What does Magnetism smell like?

Blackcurrant, melon and pineapple give the top a juicy freshness, while magnolia, iris and rose in the heart are softened by green notes. In the base, vanilla, caramel and amber sweeten the scent, with sandalwood and musk staying in the background. The overall impression is floral, sweet and slightly powdery.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also suits everyday wear. It reads feminine, and many also find it modern. Yohji Yamamoto Yohji and Hervé Léger Hervé Léger have a close profile.
