sunkissed, flirty, but a little restrained
I listened to reviewers and bought the fragonard. Yup, 95% similar.
I was so excited to try this but it smells just like another chloe edp or delina la rosee.. just another fresh feminine rosy scent still very pretty but nothing ground breaking
I smelled this out of the bottle and was completely unaware it was intended to be a feminine scent. It smells so fresh clean and bright. The floral notes are airy not heavy. The lychee fruit adds a sweet element as that is well measured. The pepper and amber appear more as it starts to dry down for me but add to the fragrance in a way that I feel it’s completely unisex. It’s simply a stunning fragrance.
Just. Gorgeous. Sweet rose, without being sugary or candy. Fresh, without being so light it disappears. Fruity, but not shampooey. It's a beautiful take on a popular scent profile that doesn't feel like a copy or a repeat. I've seen people say they don't think it lasts well, but I've found it lasts beautifully. There's a lot of warmth to this fragrance and I think it works year-round. I've taken to wearing this during the day and the extrait at night when I'm going out for both, and I absolutely love the combo.
Really bright and strong rose, really similar to Delina la Rose and Fleur musc by Narcisco Rodriguez-just better when it comes to longevity, and its sharper, and it has much more depth. This smells a bit perfumy-in a good way. Great perfume, feminine, clean and classy.
in the same realm as delina, but feels even more elegant and luxurious imo, full-bottle worthy!
Been wanting to try this and finally did, and I like it but my wallet thanks GOD I don’t need it. It’s pretty but it’s a lot like Chlóe, which I wore briefly.
I did another Luckyscent haul, and the standout was Lust in Paradise. This one completely surprised me. It has such a unique character. As it dries down, the pink pepper softens into a beautifully warm, luminous floral that almost gives the impression of rose, even though there isn’t one in the composition. It’s elegant, radiant, and incredibly addictive. What impressed me most is the performance. Very few fragrances last on my skin, but this one stays present with a beautiful, consistent scent from start to finish. This is an absolutely stunning fragrance and, without question, the standout of my haul. Full bottle worthy.
My favorite perfume! It’s light, fruity floral with a summer vibe, not too sweet, not too fruity just perfect, you smell expensive and effortless pretty, it’s really a gem, I wish I could smell like this everyday but it’s expensive
Love how fresh and inviting this smells. It's soapy but not aldehydic, it smells like a fruity floral breeze. I'm giving this sample size I got to my mom because it would fit her perfectly and I prefer sharper scents. This is a lovely smooth sweet scent.
I love this! It’s such a nice blend of floral and fresh. This smells exactly like Dreams by Coach to me. I’m wondering if Dreams is supposed to be a dupe. Anyways it’s amazing!! Soft and feminine. A perfect summer scent.
Really pretty, airy and fresh rose and peony scent! I understand the similarities to Delina but it is different enough to call Lust in Paradise a cousin rather than a sister. The dry down is giving elegant and luxurious femme princess but I understand the reviews saying that it's quite overpriced for what it is. I think LIP is a crowdpleaser and props to her for that but I personally would need a little more time to feel convinced to purchase a full bottle.
This is so pretty! I feel like a girly pink fairy princess wearing it. Lychee, peony, and pink pepper are my favorite notes ever, so I adore this.
Divine. Clean girl, princess vibe. Airy, flirty. Wedding fragrance worthy. I sprayed it once in the store and, my boyfriend who’s not into perfumes, became obsessed. So much so that he ended up buying it for me
Look, I can't even be ironic about it at this point: I just like tropical florals. Lust in Paradise is incredibly fun. It's floaty, it's swoony, it's fruity, it's hot pink bougainvillea shining in the clear blue air. Summer in a bottle. Strong enough to be very legible, just layered enough to hold my interest, with a little bit of an amber-musk base that feels cheerfully sexy. It's summer! It's party time! Yes, it's the umpteenth release by a niche firm that swears it's not like all the other niche firms, and yes I'm sleep deprived and a little crazed right now, but I would swear Lust in Paradise is a gem. It's like Beyond Paradise but maybe even better? This is, in other words, what mainstream perfume *should* be, but isn't. It's normie fun, but it's *actually fun* as opposed to pennypinching weaksauce disappointment. It is, in fact, actual Lust, in motherfucking Paradise! Very feminine, of course. Very pink. Synthetic, but honest about it.
