Paradoxe

Paradoxe by Prada is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2022 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot and neroli, moves into jasmine and orange blossom and dries down to ambergris, musk and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.

Dry-down

• Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
