The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004 by Escada, Magnetism for Men is an Oriental Woody fragrance that captures the essence of a modern gentleman. Perfumer Michel Almairac crafted this composition around saffron and leather notes, which create a warm, spicy contrast to the woody base of sandalwood and cedar. The balsamic and musky undertones add depth and complexity, making it a scent that feels both contemporary and lasting.
This fragrance blooms best close to the skin; apply two sprays directly on pulse points for optimal performance. The saffron and spicy notes are immediate but fade quickly, so rely on the rich woody base to carry you through the day.
