Roberto Cavalli Magnetic Guaiac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros. Magnetic Guaiac opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Geranium, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood and Castoreum. Roberto Cavalli's Magnetic Guaiac carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a wildcard. If you're into a sensual, slightly menacing leather vibe with woody depth, you'll love it. If you're after something traditionally wearable, look elsewhere.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Magnetic Guaiac kicks off with a fleeting spark of bright bergamot before plunging into a robust, almost animalic leather. The geranium provides a fresh, slightly green counterpoint, preventing the castoreum from becoming overwhelming, while the guaiac wood anchors the scent with a smoky, resinous finish, creating a dark and intriguing aura.
