Which Should You Buy?

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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Counterplay EDP
Counterplay offers a refined interplay of fresh green and warm woody elements, making it a versatile choice for those seeking a modern unisex scent.
