Designed by Lancôme in 2001, Miracle is a fresh, floral fragrance. The refreshing top notes are bright with freesia and lychee, followed by spicy, playful middle notes of ginger and pepper, softened by magnolia, all supported on sensual basenotes of amber and musk, softened with jasmine. Perky, feminine, and fantastic!

There are a number of easy to wear, floral, "pink" fragrances on the market lately (in fact, this one has another version called "Miracle Ultra Pink"). Miracle is, in my opinion, one of the nicest of the "pink" perfumes.

Miracle opens very brightly with cheerful, sweet florals (not cloying sweet, just "perky" sweet), and then slides into really appealing middle notes that are nicely peppery, but still floral, and eventually works down into a musky base. Personally, I really love the spicy middle notes, and I think that's what sets this fragrance apart from the rest of the "pink" perfumes that are out there. I find it to be perky, bright, cheerful, and maybe just a little bit cheeky (it's those peppery notes that make me feel that way, I think).

This fragrance is sometimes described as being intended for an audience of younger women, but I quite like it and I'm in my forties, so while I can see that it would appeal to young women, there's no reason it can't work for more mature women, as well. It's a nice, easy to wear, slightly sassy casual fragrance, appropriate for casual wear and, for some women, for wearing to the office (I think it would depend on your personality and what sort of workplace you're in).

I'll also admit that it did take me a few wearings to really fully appreciate this fragrance. I liked it at first (which is why I bought it, but I only got a 30ml bottle), but it took about three wearings before I really started to note and enjoy the nice peppery middle notes. They were there all along, of course, I just wasn't appreciating them. If you're interested in trying Miracle, you might consider getting a "mini" bottle if you can find one, or test first (at a perfume counter) and make sure it's "okay" on you and then do what I did and get a small bottle and go from there. Miracle actually surprised me when I came to notice and really appreciate the depth of the notes.
