Escada Magnetic Beat

I found an almost full 100ml bottle of this forgotten little gem in my late mother’s collection. I presume she received it as a gift from someone who didn’t know her very well because it’s totally not her style, and I don’t remember her ever wearing it. (She belonged to the Opium & Poison generation.) As other reviewers have observed, this is a ‘young’ fruity-floral fragrance, with just enough spice to keep it interesting and not too generic/predictable. It was launched just a few years after my favourite Escada fragrance, Sentiment, and they are actually rather similar, as they’re both dominated by (obviously synthetic) blackcurrant, violet and iris. The main difference is that Magnetic Beat is sweeter, with lots of vanilla and almond - it smells like cotton candy or marshmallows! On the other hand, Sentiment contains more white flowers. My mother’s bottle of Magnetic Beat must be around 15 years old. The scent is rather soft and stays close to the skin. It’s a nice inoffensive everyday scent.

My favorite Escada scent, hands down. Sentiment(edp) is my second fave, love the iris note in both of these. MB is the only other Escada fragrance that doesn't disappear on my dry skin in an hour's time. I love the almond note & black currant(one of my fave notes of all time)blended with the gently sweet flowers & soft sensual base with just the right amt. of everything- not too much musk, amber or vanilla. One of my faves for summer because its only lightly sweet, never heavy. It is a light fresh oriental on my skin & it always elicits positive attention from my husband which is fantastic because he's very picky with my perfumes. It puts him in a particularly amorous mood so I'm taking advantage of the allure factor. hehe ;-D Highly recommend for use on a summer night or first date if you want to leave an indelible memory in the mind of a lucky guy!

I adore both Magnetism and Magnetic Beat. It seems to me that Magnetic Beat is just the EDT version of Magnetism, and the slight difference is in the opening notes - in M.Beat they are juicier and lighter but the drydown feels the same as in Magnetism. And also M.Beat is not as strong and overwhelming as Magnetism is. However, Magnetic Beat is sexy, sensual and flirty fragrance that can be worn all year long not only on everyday occasions but even in special and intimate moments, which makes it best friend among the fragrances. :-)))

This fragrance is simply the best!!! IT is so close to the perfume Magnetism.....but only better!!! Too bad it has been discontinued... I will purchase it for as long as I can find it. It is not a very strong fragrance...it is very sweet.LIKe mangoes and vanilla. I love it. I go through a bottle every three months!! I have been wearing it for 7 years now... I love it so much I can't bear to go without it.

Love this fragrance. It has a little spice, but it is sweet and refreshing. One of the few spicy fragrances I would dare wear in the summer. Tracked it down and am receiving more this week! I ran out and couldn't locate anywhere except online.
