This Fragrance Smells Like…
Paradoxe Intense smells like a white floral bouquet dipped in sugar. On the first spray, you get an explosion of vanilla, and the sweet femininity of orange blossom, then as the scent warms, the glowiness of amber shines through and intensifies the more feminine side of the Prada Paradoxe.
Top notes are Pear, Neroli and Bergamot.
Heart notes are Moss, Jasmine, and Neroli Essence.
Base notes are Ambrofix, Serenolide, Amber, Bourbon Vanilla, and Vanilla.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
This Perfume Smells Similar To:
If you are a fan of popular fragrances such as Valentino Voce Viva, Armani Si Passione, and Flowerbomb Midnight by Viktor & Rolf, you may find a similar scent in Paradoxe Intense. This fragrance is created by yet another major fashion brand, offering you the chance to experience everyday luxury.
The Paradoxe scent draws inspiration from the values of reinvention and authenticity that Emma Watson advocates. Paradoxe Intense takes this concept a step further by intensifying every aspect of its scent and design.
However, instead of going over the top, Prada has chosen to intensify the softness of femininity with gentle white florals and the sweetness of vanilla. The signature Prada pink perfume color has also been intensified to reflect the stronger scent inside. Overall, Paradoxe Intense offers a delicate yet intensified fragrance that embodies femininity and luxury.
Is Paradoxe Intense Unisex?
It’s uber-feminine and marketed towards women; however, vanilla is known as one of the most attractive notes to men, so if you like it, wear it – don’t worry about the gender.
What’s The Longevity Like?
One thing I truly appreciated about this fragrance is its impressive longevity. The scent lasted on my skin for around 5 hours, allowing me to confidently wear it throughout the day and into the evening without worrying about reapplication.
What’s Special About The Bottle?
Prada always pays attention to detail, and the packaging of the Paradoxe Intense fragrance is no exception. The sleek and minimalist triangle logo bottle design is a testament to the brand’s sophistication and adds an extra touch of elegance to the overall experience.
You’ll notice this perfume is a deeper pink to show the stronger Paradoxe scent inside. I was also pleased to see it’s refillable too – so less waste!
Values?
A single 50ml bottle of Prada Paradoxe and a 100ml refill helps avoid the use of 40% less materials in total as opposed to three 50ml bottles of Prada Paradoxe; this includes 29% less glass used.
