Escada Magnetism is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Pierre Bourdon and Steve DeMercado. Magnetism opens with Red Berries, Redcurrant Leaf, Melon, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Caraway, Almond Blossom, Green, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Escada's Magnetism carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

About

Magnetism opens with a blast of sharp, juicy redemption from blackcurrant, pineapple, and red berries, quickly followed by an unexpected green, almost herbal clash of basil and caraway. As it settles, a sweet, creamy heart of caramel and vanilla emerges, grounded by warm amber and musky woods. It's a complex, ever-evolving scent that flits between vibrant fruit and intriguing depth, with a surprising fresh aspect throughout.
