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 - Balade à Paris Café à Saint-Germain Eau de Parfum

This budget-friendly gem swings between a delightful creamy gourmand and an utterly undetectable 'nothing scent' depending on who you ask. If you're lucky enough to smell it, it's a cheerful, sweet coffee and caramel treat, but the performance is undeniably fleeting.

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.

Also Works:

Office Date

Its agreeable, light gourmand profile makes it suitable for office and casual settings, especially given its mild projection and limited longevity. However, it lacks the gravitas for formal occasions and isn't fresh enough for sport.
