  A great fragrance typical of Francis Kurkdjian’s nose, a masterpiece! The parallel with Davidoff’s Silver Shadow is… overwhelming!

  The opening is one of the most peculiar, as indeed you don’t sense fruits or flowers, but there is a slightly sweet black pepper accompanied by a note like oakmoss/soft moss (which usually goes in the base of many fragrances but here comes in the top, which is a bit confusing). It might feel softly spicy, which is why I’m ahead of schedule in saying I see its best use for intermediate seasons. Later, I perceive the Brazilian rosewood and soft cedar notes, not so much the coffee, unless it’s a slightly toasted impression hanging around there that I perhaps confused with the woods. Then follow the woods (I can’t identify the cedar or maple notes well; just a soft guaiac wood) and vetiver, although in the end it gives the sensation of something musky, light, I’m not sure, and the cedar is still felt. A woody, softly spicy fragrance, with moderate to weak trail, lasting 12 hours, but half of that time felt close to the skin. It’s discontinued and I tested it by buying a forgotten miniature. It’s not sold very cheaply on eBay or similar sites, so I could only recommend it for Francis Kurkdjian fans.

  An autumn walk through the countryside… This fragrance is a compendium of woods that evoke the countryside in all its splendor. At first, everything revolves around maple; in fact, it seems the fragrance was created around it, but that’s not quite the case. It’s accompanied by slightly sweet, not harsh or dry, black pepper, and oakmoss with something that could be coffee, but certainly not the kind of light, punchy coffee scents I’ve smelled before. As it dries down, all the woods emerge, with cedar becoming the protagonist and finally rosewood. It’s a fragrance with a lot of character and quite complex for everyday wear. I’d recommend it for autumn and winter, as it perhaps evokes cold climates for me, and I can’t imagine smelling like this in summer or spring… The trail is moderate from the start until about 6 hours later. After that, it drops to skin-level scent and lasts another 10 hours.

  Absolutely interesting the list of notes; the perfumer behind the blend is very talented too. It’s a moderate-soft, elegant fragrance that can be used in any season. The coffee blends well with the forest and a fresh green note in the top combine with wisdom and harmony to create a refined, seductive, and quality aroma. The only drawback is its timidity in longevity and sillage. Slightly boosted, it would be a true wonder. It reminds me more of Midnight in Paris in some phase than Silver Shadow, to be honest.

  For a long time I resisted Miracle, and it’s not that it’s a bad perfume, it’s that what is currently asked for it is 100% unjustifiable. Miracle is atypical in its notes but not in its composition, one that shows two faces, and whose opening places us in a coastal autumnal forest very much in the style of North America’s East. The landscape shows in its exit the most rugged and natural part of this ecosystem, the maples surround and envelop the opening of this Lancome which reminds without being equal to creations like RSPV by Kenneth Cole, which is extremely beautiful and can be had for less than half of what is currently asked for this Miracle, however not everything is questionable… Immersed in Miracle, I feel in the middle of a solitary forest, there’s nothing there, it’s a forest alien to the human, silent and peaceful. Upon waking from the trance of the first spray, I see a cabin in the distance and head towards it, it’s when the boreal part begins to descend as it starts to unveil a beautiful sweetness that reminds of the scent of certain yellow flowers but in reality it’s the woods that have been enclosed by the coffee, the rosewood in a creamy tone adds a pleasant, slightly warm aura, the aura feels vibrant due to the black pepper note. In full dry down, the fragrance is pleasant and hard to deny, it brings a lot of confidence around and embraces like a winter fire in an intimate way without greater complexity. Miracle is a perfume capable of creating two spaces; One that places us in the distance and another upon drying, this second face is, undoubtedly, the cabin in the distance, that cozy place we want to reach after a long and cold journey through a forest at dusk, its sweet and warm woods create a halo of masculine comfort. For the above, I believe Miracle is a discreet perfume, it goes well with semi-informal and formal. Its longevity is average with medium to low projection and with a duration of 6+ its best use is in cold seasons. Miracle is worth it if by miracle you find it below $35 USD in its 75ml version.

