Latest Reviews of Magnetism for Men

This is an unusual blend of mostly dark berries and a little bit of fountain pen ink. It has a very warm woody base that's slightly powdery. A mature fragrance for sure, but not my type.
Magnetism For Men is unique in its own bizarre way. If you fell in love with it before it got discontinued, there isn't much out there that's similar. John Varvatos OG comes to mind, only because of the dark fruits up top, but Magnetism isn't as sweet.
Projection is moderate at best, but longevity is good.
Masculinity Level: Travolta in Get Shorty.

Nice impression of cool mint somewhere inside a structure that is filled with hick-ups and dissonants. It smells like 'sweat smelled backwards' but im not exactly sure what I mean by that, just like this scent is full of confusion.

One of the best unique and on its own way .Not resemble any other fragrances.

Was skeptical at first, smelling it off of a testing strip in a store versus wearing it directly; the latter is far more informative and accurate for me, as the testing strip doesn't do it justice versus beholding it on my skin. And I sometimes get the impression of this one smelling a bit like Coca Cola (in a good way!!), a quality that made Dark Obsession by Calvin Klein such a favorite of mine.
It is a scent for 20-30 somethings, IMO. Discontinued but worth a sample.


Update. My sample is good and this does in fact resemble grape soda in the opening but then dries down to the smooth and soft Dreamer scent, minus any tobacco.

It is quite strong at the begining. dramatic and artistic.i love the sweet and powdery notes in it.a little heavy for summer days.I wore this one in spring / autumn evenings.becoming for romantic moments.
Wonderful to wear when you have become a bit tired of more bold and daring your colognes.in my opinion EM is a nice scent an excellent choice for present as it is not so generic or to lack personality.

7,5-8/10

Magnetism goes on sweet, and does in fact remind me of vanilla Coke but only for a moment. Mercifully, it is not as syrupy or foody as either A*Men or Le Male, both of which I find too bombastic to wear. Magnetism very soon becomes intensely floral, with spicy and powdery notes in the background. It's kept from smelling precious by a very forward animalic musk, which I suspect accounts for Magnetism's reputation as a sexually suggestive scent.
A dusky amber joins the sweet floral notes at Magnetism's heart, while the powdery note resolves into a smooth sandalwood. The much-discussed saffron note in Magnetism is extremely subtle to my nose. There's just enough to give the sweeter spices a sharp edge. With all the talk about grape jelly I was worried that Magnetism would reveal the nasty, synthetic Jolly Rancher hard candy note that ruins many new designer scents for me. Luckily for me I haven't found it here. Magnetism holds out for several hours before settling into it's well executed, if not very original drydown of powdery musk, amber, vanilla and woods.
Unlike many previous reviewers I don't find Magnetism shocking, or even challenging. Amidst the shelves full of castrated clean scents and sugary gourmand goo, Magnetism comes as a relief, but it won't displace Guerlain's Habit Rouge or Boucheron's Jaïpur Homme EdP among my favorite spicy sweet orientals.


5/10

In the same clan (despite some notable differences) with the various hyper synthetic/sensual Le Male, One Million, L.Lempicka Au Masculine, Body Kouros (despite its incensey background), Luna Rossa Prada, Black Soul Ted Lapidus, V&A Midnight in Paris, 212 Sexy Man Herrera etc, etc, Magnetism For Men is a mysterious talky fresh/warm ambery fragrance with all that amount of spices (pepper and nutmeg i suppose) fruits (secret berries??), watery musk/lavender, resinous plants, dark woods and balsams. The dry down (some talk about a cola sticky vibe and i agree about it) is supremely talky with soapy and leathery (suede) accents and could be undeniably appealing to the younger teenagers crowds. What is really appreciable about this fragrance is that the sweetness is utterly under control and never cloying, on the other side the juice, in spite of its appeal, is too much close to a sort of bath foam or to a talky deodorant kind of style. Not bad, indeed one of those better appointed in its genre.
