honey and cotton candy are scent notes, not food ingredients.
It makes a fun Valentine’s Day or birthday gift for a girlfriend who loves sweet fragrances.

| Family and intensity | oriental, seductive (gourmand accents); intense | LR classes it as oriental and seductive with an intense projection. |
How do you wear a sweet scent without overdoing it?
- Spray it on skin: LR explains that perfume develops best on the skin, because body warmth releases the fragrance molecules, so the scent comes through more intensely and lasts longer.
- Two sprays at most: it is intense, so less gives a better result.
- Seasons: it is at its best in autumn and winter and on cooler evenings.
- Pair it with neutral products: avoid scented body lotions that compete with the sweet notes.
- Take care with fabrics: you can also spray hair or clothing for a stronger effect, but test a hidden spot first on light-coloured or delicate materials, as the fragrance may leave marks.