Miracle is atypical in its notes but not in its composition, which shows two faces and whose opening places us in a coastal autumnal forest very much in the style of Northeast America. The landscape shows in its opening the most rugged and natural part of this ecosystem; maples surround and envelop the opening of this Lancôme, which recalls, without being identical, creations like Kenneth Cole’s RSPV, which is extremely beautiful and can be found for less than half of what is currently asked for this Miracle.

  Without being a huge fan of Kurkdjian (though I must admit Le Male marked an important part of my life), and without expecting much from this specific perfume (sometimes happens with discontinued ones: they aren’t as good as remembered), I must say Miracle Homme has impressed me. I came across a high-quality fragrance, romantic, nostalgic, even dreamy, and beautiful in every corner. It also seems very atypical to me. My impression is that Miracle Homme speaks of communion with the environment, of those mystical moments when we connect with a landscape and the history it holds, as if we suddenly caught its spirit over the years. A path that goes deep into the forest, city lights at night, and aerial views, a humble and solitary park with the ground covered in brown leaves, an old house in the middle of the city painted blue, a grocery store that lived its heyday several decades ago, a sleepy, lazy summer afternoon. For me, a perfume is like a novel: it tells a story and conveys sensations. In this case, Miracle Homme is pure poetry. Its opening surprises with oak moss in the foreground, seasoned with spicy notes. This green atmosphere, this aura of nature, evolves into woody tones and that subtle coffee note that gives it originality and distinction. Miracle fluctuates between sweet and green in that bold way things were done at the beginning of the millennium. I had read many negative things about its performance, so I was even more surprised that it didn’t seem bad to me at all. Moderate trail with very good longevity. It will float around you for a long time. It’s also completely versatile: it works just as well for daily wear as for special occasions. Nobody has smelled anything so beautiful. I’ve been wearing it for days and enjoying it as if I were a newbie discovering this world.

  For a long time, not all men’s fragrances had a boudoir rhythm and blues DNA; there was also a small current of woody, spicy lotions that played at updating semi-sport classics from the nineties by incorporating a bit more maturity. I don’t know if intentionally, but many of these colognes incorporated exotic notes up to that point, nuances of a very uncommon spicy sweetness and pulpy notes, almost edible notes. Maple, black pepper, cactus, teak, coffee, algae… Miracle pour Homme (by the way, it’s surprising that both Lancome, Lauder, or Cacharel haven’t released a men’s perfume in decades) was a nice, well-assembled fragrance; we’re not talking about a masterpiece, but it possessed a really evocative and dreamy blend that I miss in most current designer launches, which are much flatter not only in the aftertaste but in the magic of a perfume, the kind that takes you to imagine moments… Miracle was an autumn walk through the countryside. An eminently melancholic and introspective one. Here there’s nothing of that bold fougere type like Selva Negra, nor a bad Valkyrie riding through the mists. Nor lichens, gutters, and Celtic stone walls eaten by moss and humidity. Nor delicate nymphs or wild fauns frolicking in a pond, delicate, rebellious, sensual. The countryside of Miracle was a mirror that returned the image, almost the archetype, of a man’s solitude. It’s not a fatalistic concept, but neither is it cheerful. And just like that was the image of this nice cologne. It was paced, with a contemplative slowness. It wasn’t sad. But neither was it happy. Melancholy made into perfume, plus a typical American finish rather than French, much more functional and simple. I won’t detail the notes or evolution because I don’t remember it, but I have perfectly archived the tone and dry down in my head, something with hints of dry, spicy woods, with certain nuances of crunchy aridity, sweet and earthy, and a few edges of something you want to eat. It could perfectly be the perfume of one of those typical Stephen King protagonists in Maine, quiet, simple men, farmers, fishermen, rural teachers, carpenters, not given to extravagances and with a very marked notion of ideas like justice and good. If I found it at a good price, I wouldn’t hesitate.

