Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower

Ridiculously perfect. I have never smelled a perfume so absolutely flawless. For some reason this feels beyond nostalgic to me, I am immediately transported to my childhood. It was really a spiritual experience to smell this and I'm still trying to figure out why!

Idling away a ferry trip in duty free I recall over 80% of the womens perfumes smelled exactly like this sample. What has the world of fragrance come to? On the plus side, among its many synthetic smelling accords it doesn't appear to contain synthetic sandalwood so I'm spared the horror of pickling fluid. Sorry guys, but this is awful.

This reminded me of body spray from 90s Impulse Incognito. Bit synthetic but nice and fresh. PPVF is performing worse than this body spray. What a shame. Otherwise its good. If you don't mind overspraying often.

This was the first of the Paradoxe line I purchased. I wanted a fun and easy to wear summer scent. Jasmine and citrus notes are good for that! It’s nice, but I probably won’t repurchase.

It opens up so fresh and zesty with the bergamot, and the freshness just keeps going with the neroli and the beautiful jasmine. The musk dry down is really soft, but still fresh. It can feel a bit sharp at first, but I find it absolutely gorgeous!

This is one of my go-to spring summer scents; as a Mediterranean, neroli and jasmine are adorable. Jasmine is not overpowering. Some people may find it cologne-ish, but I think it is light and feminine in a very clean way. Do not expect miraculous longevity. Overall, a beautiful flanker that feels pretty!

I like the original and adore the intense, but for some reason this gives me a headache every time I wear it, it's so screechy, really disappointed about it because on paper it sounds amazing.

This is NOT just clean girl, this is FANCY clean girl. This is NOT Landry, Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc Blanc For Her is a FANY clean, fresh laundry, cotton etc. but in a FANCY way. Please don’t conflate the two types of clean girl scent. This perfume is for florals lover, that want an elegant everyday scent without a powdery Talc’y undertones. This gives “you’re well put together but also nice & humble at work”. 💗✨ People buy perfumes seeing the description & than complain about the description. I’m kinda over it!

Fresher than the original Paradoxe. If only had any staying power... Random personal association: girls' rubber sandals from the 80s.......nostalgia. Scent (if you "squint" your nose); tulip with poppy. Nose-stalgia. Funny thing. No way high end designer type. Pleasant.

It's nothing but soapy neroli. It lasts a long time and has a strong scent—that's all I can say that's good about it. Not my thing; it reminds me of something many seasons ago.

My current signature scent. I adore it. But I didn't know it was AI made though until reading about it on here, which was after I bought it. But I do like that it's refillable! I'll continue to use it until it's finished as I love it, but probably won't repurchase as I don't want to fund that kinda stuff :/ maybe if I can get the refill secondhand on Vinted or something. but this girl likes what she likes, what can I do!

no es de mi estilo, pero es un aroma muy floral, es sentir viva la primavera en un campo de jazmin!!

alien flower, flower in outer space top - outdoor swimming pool, unique, artificial, interesting middle - colourful fancy soaps base - musk

I don’t know why but I’m allergic to it, paradoxe is my favorite perfume but this one gives me several allergic reaction…

Very easy wear, simple bouquet yet somehow nostalgic. Safe blind buy, even as a gift since it smells nice and is from a popular overhyped brand.

I am opposite of @Mona708 where Almost no bergamot and starts off with powdery floral notes, all the way til drydown. I am a male, so the body chemistry might have something to do with it. I still wear it as a straight male with layover or on my chest (wrist more unisex or male leaning ones) --- I do wear female frags such as Miss Dior, JGP Devine/La Bell Paradise Garden etc, but I find Virtual Flower more female leaning than all other female frags i own --- NOTE: I noticed that laying Gucci A Song For the Rose (after 10 min) over Miss Dior EDP smells like Virtual Flower after an hour of drydown. - I might just use Virtual Flower and ditch those two (cuz they are expensive)

This might be my new signature scent. The opening can feel a bit sharp and intense, but once it settles on my skin it is the most balanced, sensual floral fantasy I have ever experienced. My husband pulls me in all the time to smell and kiss my neck. It is airy. Calm. Powdery. Yet interesting with depth and contrasts. It invites you in, it doesn’t scream. After it settles it reminds me of Good Girl Légère without the heaviness of vanilla. This fragrance suits a sensual, warm and affectionate feminine person who is also playful and full of fun and laughter. You are someone who when people get to know you, they discover a lot more depth and warmth than you give off in the first impression.

