Prada Paradoxe Intense

I am in love with this fragrance! ❤️ Absolutely the best from paradoxe line!

Buy it. Right now. Don’t listen to influencers who call you basic for loving the Paradoxe line. Paradoxe Intense is… *chef’s kiss*. My teenage daughter who only wears Sol de whatever body sprays steals this from me all the time. And I’m fine with it! It is GORGEOUS!

I really dont know why but go smell le male le parfum and tell me if its the same or not..😳

An intoxicating spicy floral with vanilla and pear nuances. Love it! It lasts forever on me and the drydown reminds me a LOT of idole now by lancome which i also have and really really like.

I like it on first spray / on a paper tester - but it’s not for me. It’s very strong, and I don’t like that much projection. And the dry down loses all the top notes I really enjoyed - and I don’t get any vanilla, just a weird musky smell. I like it in concept but I think it’s just not my taste. Not objectively bad, if you think you’d like it, try it.

I blind bought this by looking at the notes and hype around it and when I smelled it...I became so disappointed. I tried to like it multiple times, but I just couldn't get myself to enjoy it. It feels very sharp on the nose, aggresive and has a very harsh citrusy feel to it which I dislike. The bottle is gorgeous tho, looks beautiful on the vanity but that's it.

I really wanted to like this, and I thought I would, considering I'm a vanilla and amber lover, but I just can't smell these two notes at all. It surprised me to see people call it syrupy sweet, amber, vanilla, because I love these types of fragrances, but this... It just smells very sour and even nauseating to me. I see other users share the same sentiment, so I know it's not just me. The dry down is alright, it becomes a bit softer, not something I particularly enjoy, but I don't mind it either. But the opening is so sour it stings my nose. I've tried it a couple of times now, but it's just so disappointing. If you love and wear this perfume, all power to you, but I just can't bring myself to like it, at least not on my body. It's also not a very unique fragrance in my opinion, it feels like I've smelled many similar ones.

This literally smells 95% the same as YSL MYSLF Le Parfum.

I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my bottle or with my nose but I don’t recognise any of the descriptions I’ve read and seen of this particular fragrance! I don’t find it sweet at all, I don’t sense any vanilla or amber, or really any pleasant scents at all either really! Except for in the very beginning (and by that I mean like the first couple of minutes), then I can smell something nice and pleasant. After that it’s just a sour and really heavy sour that takes over any and everything else! And it stays, for hours, for more than 24 hours actually! Which wouldn’t be a bad thing if I liked the smell, but I really don’t! My boyfriend agreed with me though, so it’s not just my nose, he also thinks it smells weird and sour and he doesn’t like it at all either. And we both love the original Paradoxe, but this is not our cup of tea at all! I got a headache and was nauseous after a few hours of having to smell it constantly, because it projects, and I tried washing it off my arm, where I had sprayed it. I washed and scrubbed my arm three times and I used a wet wipe but it was still there. That was last night, after spraying two sprays on my arm at around 1 pm, it’s the day after now and it’s still there, at 12:30 pm, so 23,5 hours and three washes and one wet wipe later and it’s still clearly there! It doesn’t project any longer though, but I don’t have to press my nose up against the skin either. I wish I loved this, the performance is amazing, both projection and longevity, but I don’t, I can’t stand it even! I love the OG and I love vanilla fragrances, I love heavy and sweet fragrances, the ones that others find too cloying, but this isn’t that for me, it’s just sour and earthy, in a very bad way! And it’s not just my skin chemistry or Ph, it’s the same when sprayed on clothes or paper! So it’s either just my taste or it’s the way my nose and brain experiences it. I have owned it for almost a year now and I have tried it many times during that time, during all times of the day and during all seasons of the year, but it always ends up with me having to wash it off because it makes me physically sick, so I will have to realise and accept that I just don’t like it! I give up, and I give it up, and I will sell it or give it away (probably sell it since I can’t really stand being around it for very long 😅🙈). If you like this scent then it’s great, the performance is amazing, I just wish I loved the scent of it!

Warm, spicy floral with vanilla undertones; sensual, comforting, easy to love. It took just one sniff to understand why this fragrance is so popular. This scent is an embrace, a kiss, a parting memory. Sexy and addicting. Best suited for colder weather; lingers for hours.

May they never change this formula. This is my love. My big love. I asked many patient what they where wearing and it so often turned out to be this one. Still i bought so many other perfume before this when i started my perfume journey. Then i bought it, loved it and started to look for something else. But everytime i go back to this one. This one is absolutely beautiful and intoxicating

A grown up version of Ari. Syrupy pear with clean and powdery white florals. Pretty. Drydown bothers me a bit since I am sensitive to ambroxans and those types of molecules.

