Escada Magnetism for Men by Escada

Indro

This is what we Indians call it pure "Agarbatti"(Incense stick used to be made of Agarwood in ancient & Medieval India,the Maharajas and Emperors used to douse their clothes with the incense smoke whose effect used to last for hours even days)Magnetism is in the lines of those essence,full of mysticism.This is actually about the drydown like Joop Homme but has similarities with Ambre by Baldessarini.A nice perfume.

it's all about the drydown. let the scent rest/settle on your skin for 20 min and then smell it!!! this is the scent that drives ladies crazy!!!

I'm usually not a fan of powdery scents, but Magnetism's powder power is quite alluring and worthy of an exception. Its cola and vanilla accords make my head spin. The drydown is just amazing--goes on and on for hours. Wow!

This one is really great. One of my tops, and one of the best leather fragrances I have tried...

Cassiano

This is a stranger cologne!
I have never seen a scent change so much during its evolution like this one.
The opening is dreadful! The mix of pepper and saffron is not pleasant.
I think it's not a kind of good smell to be felt... :o(

BUT, after 15 minutes, it starts to become a delicious scent! It's like a subtle "vanillayummy", which exhale and makes you feel it all the time.

It doesn’t leave a track while you walk but makes you feel comfortable, conscious that you are really perfumed.

The lasting is good. And the bottle is very beautiful. It looks like an stoned amethyst!

Indeed, there is a metallic undertone hidden in this scent, but in an erotic way. I fell in love with it the first time I tried it. The perfect scent for Central European dandies of the 21st century, but only as long as the weather doesn't become too warm.

PS: My bottles seem to have gone bad. Anyone who owns this one please read my entry "Rotten fragrances" under "General Perfumes Talk." Thanks!

It´s sweet, mysterious, dark and spicey.
It develops during a long time. Great longevity. Really nice.

When you spray this on it initially smells A LOT like Baileys Irish Cream (some kind of liquor), so if you're just out of Alcoholics Anonymous, do yourself a favor and stay away from this. I mean it.
After about 10 minutes it calms down to a calm and warm vanilla-type scent. Not too strong and at least on me it's not very long lasting.
I like this one, really.

Yeah, a lot of the Vanilla Coke type smell, but in a good way. It is a bit feminine, but not so much that a man would feel uncomfortable wearing it.

In fact, to me, it smells like a male version of Sweet Desire by Realities Liz Claiborne.

andy

gotto love these wild card scents they ALWAYS make things intresting this is NO conventional fragrance i gotto say it changes constantly and keeps things intresting perfect for dating and clubbing

andy

its gota cola vibe but starts spicy and in the opposite order from virtually all scents but it gets sexier as time goes on, its long lasting and a nice woodsy spicy masculine aroma with a GREAT musk note and the florals help blend the entire matrix.


there are LOTS of notes in this stuff that are not listed here, but the entire drydown is very mysterious and a unique sensual scent

this is one of the phenomenal scents that smells amazing and can play tricks on the wearer, giving one sexy aroma and then keeping anotehr close to the skin and smelling like one thing then the other and keeping it intresting

gotto say this stuffs well worth the money im glad i got it

Escada MAGNETISM for men is confidence in deep purple crystal. The design, like the scent, like the man who wears it, is truly hard to resist. Notes of saffron, leather, musk and amber create a very positive charge.

smells very seductive and passionate. good choice for a date. However, make sure u try it on ur skin first, cuz this one can easily change depending on ur skin

I smelled this on my male friend a few days ago. Well let's just say that it was not my cup of tea. Sure I can imagene the right type of man pulling it off but it still I think that it smelled abit like washing up liquid. But it actually became better later on and it didn't smell as sharp as in the beging. OK but not my fave scent for a guy =). But I guess it depends on who wears it of course.

vin570

Wow! This has a really good smell and reminds me wine! And it's very sexy! Will make girls' heart beat faster.

noddoc

This is very sexy fragrance, women adore this one.

falovalo

This is one of the best men's fragrances. It's sexy and subtle, and I don't find it to be a cliched smell at all. The wood notes don't overwhelm, everything just blends together perfectly.

LaPD

I was intrigued by the reviews saying it had cola notes. I really liked that in the opening...

But then it turned flowery... and quite feminine.

Not for me.

Rouu

i've pought my friend that fragrance and now he's craaaaazy about it.. WILD HE FEELS SO WILD WHEN HE WERA IT

ScottyVizz

Very delicious fragrance. I get a cola-type note when wearing it. Sensual, masculine and feminine at the same time? hmmm

bamacharm

I rate this one in the top 10 out of approximately 100 fragrances I own. I see the notes listed but I believe that they are missing a few.

The sap from the tolu balsam of Peru is used in Magnetism. The dried resin has cinnamon and vanilla accords, which in combination, produce a floral note. Also included is pink pepper and saffron. When combined with the sandalwood and cedar, I get a red wine essence along with the floral note mentioned above. In the drydown, I get a soft amber and leather.

