What does Paradigme Le Parfum smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend fall and spring, with a fair share choosing winter; summer is rarely picked. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure and daily wear. Voters read its character as masculine and modern.

It opens with Bourbon geranium, fresh, green and lightly floral. In the heart, leather and vanilla meet: a leathery firmness softened by sweet, creamy vanilla. Amberever® lays a woody, synthetic base underneath, and a spicy note stays in the background. Acca Kappa 1869 and Kanchaveli White have a close profile.