Head Up Review :: I used to like this one alot when i first got it , if you plan to purchase it use it up in like within first 6 months max as it ages really horribly (yes i kept it in cool and dark place) but the synthetic components (ambrofix and serenolide that are supposed to mimic amber and musk) along with moss creates some intolerable odor .. i'm sadly gonna throw it away .. Its a beautiful fragrance right out of the box but deteriorates really bad if stayed on shelf for too long

It’s not amazing, but it’s not terrible either. The moss scent is much stronger than I expected, and I didn’t like that at all. When I spray it on my hair, it smells really bad the next day—it leaves a terrible odor because of the moss. It also has that artificial, synthetic feel that Ambrofix gives off. The longevity and sillage aren’t exactly “beast mode.” It definitely doesn’t have the longevity and sillage of lveb. Not buying again.

Crowd pleaser. Smells like a sweet floral on the opening. Doesn't have that harsh initial burst some designer perfumes tend to have. You'll create a lovely scent bubble with this.

Reminds me of men's aftershave mixed with Pine-Sol.

I’ve been trying to make this work for weeks but I think it’s a no for me. The opening is pure grape cough syrup for me. After about an hour it turns into a sickly sweet unbearable floral that burns my eyes. After 3 hours it chills out and is really beautiful. I’m in love with the way it smells between hours 3-12 but I’m too impatient to make it through those first 3 hours of overwhelming synthetics.

This is amazing! Longevity is also great, I sprayed it yesterday just once in the late afternoon and I can still smell it the morning after. It turned into a very soft vanilla. Wish I bought a bigger bottle, will be wearing this a lot.

Prada Paradoxe Intense is one of the most beautiful perfumes I have ever owned. The scent is absolutely stunning, and a little goes a very long way. Just a couple of sprays are enough to last all day. The longevity and projection are outstanding. It leaves a beautiful, elegant scent trail that people notice, and I often receive compliments when I wear it. If you enjoy rich, sophisticated fragrances with excellent performance, I highly recommend it. It's especially perfect for the colder months, when it really shines. I absolutely love wearing it in autumn and winter, and I will definitely repurchase it.

It’s a clone of Alien Goddess Supra Florale

Oh my. Just tested the original. Loved it. Both were on sale so decided to go for intense. She's beautiful. Fresh floral. Definitely a favourite and will purchase bigger bottle.

Initially when I tried this the top notes gave me headache. The middle notes are like a really nice fragrant shampoo. The dry down though, this is were you get your money's worth. The dry down is lovely, imagine its been 5 hours since you sprayed it, and someone smells you and thinks you just stepped out of the shower! Smell is very clean and fresh.

el mejor de los paradoxe!!

All of the cool girls on social media said this was an all-time favorite and the description is amazing. I only tested this on paper so I can’t give any other insight with projection and lasting power, but this one is definitely not making it to my skin sadly. I smelled it straight out of the bottle, after walking around with it for a while, and even came back to it sure I was missing something. But I could smell the chemistry behind it (as someone who likes chem, this is not a compliment). No citrus, no vanilla, no jasmine, just pure synthetics. I know my nose is in the minority here but if you are thinking about buying this without testing it first because it’s so highly rated, please test it before committing. There is a higher than 0% chance you will also be unpleasantly surprised and this isn’t exactly cheap to buy a bottle and not vibe with it.

Pure grape jolly rancher in the opening. The dry down is fine but it’s too artificial for the first 30 minutes that I can’t enjoy it fully.

This is, definitely, an elegantly fruity magnet with a crisp and very sweet pear, with a special green flavour that makes its juiciness even more appealing. It is clean yet warm, and a light spicy charm over the polite satiny flowers provides a perfect balance between sweetness and fragrance. A soft powderiness (complementing the ambery, vanillic, mouth watering side) and an elegant musky depth favour its smooth development towards a creamy, green-tinged drydown. IMHO, it is a nice improvement over the OG.

Opens with a really lovely warm fruity floral upon first spray and even on skin, but about an hour later I started to get whiffs of a burnt syrupy smell and realized it was the perfume. A no for me, dawg. A big reminder for me to test on skin first.

I like it more that the OG, they are VERY similar. So I wouldn't invest in a full bottle. If I finish the OG, then, yes, I'll prefer this one! It has more neroli, it's not as sharp as the og, and I think it's bit more "kind" feminine" "romantic". However, too similar!

Neroli & moss. Ironically this is a "neroli-well-done" bottle. It's not sweet or bitter, just raw fluffy neroli achieved through balance. Smooth, fluffy, musky, almost linen like good and quality neroli. I really liked this as i loathe neroli notes on other colognes, but this.

In 25°C weather from my bottle it has delicate parameters. My sample was much stronger, hmm... It is fresh, citrusy and a white floral avalanche, slightly piquant with warm vanilla base. Gorgeous, but where is my spectacular sillage and strength? It lasts gently for 3 hours and becomes so shy that it can be replaced. Am I the only one having such a huge difference in sillage and strength between sample and the bottle?
