Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magnetism Eau de Parfum

Magnetism is divisive, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a battle between fruity sweetness and edgy green notes, a proper Y2K throwback that's both nostalgic and, for some, a touch too much. It's a statement, not a safe blind buy, so sniff before you commit.

Our Verdict - Touch Eau de Parfum

Burberry Touch is a divisive one. For some, it's a classy, clean, peppery-woody wonder; for others, it's a 'headache in a bottle' or a ghost of its former self, smelling like pencil shavings or worse. Love-it-or-hate-it, it's definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Magnetism Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its bold and at times sharp green-fruity profile, combined with impressive longevity and sillage for many, makes it a bit much for the office. However, its sexy, playful character makes it ideal for dates and casual outings, offering enough complexity for evening events too.

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its clean, polished, and woody character makes it a strong contender for office wear, with many reviewers specifically calling it out as appropriate. While described as subtle by some, others note strong sillage, suggesting lighter application for closer settings. It's too refined for sport, and its complexity can be a bit much for purely casual wear, though some find it perfect for a 'lazy day'.
