What does Magnetic (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening is bright and fruity, with mandarin orange and white hyacinth. At the heart, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, tuberose, jasmine and gardenia form a dense bouquet. Vanilla, sandalwood and musk in the base sweeten it and add a warm, woody, oriental softness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards fall, spring and summer, and less towards winter. Daily wear and leisure come first, with evenings next. Most voters find it feminine.
