What does Paradoxe (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Pear, tangerine and Calabrian bergamot give it a juicy, fruity start. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine sambac and neroli build a bright floral core. Bourbon vanilla and Siam benzoin soften the base with sweetness, while Ambrofix and Serenolide add a clean, synthetic finish in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards daily and leisure wear, with some votes for nights out and the office. More than half of voters read it as feminine. Valentino Voce Viva Intensa and Xerjoff Erba Pura have a close profile.