  In the early 2000s, not all men’s fragrances had a boudoir, rhythm and blues DNA; there was also a small current of woody and spicy lotions that played with updating semi-sport classics from the nineties by incorporating a bit more maturity. I don’t know if intentionally, but many of these colognes incorporated exotic notes up to that point, nuances of a spicy and earthy sweetness very uncommon, almost edible notes. Maple, bell pepper, cactus, teak, coffee, algae… Miracle Pour Homme (by the way, it’s surprising that Lancôme, Lauder, or Cacharel haven’t released a men’s perfume in decades) was a pretty and well-constructed fragrance; we’re not talking about a masterpiece, but it had a truly evocative and dreamy blend that I miss in most current designer launches, which are much flatter not only in taste but in the magic of a perfume, the kind that makes you imagine moments… Miracle was an autumn walk through the countryside.

The field of Miracle was a mirror that returned the image, almost the archetype, of a man’s solitude. It’s not a fatal concept, but neither is it cheerful.

  I have an unused 100 ml bottle that I keep like a treasure. It blends uncommon accords that take you back to the 90s in an autumnal phase, comforting and seductive at the same time. I have a small sample of Nassomato Baraonda, and it has quite a similar feeling, ignoring its big differences in power and complexity. It’s a kinder, more nostalgic, and sincere version. Performance and longevity are moderate, but back then, being a sillage monster wasn’t in style. It’s a very personal fragrance; some people won’t get it, but if it falls into the right hands, this is a fragrance for a lifetime.

  Miracle Homme is a woody and slightly spicy fragrance. Its scent is based on woods, I’d lie if I could say which ones I detect, the only thing I do identify is the pepper that gives it that little spicy and aromatic touch, but in general it’s very pleasant, it’s the type of fragrance I could use without any effort. The scent reminds me of a cabin covered with a semi-sweet varnish. Its style reminds me of other fragrances from the early 20th century in the handling of spices, maybe a bit like Xeryus Rouge too, but less complex. It seems to me suitable for use in autumn and spring. There is some nostalgia and romance in its scent, maybe it brings back some memories of the time it was launched. This fragrance didn’t achieve the success of its female counterpart, which was a bestseller and remains current to this day. If Miracle Homme is a masterpiece, it has a certain part of uniqueness and I think it could have stayed on the market longer instead of being discontinued, but Lancome has never bet much on its men’s fragrances. Its longevity was about 8 hours, which is a decent time for longevity on the skin. I’ll enjoy the last ml I have left. If you can find it at a reasonable price, it’s worth having it.

  Miracle Homme is a woody and slightly spicy fragrance. Its aroma is based on woods; I’d be lying if I said I could identify them all, but I do detect pepper, which gives it that spicy and aromatic touch. Overall, it’s very pleasant—it’s the kind of fragrance I could wear without any effort. The scent reminds me of a cabin coated with semi-sweet varnish. Its style recalls early-century fragrances in their handling of spices, perhaps a bit like Xeryus Rouge, but less complex. It feels like something to wear in autumn and spring. There’s a touch of nostalgia and romance in its aroma, maybe bringing back memories of when it was launched. It didn’t achieve the success of its female counterpart, which was a game-changer and remains relevant to this day. If it’s a masterpiece, it has a certain uniqueness, and I believe it could have stayed around longer instead of being discontinued, but Lancôme has never bet much on their men’s fragrances. Its longevity was about 8 hours, which is decent on skin. I’ll enjoy the last milliliters I have. If you can find it at a reasonable price, it’s worth having.

  Pity it’s discontinued; it’s very versatile, and its scent gives you the feeling of being transported to another place.

  A gem from the nineties that I got thanks to a fellow forum member. It brings back so many memories of my youth; I used it almost daily at my first job at a perfumery. The scent is wonderful, and on my skin, my batch lasts more than twelve hours. According to Check Fresh, it’s from 2022, but since codes repeat every ten years, it could easily be from 2002. Finally, it’s in my collection, and I’ll enjoy it immensely.

  If I had to define it, I’d call it ‘heartwarming’. It’s a unique fragrance; the coffee gives it that feeling only that drink can provide: pure pleasure. The woods add comfort, and the rest gives it body. I miss it terribly; it’s hard to find again, unfortunately at least here in Argentina, and its name does justice to the miracle it is as a perfume.
