What does Paradigme smell like?

Calabrian bergamot and musk lead, then rose and Bourbon geranium form a floral heart. The base of gaiac wood, Peru balsam, amberwood and benzoin sweetens it into a creamy, spicy woodiness. The fresh, floral side meets a distinctly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Voters mostly call its character masculine and modern.
