Chic Magnet
Alexandria Fragrances (2018)

Starts off with that grape cola scent, just like Magnetism. The dry down comes fast, losing the fizziness but leaving a powdery soft, lotion-like scent that's seductive and unisex. A date night, get close scent for sure.

Performance is in the light side for me. It doesn't ever feel cloying to me, so spray liberally and perhaps on clothes to help performance.

This is my first Alexandria purchase. It came to $35.40 after shipping, with no coupon code to avoid this cost. The bottle is 1 oz, and the presentation is pretty nice, but you can kind of tell it is made from a budget brand. It's nicer than most designer stuff, but it's not as nice as real niche boxing/wrapping, but I digress.

The scent itself is a good representation of the dry down of Magnetism, which is something I have yet to find in any fragrance. It definitely has the Cherry Coke vibe in the opening, but it's not quite on point. The dry down smells more like a fizzy Coca-Cola with the fruitier notes dissipating. A couple of years ago I found a clone fragrance called Estrada, I think.. I have my bottle somewhere. It did a great job copying the top notes of Magnetism, but not so much the dry down. This one does the dry down very well imo. It seems to have solid projection too. Doesn't smell cheap, but it does smell synthetic, but if you know Magnetism, it's quite a synthetic frag. I think this one is pretty good. Dua also makes a clone of Magnetism, but I haven't tried it. Not too keen on buying from Dua or Alexandria, since they're actually pretty expensive for what you get. They could easily both be charging $25 a bottle and still make profit, but they are gouging for sure. However, I did really want a solid Magnetism like smell in my collection again, and nothing has come as close as this has. Projection seems quite good, but longevity I cannot say yet.

Fantastic reproduction of Escada Magnetism for Men. The ladies absolutely go crazy for this juice, compliments galoooore. Big thumbs up, I need to stack bottles of this liquid gold.
