WoodyWhat does Paradise smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, so it suits everyday wear without filling the room. It is positioned as a feminine fragrance.
The opening brings mandarin orange, blackcurrant, freesia and peach. In the heart, aquatic notes, coriander and lily of the valley keep it fresh. The base settles into a sweet, woody ground of amber, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. Calvin Klein Escape (Eau de Parfum) and Montblanc Individuel (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
