Paradiso

I don’t like heavy sweet warm fragrances, so I blind bought it based on notes and reviews. I was hoping for a new fresh fragrance but it reminds me of certain scents from the 1980s. Just smells like an old woman in her 80th. Jasmine? Yes but not a woody floral scent at all. Just like a cheap car air freshener. It also reminds me of some cheap cosmetic products like Oriflame.

Fresh Jasmine!!! Reminds me of Diptyque Do Son (without Tuberose).

a gift from my mommy <3333 genuinely such a gorgeous fragrance perfect for summer

Crazy to me that you can get such a good perfume at this price point. It’s a good fragrance period. Use a light hand bc it’s strong. Aspects of this remind me of Michael by Michael Kors or Florence by Tocca, both without the juicy pear. It is sliiightly artificial but it’s still fresh, sweet, beautiful. Blind buy safe for floral fans 8/10

Summer dress type frag. Intensely soapy white floral at first. After 25 minutes the light sparkle of the citrus fades and the skin scent base notes are left with the prominent jasmine sticking around. Medium light wearing making it good for the spring/summer. I think the 35+ somethings crowd would be familiar with this scent profile and most likely to wear it daily .

Reminds very much Si Belle by Chloe...the same suffocating and headache inducing...mehh

Anyone else feel nothing but jasmine?

I'm absolutely mystified by anyone saying that this perfume bears any resemblance to YSL Libre. Libre is a total vanilla lavender bomb. It's so heavy. I literally only wear it during the colder months in the evenings. Paradiso is a light, sparkly citrusy summer holiday in a bottle. I'm completely obsessed with it. I would wear it without hesitation on any occasion. It's office-safe, public-transport-friendly, and wears beautifully on my skin for hours. Libre, on the other hand, would completely choke me out in the unseasonably warm London weather we're currently experiencing. I use Libre with caution. I use Paradiso with abandon.

Beautiful fresh sparkly spring /summer fragrance.

Paradiso completely blew me away - I picked up a 75ml bottle for £23.00 recently - the bottle is absolutely gorgeous, heavy glass, beautiful feeling when held, it feels lile a niche bottle. This beautiful sunny super clean scent is refined, balanced - it's of a beach-vibe but I am going to say it's more on the aquatic side, it's slightly clean laundry on a sunnybday, definitely not the salty seadog seaweed skank, but there definitely a fresh air on the beach vibe here and it's super clean in the light fresh wood musk dry down. The longevity is about 4 hours on my skin and it's safe to wear around anyone. I also own Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid and that's on the same trajectory as Paradiso and only arrived 4 years after Paradiso. To my nose, these two smell very similar, with the Mermaid being slightly salty and fruity on the first spray and a beautiful ozonic fruit on the dry down. Both are clean, summer beach perfumes. Just smell them side by side and you will instantly understand. For under £30 in the UK it's absolutely worth having in your Summer collection 🌞

I wanted to buy it. I own ysl libre and I've red this smells alike to it. Went in store to try it and I have to agree. it smells really like libre, the only difference is that this is lighter and more aromatic, especially on the drydown ( it's like sweet chamomile to me, and I love sweet chamomile as a note). All in all I prefer Paradiso more. Infact I would weare Paradiso in spring and summer but I wouldn't with Libre. I'm agog that there's no Vanilla in the base because I smell a distinct sweet vanilla, like in libre. Maybe the tester bottle had plenty of time to mature and become thicker in its smell and concentration. Maybe the ones that don't agree with the similiarity between paradiso and libre have new batches that smell different initialy, but in time I think this becomes really cose to Libre. I would say Paradiso is the eau de toilette/ eau freche concentration of Libre IMO. But the time I will finish my libre I will purchase Paradiso because I enjoy a lighter/softer version of libre that server me as an all rounder and also because in the drydown there's more aromatic quality and less plain dense sweetness unlike in libre.

There is an undeniable similarity in the opening between Paradiso and YSL Libre, primarily driven by the combination of jasmine and mandarin. However, it’s important to note that Paradiso predates Libre; if anything, Libre follows in its footsteps. The paths diverge quickly, though. While Libre introduces lavender - giving it a licorice-like aromatic edge, Paradiso stays true to its Mediterranean soul. After about thirty minutes, it transforms into something magical. It captures the quintessential "holiday vibe" without being a cliché. There is a subtle, creamy warmth reminiscent of high-end sun lotion applied after a day at the beach, surrounded by lush green trees. It’s not overt, but rather an atmospheric feeling: sunny, warm, and incredibly soft.

i really like this fragrance, but for some reason it doesn’t last long on me at all… still a very nice inoffensive scent that’s perfect for everyday use

It’s a nice fragrance, but the pine is just a little too piercing for me. It’s a solid 'like,' but the sharpness keeps it from becoming a 'love.

