Prada Paradoxe

Fruity floral shampoo. Hot girl perfume! She’s got the glossiest lip and trendiest outfits.

This is my easiest easy reach. It’s bright and happy, it’s the only fragrance my husband has ever complimented.

Hear me out…. This is Love’s Baby Soft all grown up!!! It took me a few wears to discover that I love this scent. It’s an easy wear, and fun to layer it with the flankers and other fragrances. And the bottle is beautiful.

The more I smell it I don’t like it. I don’t mind it!! It’s actually really good but I’m smelling it everywhere. The intense is better imo (:

Longevity is crazy! It’s been almost 24hours since I put some on my wrist, did everyday cleaning stuff in my house and in my RV too, had two showers and it’s still has good amount of scent on my skin! I am very very impressed. The scent is very ambery vanilla with floral.

I really wanted to understand why people love this so much, but it just smelled like the cough syrup I had as a kid. The cough syrup that they try to make fruity and appealing to kids, but that still tastes disgusting... Maybe I tried a bad bottle... not sure.

When this scent was first released in 2022, I found it to be the most generic floral gourmand fragrance ever. I smelled it only once and like many others, I was disappointed, as I had envisioned something completely different for a Prada release—something niche, edgy, and polarizing. I quickly turned my back on the scent and paid it no further mind. Recently, I met up with a friend who was wearing the most wonderful floral fragrance. To my surprise, she wore Paradoxe. I immediately changed my mind. Now I find that Paradoxe is one of the most beautiful floral fragrances of recent years, floral, creamy, seductive. The paradox of this perfume is that it is not paradoxical at all.

Feminine and playful but not juvenile. Men seem to love this fragrance and for a good reason, it is truly addictive.

Strong, not overbearing. Sweet, but not too much. Floral as needed, with not a single sharp edge. Well-loved and conveniently useful. A pretty and posh people-pleaser in versatile designer shoes.

Lovely sweet floral. Very similar to Valentino DBIR and if you have one I don’t think you need the other.

I'm a guy but I complimented a woman and asked what she was wearing and she said it was this one. I'd say it's like the YSL MYSLF of women's fragrances. Fresh and sweet and also has white florals with a slight dryer sheet vibe. You can probably wear it any day of the year but might be a bit too fresh for harsh winters.

She's a classic! Its nothing groundbreaking but it's very inoffensive and pretty and feminine. I have the travel size and the mini. I'm not a major white floral fan but this makes me want to like white florals more. Ilove the citrus I get in the opening and I wish it stayed longer. When it dries it smells like a lovely feminine soap lol. I feel like this is something most men would like on their girlfriends / wives. It's a crowd pleaser perfume 7.5/10

One of favorite

Pleasant enough, but nothing special. Finished a sample and already got bored with it. Safe blind buy, for those who don't mind a vanilla base.

So ‘designer’, ‘basic’, ‘juvenile’… But also so fun, flirty, and easygoing! An ultra sweet white floral with a juicy candy-like opening and warm vanilla base. I get mostly neroli/ orange blossom. The florals are very well blended and balanced, softening the green zesty neroli and smoothing the ‘nubby’ or chalky texture that orange blossom can sometimes have. Paradoxe is mass appealing and ‘easy reach’ but still has character- it feels outgoing, effervescent and vivacious. It’s definitely a mood booster that makes me feel pretty and confident. My husband doesn’t like most white florals I wear, including masterpieces like Rouge Malachite and Electra Gaze. But, he usually compliments Paradoxe. I do prefer the Intense version, but the original edp is a better choice for summertime.

Prada Paradoxe, Eau de Parfum, by Prada, smells like a very ripe pear, vanilla, rum and hairspray. In the opening, the perfume smells like a pear so ripe, that it smells also like alcohol already. The dry down is very different. I am smelling synthetic hairspray scent, with a ripe pear background.

Sharp unpleasant sweetness paired with synthetic white florals. Very recognizable in public and one of my least favorites to smell on others. Screechy and juvenile.

This is pretty, like Johnsons Baby Powder, sweet and juvenile. My "at home" scent. No staying power whatsoever, I am so gutted it is from Prada! I tried to put it on vaseline, on the wrists and inside elbows. Cannot smell it after 3 mins, just bit of pink lollipop and dry ambroxan. Not worth the full price tag (luckily I bought 4x 30ml various flankers for cheap).. Over 90 perfumes and EDTs in and I never had to chase the scent so much to smell it at all...shame. I think I will gift to my 18 yo niece who is just starting her perfume journey.

somehow reminds me of that one movie Do Revenge and playing tennis, very fresh almost soapy , feels young however smells too much like laundry detergent to my taste, but i can see the appeal

My every day scent! I’ve written this down for probably 5 different people at work

this perfume is fine, inoffensive. it smelled so strongly like my mom that i just ended up giving it to her. it smells like what i think of when i imagine a designer fragrence.

I had an nosegasm at the duty free smelling this. Crazy good.

This was such a wonderful scent! it reminds me of a woman who doesn't need a man, but gets them anyways! It has a dry spice on the nose, almost peppery. Beautiful and unique--a must have.

What else can I say but that this fragrance is bliss? It's feminine, floral, and flirty. I can smell wafts of it all day. I love discovering it on a hoodie or jacket days later. It's a safe blind buy if you like neroli, because it is very heavy with neroli. I love neroli with orange blossom. It always makes me feel like bottled happiness. The musk isn't very forward. The floral notes definitely stand out over the top and base notes. It is perfection for spring wear, but I will wear it a lot in summer, too. To me, there are basic perfumes and simple perfumes. Simple can be beautiful, and that is this perfume. It also layers well. The bottle is refillable, which I love. She's a staple in my collection.

Have a full size bottle unused if anyone wants to trade msg me x

I absolutely hate this. I can't get why because the notes aren't even bad but I really really hate this. Even on other people it just isn't a nice scent to me personally. One thing good about it (if you do like it) is that it's strong, it lasts & lasts so longevity is really good.

I got this because everyone says they get compliments and asked what they're wearing. I think its pretty but not "wow" it reminds me of one of my Viva La Juicy perfumes. I think Golden Couture but I'm not sure. I don't wear them enough because they dont last. I will keep to layer with Viva la juicy but I don't love it on its own. And it does smell obvious synthetic. I kind of hate it.

My current obsession! I have finished like four bottles of it and I keep getting buying it!

I love the opening (it really is fun and feminine), I really don't like the middle and the drydown is also nice. So it kinda has a phase I have to suffer through

It has all the notes I love in perfume but it smells so basic for some reason..
