The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

La Magnétique by Bourjois, launched in 2022, is a fragrance that encapsulates the Parisian je ne sais quoi with its blend of cheerful top notes and an enveloping base. Perfumer Alienor Massenet crafted this Oriental Floral composition to balance the vibrant mandarin orange with the floral heart of rose and jasmine. The warmth of woody notes and vanilla in the base adds a sensual, amber charm that defines La Magnétique as a modern Parisian classic.

How to wear it

Apply La Magnétique in light layers to allow its top notes to mingle with your skin before the floral heart unfolds. The base notes take time to bloom, so give it an hour for the full warmth of vanilla and woody accords to envelop you.