Why do I hate this so much? It’s loud and synthetic in the opening for sure. I hear a lot of people praising it here. I really don’t understand why. I was expecting to find a green, pine tree, very aromatic citrusy scent. It’s definitely cloying and masculine leaning. Not a safe blind buy. It doesn’t have any charm for me. I will be selling my bottle in a jiffy.

I always get compliments from my parents whenever I wear this. personally, I love it, it’s floral and citrusy in a very unique way. Both the sillage and longevity are impressive 💗.

People ? How dare you compare this Queen to the toilet lemon cake scented air freshener Libre ysl Libre ? Are u for real ? That cheap medicinal lemon smells like the most luxurious jasmine and green woods with the best balance of citruses and the angelic watery feel do you think that masterpiece smells like that lemon cake B&BW Libre ysl ? Guys stop making me freak out

This is a firm like. If I didn’t already own 50+ perfumes maybe I’d buy this. If it goes on deep enough discount, I still might. It’s nice and I get the comparisons with YSL libre. This is an all rounder and likely performs better in summer. A good buy for the price and if you don’t already have too many perfumes like I do!

I've had this perfume for a couple of months now and honestly it is not my thing at all, but objectively speaking it's still very good for its price! The smell is very strong and holds long on your skin, although it may be too strong and sharp for some people especially those who have sensitive nose... Would not recommend for those who like more gentle and sophisticated smells. This perfume also has a prominent bitter note to it and I can strongly smell wood and citrus. After wearing it for a couple of hours the smell becomes weaker and with that the bitterness goes away and gives in for a hint of white flowers. However, I wish there would be more white flowers in it tbh! This perfume itself is quite cold so it's not suitable for winter or cold times at all, nor would I recommend it for spring, summer is a perfect match tho🌞 If you like green and "big" smells, this one is for u! 💞

This is a perfect classy perfume. Very fresh and floral... I loooove it ! Perfect for office if you're looking for something non offensive. The dry down stays fresh but in a green and floral way. The jasmine stays and is complimented by the green notes. It's timeless. It does give me "Libre" cousin vibes. I do want to say... this was out years before Libre... so it's really not the same, DOES NOT smell the same, but if you like Libre you might just love this one, it's in the same family type.

I really enjoyed this the first time I sniffed it. However, it just isn’t as beautiful once it’s on my skin. It’s great for a hot summer day or evening but now that it’s getting cooler in the evenings where I live, I just don’t enjoy it as much! So I would say, wear this in the middle of summer and it’s gorgeous but then put it away until next year! I enjoy the dry down but it blooms best in the heat. In the cool, it disappears pretty quickly.

Why is she sooo beautiful. Omg. This is so underrated. Put this on fresh out the shower. So uplifting. Fresh. Fruity floral. Playful. Happy. Calm. Cozy. Inviting. Soft. Smooth. Sexy. Intoxicating. This is such a gem I want to apply more although I didn’t need much in comparison to other more expensive scents. I showered and wore this to bed. 9 hours later and the scent bubble is just as beautiful and mesmerizing. Every time I experience this scent I become obsessed again ;) 10/10 for me. backup bottle worthy but my collection in large. still, the intense urge to buy a backup is real!!!

This is such a lovely summer scent, it invokes a Mediterranean summer villa by the sea. It's very heavy on the jasmine for me, definitely a creamy floral. I wouldn't necessarily call it a green scent, maybe picking up a bit of laurel but that's it. I got this scent years ago, and it still smells lovely. And such good longevity!

Riding harleys in Hawaii yai Yaaaaaaaaaa… Truly A gem… i mean beautiful scent gorgeous freshness scent affordable and lasts 2 days in my clothes !!! Im out of words from how insanely gorgeous this scent is absolutely 10/10

I get a white flower lemony scent. It's very fresh and perfect for summer wear. Sadly the scent is gone in a couple of hours.

Smells bright and radiant. Feels fresh and confident — like a sunlit Mediterranean embrace, breezy yet empowering.

I'd give it a 6 out of 10. It's not very refreshing—don't be fooled by the notes. It can even be used in fall and winter, but it's not that bad

Fresh, clean, juicy, ripe and green like a perfect palm leaf on a sunny, breezy day. Amazing summer perfume. I always thought it was uncomplicated but very unique and joyful. Gorgeous, refreshing, elegant and feminine.

Safe buy for the summer, forgettable, inoffensive. Doesn’t last long but what the heck, you’ll pick it up next summer for your vacation again and still enjoy it.

Very perfumey, lighter version of YSL Libre. Not bad but not for me