I’m in love with this perfume. Got a sample and purchased a full bottle immediately. A sweet, spicy lychee fragrance. The radiance is mid to broad, and the longevity is around 4+ hours. Due to the rarity & pleasant scent, I’d say it’s worth the price point (while acknowledging it’s priced a lil up there.) People keep comparing it to Delina and I feel like you’d be disappointed if you listen; it’s more similar to Lancôme Idole intense. 10/10
...and the doors of paradise opened and the heavenly scent of something fresh, sweet and floral filled the air... Gorgeous. If you love scents such as Armani's Pivoine Suzhou or Dior's Blooming Bouquet but have always wished they were just a tad more longlasting/projecting this is IT. The fruitiest piony without heavy basenotes. Dewy, slightly fruity, fresh and uplifting. This is more romance than lust, I can completely understand the abbreviation/nickname Paradise. If you're on a budget I strongly, STRONGLY (!) suggest getting Fragonard's Grenade Pivoine. I have both and the similarities are overwhelming, despite the differences in the note pyramides here on Fragrantica/other perfume sites. Personally I got the Fragonard first and almost burst out laughing when I first tried the Ex Nihilo - the similarity is more than obvious. Still, I won't regret my Ex Nihilo, it's like a more concentrated version of the Fragonard, one spray goes a long way.
It's decent but goes somewhat sour/sharp on me. I wouldn't say I smell bad but nothing I care to smell like. Way overhyped IMO
This is a beautiful fragrance, very very floral. I get a heavy rose note in this, maybe a little gardenia though neither are listed as so. It's very feminine.
its a nice perfume, but it's way too expensive for what it is. I have some that smell like it, and last longer and project.
@FrauMcLeod this isn’t the listing for the extrait
Sampled this and it is soooo pretty! There is something rosey in there. But it’s not knocking you over the head with rose like Delina. This is a soft, playful, hyper feminine scent. It is an extrait so be careful of over spray. The scent was loud in the room on three sprays. Every expensive, but it’s a rosey scent I actually like. Doesn’t make me think of the elderly the way Delina did.
One word, wooow! This is a beautiful fresh, airy, rosy floral scent. I understand why this is considered a clean girl scent, love this so much. Easy to grab for every occasion and attention grabbing.
Ok. I have read the reviews. And they are DETAILED. My review will not be, as my nose is not as trained, as some. I get a soapy, VERY floral, light and airy BOMB. At first I hated it. Then I let it sit on my skin. Holy hell. It changed into the most gorgeous notes. NOTHING LIKE DELINA AT ALL. It’s an ethereal, flowing, princess like fragrance. Yet with a more mature (not “grandma like”. (I HATE THAT PHRASE). Not because I’m 57. But mature does not equate with “grandma”) take on the many flowers. Ok. Rant over. Will someone under 29 like this? Probably not. But, there’s always hope. I, much more mature, love it and am getting a full size bottle ASAP! I am now wondering about the Extrait version. Is it better? The same? Lacking? I need to know! Please advise.
A floral, fruity, fresh and vibrant fragrance. I can say it feels cheerful and uplifting. It offers a bright, tropical and joyful combination of rose with crisp, juicy fruits, making it very easy to wear and well balanced. The scent is genuinely pleasant. Because of its cheerful and energetic character, it is easy to wear during spring and summer and works well for everyday use. However, I did not find it worthy of becoming a signature scent. It felt quite ordinary to me and I did not get a unique or striking effect from it. It has similarities to both Chloe EDP and Delina DNA, but I think it is different from both. It feels like a wetter, brighter, more cheerful and more vibrant version of that style. There are already many fragrances that combine rose, peony and fruity notes like lychee in a soft and radiant way. Since it does not have a particularly unique profile or very strong performance, I am still undecided about whether I would buy it again.
Very pretty, very pricey peony and litchi goodness. I will say, as someone who grew up in the 00's this profile feels very familiar. It does remind me of Chloe or Chloe roses and something like that will definitely give the same vibe as this. In the dry down it actually reminds me of Paul Smith Rose and a perfume I bought in Kyoto years ago from a brand called Yojiya. I personally would go for the cheaper options of this scent profile but if this speaks to your soul then go for it.
Soft, pretty, feminine, pink rose-peony. Kind of smells like a rose body cream. I can see why people love it but it’s not the style of rose I prefer.
Such a bright and sunny perfume, I need this in my life! Just when I swore off buying more, I fell in love with this beauty. Yes, it is floral, warm and very much addictive. It projects, and people will be following you trying to sit closer to you. This perfume literally smells like happy sunshine in a bottle. I just ordered a 10ml vial, but I do think this is full bottle worthy.
for me if paradise smells as good as this, it is more "lost in paradise" not wanting to get back.
