Magnetista
by Oriflame
Magnetista presents a soft, bittersweetly powdery perfume with prominent notes of black currant, vanilla, and sandalwood, creating a playful yet elegant aura. The opening features a creamy mix of black currant and pink pepper with a hint of neroli, leading into a gently floral heart of jasmine and peach blossom, before settling into a smooth, musky vanilla base. While some appreciate the balance and richness—comparing it to Dior Addict—others find it underwhelming, with a short duration on skin despite lasting up to 10 hours for some. The scent is particularly beloved at night, with a cold-lactonic, slightly chilled mid-phase that some find refreshing and intimate.
Pros
- +The elegant, balanced blend of sweet, floral, and woody notes gives it a classy, wearable quality, especially for evening wear.
- +The scent has a strong sillage and a noticeable unique character, making it attractive to others on a personal level.
- +It is highly regarded as a cost-effective choice, particularly praised for its quality relative to price.
Cons
- −Many users report it lasts only 2–3 hours on skin, significantly shorter than the longest durations reported.
- −The scent can be divisive, with some disinclined by its initial bittersweet or powdery character, which may feel understated or diffused.
- −Despite its appeal to some, it lacks standout originality, with several noting it doesn’t stand out compared to more acclaimed releases from the brand.
