Wow, I can't believe how similar (they look identical, or almost) the bottles of old Magie and Hypnose are! Of course, this in and out of itself is not something groundbreaking - many brands have used the same bottle for several of their perfumes. But what really surprised me was not only are the two very different scents, but that they are of such a different era, it seems so strange for them to share a bottle. Plus, I hate the bottle of Hypnose and can't believe Magie came in it!

The bottle from Magie is a classical Lancome presentation, among other beauties. It was very hard to be produced, but now ... it seems that Lancome succeded.
