Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magnetism EDP
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 - Escada Magnetism EDP
Divain's take on Escada Magnetism follows the same juicy fruity-floral arc, but wears thinner and quieter than the original: expect roughly half the longevity and a softer projection. A fair blind-buy for the family, not a true stand-in.
