Chic Magnet

I never had the pleasure of smelling Magnetism back in the day and it looks like I never will, seeing the prices a bottle goes for! But AF's recreation is a beautiful suede-glove kind of a fragrance. Saffron, leather, amber, woody musk. Simple, elegant, just delightful. There is mild sweetness in the background but nothing syrupy or cloying. Everything is balanced and in harmony. Think what you will about clone houses, but I am thankful that AF brings these discontinued gems back to life for us to continually enjoy. Even if you don't have memories of Escada's original, Chic Magnet is a fantastic fragrance on its own. The Sillage is modest, longevity quite good. Perfect for work or indoor settings in any season. I picked up my bottle on eBay, sold directly from Alexandria Fragrances, for only $29.99. I am really enjoying everything I own from this house.

My father had Magnetism when I was a kid. All though I haven't smelled it since then, I remember it was something special and to this day I can place it amongst one of the most pleasant fragrances I have smelled in my life. I got my hands on chic magnet today and boy did it trigger some nostalgic flashbacks! It isn't exactly like the OG but very close, enough to trigger that nostalgia that made me smile which was cool to experience. Sillage seems a bit low, although only tried it on a piece of paper to try upon opening. Other than that, super happy to have it in my collection!

I have a 50ml discontinued Prada Magnetisme bottle that I love soo much. The opening here is spot on 95% similar to Prada Magnetisme, the dry down is 90% close to it (in the dry down i get a tiny hint of soapiness, but its splitting hairs). I'm really really impressed by the fragrance similarities and the quality. One of the best fragrances of this house. I highly recommend Magnetic Chic if you love and miss Prada Magnetisme. Big respect.

Never had the OG but this is just wonderful. It’s soft, not too rich or dark or spicy, the saffron and musk work well together. Easy wear anywhere honestly.

Wow this smells fantastic, and is semi nostalgic. I've never smelled the original but it does smell slightly familiar. Sexy, like a better prada homme.
