Magnetism

by Pierre Bourdon , Steve DeMercado

Escada Magnetism is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Pierre Bourdon and Steve DeMercado. The fragrance opens with Blackcurrant, Pineapple, Melon, and Red Berries, settles into a heart of Freesia, Heliotrope, Rose, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Musk, Amber, and Benzoin.

Our verdict on Magnetism: Acquired

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.

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.

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.
