About this deal

The first day on wearing it I got a compliment from my male boss saying that my perfume taste is really nice and second one from my crush who said i smell feminine (Bingo. This scent is balanced and clean while also floral and creamy, lightly sweet with a small undernote of vanilla and greenery. I and the flowery scents rarely become friends but unfortunately I have to say that for the first time a perfume has disgusted me so much! And because scents reveal your essence, you'll receive recommendations that fit your olfactory personality like a glove. I love the opening of this perfume , which is green and sweet at the same time,it got a good balance.

Smells like some kind of medicated skin condition cream with fragrance added to it, I don't know, it's very hard to describe. I'm not sure if there's a term for it, but it's when you don't realize you've progressed out of a time frame until something ignites your senses and strikes you suddenly as being hallmarked by the past. First of all, I expected sweet fruitiness from this one (as most of the Escada fragrances), but it turned out to be a fruity-green. There are fresh, fruity, milky, coconut, caramel, herbal, amber notes and many more that are beautiful on their own. An aromatic and pleasant mixture of saffron and Tolu balsam greet your nose, with whispers of plum and red wine to darken up the sweetness.I don't hate it, it has notes that I love, the powderyness of the perfume is nice, but for me it lacks a crave factor, I found it a bit generic, the performance average. I love the warmth of amber; however, the addition of the vanilla, caramel, patchouli is just nauseating on my skin.

I was hoping it would be more green, but there's only a hint of it at the beginning and it fades fairly quickly. The green leaves, cassia and basil give it the spicy herbal vibe to it , while the caramel, amber and vetiver make it woody, sweet and warm. Maybe someone won't agree, but it somehow reminded me (surprisingly) of "Angel" by Thierry Mugler, then I saw that they have many similar notes in the description. Berries, litchi and pineapple up front, slowly turns into a primarily white floral bouquet, and caramel and patchouli at the base. To me, it feels like there are two "poles" - the basil pole and the praline pole - and each one is trying to pull other notes in its direction.The opening is a fruit cocktail splash and a generous serving of sugar with a subtle (on me) green note in the background which relieves it from being sweet-on-steroids. I am wearing it right now and I plan on wearing it again tomorrow at my mothers early Mother's Day lunch and dinner. I wore it to my retail job and one day I received a compliment from a lady saying how good it smells, I remember that day so well.

I must say that it was extremely unique and easily recognizable by those who know what it smells like. Finally a deluge of benzoin, vanilla, vetiver, caramel, sandalwood, amber, patchouli and musk soars in to sharpen the olfactory experience. It gives me the ultimate feeling of freshness, juiciness, greenness - all that you would expect from the nature at the beginning of summer - only multiplied by 100! The fruits are the glue between facets of fresh and sweet: juicy ripe berries still attached to softly fresh green leaves. Walking on a warm cobblestone path in some swanky seaside resort town, warmth on skin, breeze through hair.While it does not have the same sillage as Angel, it is possible to get a little too spray happy with Magnetism. Me encanta para el día en el invierno debajo de la ropa, creo que para el verano puede ser muy intenso porque siento que con el calor del cuerpo se activan mucho las notas. One of the best features of this perfume is that it is not overwhelmingly sweet or sugary so it doesn't smell too juvenile. There is nothing sweeter than coming across a perfume you've forgotten about and had dismissed then realizing you love the crap out of it. I have such a soft spot for the years 2000-2005, and this is a perfect snapshot of their youths' energy.

I used to be faithful to Magnetism for many years before I switched to more oriental style perfumes, but now I am thinking it's time to fall in love with this one all over again. Rich, fruity, but not cloying, behind the fruits hide notes that make you inhale it again and again. As an aficionada of the Escada summer scents, the hard to find tropical punch in particular, I had this preconception of a sweet gourmand juicy tropical fruit salad dosed with white rum put in a perfume bottle.Midway through wearing it, however, some thing in that note reminded me very vaguely of Magnetism and I decided I no longer liked princess for that reason. maybe not ideal for a 15 year old, but it just had this fruity brightness, and it was sweet and caramel dripping yet had these crisp green overtones that kept things fresh. ALL I smell is a sharp grassy smell that honestly kind of burns the nostrils, and underneath maybe a hint of some kind of unpleasant citrus.
