SOTD: The Scent Magnetic by Hugo Boss 20/04/2026
An improvement on the original from the scent line. Magnetic is an intense, ambery reinterpretation of the original DNA, designed to be more seductive and concentrated. Launched in 2022, it was composed by renowned perfumer Delphine Lebeau. A simple yet potent three note structure, focusing on a balance between exotic fruitiness & gourmand warmth. As the signature note of the entire The Scent line, the Maninka fruit here is more concentrated. It provides a sweet, slightly tart, and boozy aroma,like a mix of rum & passion fruit. At the heart you find the magnetic twist. The bran absolute adds an unusual cereal-like, nutty, slightly earthy texture. It tempers the sweetness of the fruit and gives the fragrance a masculine bite. The dry down is dominated by a rich, dark resinous vanilla. Unlike standard sugary vanilla, the husk extract is deeper & woodier, for a long-lasting, creamy finish. The upgraded edp will give you a good 7hrs on skin. It projects quite well for the first 2 hours before settling into a warm, intimate scent bubble that is very effective for close encounters. Best suited for Fall & Winter due to its density and sweetness. It is a perfect evening or date night fragrance. My Rating 7.5/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1
