Magma
Magma by Andrea Maack is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon and incense, moves into rose, myrrh and saffron and dries down to patchouli, tonka bean and suede. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
