It's kind of interesting pairing up the sweetness of caramel with the tanginess of tropical fruits like pineapple, litchi, and melon, and these notes bring to the fragrance a similar overripe fruitiness found in Lolitaland or Eden. It's an interesting combo and it's really fun to finally experience this, since it's a cult classic for many people. I don't know what's happening lately with me, but I started to adore the combination of berries with sweet notes like caramel, pralines or vanilla and with a little drop of patchouli, iris or other ingredients that usually give depth to perfumes.

It’s a suffocating kind of sweet chemical smell, Maybe it’s the green notes, I’m really not a fan of green notes for the most part. I was hoping it would be more green, but there's only a hint of it at the beginning and it fades fairly quickly.It's really delightful and I think since it's a little older, one could wear it and not be lost in the redundancy of current popular fragrances. I love it bc it’s a cheapie, and a very good value for what you get, which is a totally original silage bomb and a jumbo bottle with a ton of Juice. The caramel is subtle since nicely subdued by the greens and herbs compensating for too much cloying stickiness. 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. I found the matching satin bed linen, decorated with lovely blue tits, sitting on green twigs with cassis coloured flowers.

The only Escada I owned before this was the Ibiza Hippie, and I am finding them kinda similar, but IH was way more wearable than Magnetism. This made it to my test list after a night of craving simple, summery, fruity fun scents and learning about Escada. I got it bc of the reviews comparing it to Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, which I only smelled at Sephora, so I can’t make a comparison, but at first smell they are identical, they smell cold.

I like sweet fruity berry scents and was expecting something along those lines, but I was sorely mistaken.My last rendezvous with caramel before Magnetism was disastrous; I could not scrub Hard Candy off my wrists fast enough.

All in all: do not let the Escada fruit salad association or the plum bottle detract you: this is actually a very affordable balanced scent, overall much more intricate than the Escadas of the summer collection fame and the bottle colour would convey, largely due to the important presence of greens and whites in the berry concoction. Used for over 3000 years in fragrance and beauty products, rose essence is created by steaming freshly picked flowers.

Most of the other notes are there in small doses and round off the scent: Vetiver and patchouli add darkness and a bitter note, benzoin balsamic warmth, melon and lychee bring sweetness and freesia some floral sharpness. For some reason, on my skin, all this notes make 1 giant one: rhubarb, which happens to be one of the notes that I hate from the bottom of my heart. That's the green accord that's killing this otherwise inoffensive fruity/vanilla scent for many of you.
