Escada Magnetism for Men is another
wonderful fragrance I used to wear during my college. Magnetism has been released
in 2004., and made by great perfumer Michel Almairac. Unfortunately, Escada
decided to discontinue this special fragrance. What is so special about this
masculine Escada? When this Escada was released niche perfumery was not so
popular, yet Magnetism carries a scheme of so many niche orientals yet to be released.
Magnetism opens like a fizzy grape soda.
It is a blend of strong Iso E Super manifested by pepper and sparkling cedar, and
supported by Guaiac wood. The saffron is perfectly harmonized with strong woody
nature of Magnetism. In the background, I can sense some leathery undertones,
giving this composition dark and mysterious vibes. The balsamic base is
composed of resinous Tolu, soft but comforting amber and pale vanilla. A real
sexy, dark, vibrant clubbing fragrance. Perfectly named and perfectly matched
to its bottle.
Magnetism is an example of carefully
tweaked saffron/woody/leathery fragrance. A perfume structure almost depleted
in the designer section today, but very often found in houses like Montale. It’s
a real pity that it is discontinued, but still hoping for emerging one day.