Somehow this morphs into lemon curd immediately after I put it on. I don’t notice any of the floral notes at all. This doesn’t last as long as the original at about five hours of wear time, but it’s still pleasant enough to wear as a casual scent.

One of my favourite spring fragrances! A fresh, clean white floral scent. As expected, the jasmine holds a strong presence, but not in an overbearing way, it is much more smooth and clean. The best way to describe the scent would be an expensive jasmine scented laundry detergent or a jasmine bar soap in a hotel. Moderate longevity and projection, not as strong as the original paradoxe but she is still the winner to me!

A very nice entry in the Paradoxe family. It used to be my favourite of the group as this is classically beautiful, now I prefer the spectacular Intense. Fresher and less Alienish than the pillar or the other siblings it concentrates on jasmine note turning it fresh with bergamot and soft on the edges through elegant white musk and gentle ambrette. The neroli is not as prominent as in the other Paradoxes but continues the fresh trail of bergamot in heart stage. Its competition is clearly My Way and L'Interdit - both fruity and big white florals. It is less strong, but not by much and less complex but very likeable. Perfect for spring and summer, should be o.k for the office, too and the competition is too strong for closed spaces. Refreshing and feminine. In 25°C weather it lasts on me for 5-6 hours with gentle wafts on a walk.

I found my new love. I got this fragrance as a gift a year ago and the minute I smelled the Jasmine, I knew she was nothing like her sister fragrance “the original” which I also have. Virtual flower is soft, delicate and clean. She is demands attention but in a non offensive manner, which I love. I wear this in the spring/summer and I get flooded with compliments every time I wear this fragrance. Just yesterday I had a girl stop me in the street just to ask what I was wearing. I couldn’t believe it: that never happens to me and I have quite the perfume collection.

This is a simple yet beautiful “clean girl” scent. Smells kinda like an expensive soap without being soapy, or like fresh and clean laundry. I love white florals like jasmine and neroli, and though I smell the neroli more strongly than the jasmine here, I think it all balances out perfectly. Slightly powdery, slightly sweet. Doesn't project as well as the original Paradoxe, but I prefer this scent much more than that one. Longevity is about the same at a few hours; I usually reapply when I go on my lunch break and with that it lasts me the whole day. I frequently get compliments at work when I wear this one, more than any other I wear. I've grown so in love with it; I very much think it's signature scent worthy!

Okay so this stuff is amazing! My co-worker, a lady in her 50s who barely talks to anyone, COMPLIMENTED me and said that she loved how I smelled. She said this 5 hours after I sprayed this and said that she could still STRONGLY smell me down the hallway. Also every time I wear this, my other colleagues come closer to me, just to smell me and say “ah yeah this perfume again”. That being said, this is the most gorgeous floral perfume I have ever smelled in my life! And I have a lot of floral perfumes in my collection, NOTHING even comes close to this beauty. It smells exactly like premium laundry room at a 5 star hotel. It’s in the realm of MFK 724 and Byredo Blanche, but I prefer this! This and Love-O-Matic, drench me in. Also it LASTS for hours (at least on me). If you wanna smell like a clean girl/boy this is it :)

Absolutely HATED this it smelt like throwing a granny in a dryer, truly vile

I picked it up because I wanted a new scent for spring and this was a pleasant surprise. It smells like clean fresh laundry not in a negative way. It’s powdery soft

I only got a free sample of this fragrance, I don't think I will get the full size since I find it synthetic and a bit nauseating, (and the AI marketing is weird), but I do like the scent. It's a good clean, soapy everyday fragrance for spring and summer. Oddly, it very reminiscent of spray-on sunscreen to me.

I love neroli and it’s the best of all prada paradoxe parf.

Fresher, less sweet version of the original. Noticeable summery neroli. The original base notes come out in the late dry down. I do get the soapiness others are mentioning but I don't think it's at all a realistic detergent scent. This is crazy strong, you only need maybe one spray sprayed from arms length or walk through the cloud. Lasts quite a long time as well.

Smells good... but exactly like fabric detergent. If you like really fresh clean smells you will love this. My friend gave me her sample after having a bad allergic reaction to this. It was a little tingly on my skin... so I don't know if it's usual or if we got a bad sample. Smells good but a little to synthetic for my taste.

Its a very heavy floral scent. and I don't like jasmine notes Still has that laundry detergent DNA of the prada paradoxe line it's nice but not for me I can see it worn by a very loud lady with big hair, wears heavy make up all the time, long nails and probably a smoker Not sure why I pictured it that way! 😆
