Which Should You Buy?
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.
No. 42 mirrors Giorgio Armani Si's blackcurrant-rose-patchouli formula closely on the opening but the vanilla-patchouli base thins out fast, missing the original's rich, chypre-like depth and famous longevity.