In my opinion, this is a high quality, romantic fragrance. Some here say it is for casual attire but I wear it with a suit at the office. It is definitely different from the fresh aquatics, citrus based fragrances, and heavier amber based offeringss that dominate the market. I highly recommend that you try it.

I usually compliment my colognes with a body splash using a couple of spritzes on the shoulders, chest, back, and wrists. For Magnetism I use Japanese Cherry Blossom body spray. The combination is simply awesome. Say what you want about Japanese Cherry Blossom not being masculine...blah, blah, blah. Most body splashes are unisex and in such a weak concentration that they never dominate anyway. Trust me guys, the ladies will want to eat you up when wearing the aforementioned combination.

After 1 full wears of this one I think I grow bored of it. Too one dimensional to me. But then I wear it again tonight and love it again. For me, this one has really good sillage, my friend sitting on my motobike tell me she can smell this scent like 5 times which never happen to any of my fragrances before.

This one is classified as oriental-woody, but thank god it is not smoky at all. Well I would say that it is oriental balsamic, because it is very "oily": when I smell it I think of some nice indian essential oils like sandalwood, pepper oil and vanilla. It smells rich, it stays also close to the skin, but still long lasting. It is an oriental, but it is great in spring or summer nights rather than winter nights, because it also has some tropical notes which smell good when it is warm weather outside: I imagine myself on a beach with a cola cocktail or eating a nice ice cream.

It's so true about the cocacola effect of this one. I wish the strong "gas cocacola" effect that you get right from the beginning of this scent could stay longer. The dry down smell kinda like Cacharel's Amor Amor for women, softer and more masculine though. IMO, this can be worn year round and in any occasion. This is so inoffensive and enjoyable. I've seen some comparision to Le male and A*men here and there which I have to strongly disagree. Le male and A*men are food, cake sweet which to me is "for winter only". This one however is soft-drink sweet which can be worn in any season. It's really hot at my place today and this "coke-feel" scent really shine.
Really nice!

jonovon

Yes, it's casual AND a good scent.
Magnetism gets the atention of whomever happens to be around. An elegant and misterious scent. In one word: SEXY.

If you use it wisely - no more than 2 sprays - it won't overpower the olfactive glands of the passers-by. Think on how Joop! Homme, even being delicious, is a burden when it comes to this issue. And even without being overpowering, longevity is excellent: much more than 5 hours on me with those 2 sprays.

Its diet cola-like smell must be my favorite gourmand. More wearable and well-finished than A*men. In the drydown the Light Coke gets woody and sandy. I've realised that women tend to like sweet scents on men, and I think the reasonable ones would prefer Light Coke to dirty brownies. (Hm, I hope no cereal bar scent appears during my lifetime.)

That's why Magnetism is becoming bit by bit my favorite night time perfume.

If I were to dissect Magnetism into its component notes, I'd say just about all I smell is wood and vanilla. Doesn't sound very creative, but Magnetism is a very unique men's fragrance. After the woody/peppery top notes fall off, it really mellows out, blends in with the scent of my skin and is very discreet. Just like Equipage, Signoricci and Monsieur de Givenchy, it's one of those fragrances you don't really "smell" on another person but rather catch the essence of when he or she walks by. These have always been my favorite type of fragrances, and Magnetism is an excellent fragrance.

albania9diadem

Very sexy and my girlfriend likes it. She has Magnetism for women so we match. It's kind of powdery and sweet and it's long lasting. And the dry down is absolutely wonderful. One of the best colognes out there.

Fragrance of Escada Magnetism is so mysterious. It changes surprisingly after a dry-down as might have an unliking impression (for some people) at first spray due to an intense blast of pepper and saffron; My wife found it a perfect match with my body chemistry. And the words were hard to find for her to express the feel of this fragrance when mixed with my body odour; She expressed.. "So romantic! It’s not just a perfume it’s a magic hidden in fragrance bottle".

The aphrodisiac fragrance (note: SCHINUS) for spreading an initimate romantic aroma. Lasts 5+ hours, great sillage and a moderate fragrance that is most suitable for evening / night ROMANTIC wear but not bound to.

chocolateguy

Stand out of all other very average Escada men scents, this one, so special, attractive, so ascentric, so thrill, so sexy. It's good for night time, totally useful when you get into a bar, someone'll be watching you, believe me.

panayoto

in the beginning it's quite feminine and smells like champagne. it reminds me of cavalli for women. it is sweet but as time goes by it becomes unmistakably masculine. great for nights out. too sweet & dark for the office

ticalau

Indeed a bit sweet but very sexy fragrance! Just great for night occasions... i realy like that u can feel the leather from top notes 2 the base notes! Nice one! ;)

Shyhim

Yeah I love it, esspecially after few moments after taken it on. A little bit feminine.

promoscanner

Excellent scent. Smells a little feminine at first, but as you wear it, it becomes a little more earthy and spicy. Great anytime, day or night.
