Paradigme

“I received this as a gift from a friend, a 10ml decant of the original Prada. I’ve used it a couple of times at the office, and I can say it’s office-safe. The opening can smell a bit confusing and undefined, but the drydown is pleasant, with a fresh balsamic note. 7/10, a safe blind buy.”

“The hate is a little justified, but, for what it's worth, it's still a very nice and pleasant scent. It smells clean fresh floral, with the bergamot in the opening and major geranium for the mid to dry down. It also performs well, I usually get at least 7 hours with nice projection bubble and an okay scent trail. Still, for the price, I'm sure we could do better.I hear good things about the new Le Parfum flanker though, hope to get the chance to try that one out.”

“This is just so smooth, refined and fresh. Extremely versatile, wearable in any occasion, any time of day, any season. I love the geranium heart combined with the warm amber base. The opening is a soapy bergamot that dissipates quickly, which I don't see as an issue. The only criticism I have is that it has average longevity, sillage and projection. If a flanker comes out that fixes that it's a 10/10. I bring a bottle with me to the office to reapply from time to time. 9/10.”
