What does Paradise smell like?

The top holds cardamom, lemon, bergamot and coffee; in the heart Bulgarian rose, Philippine oud, jasmine sambac and violet dominate. The base brings tobacco absolute, benzoin, patchouli and vetiver, settling into a resinous, earthy, smoky and slightly leathery finish.

Voters find its longevity very strong and its sillage strong; the vote count is small, but it clearly wears dense and leaves a trail. It suits men and women alike. It has been discontinued. Lorenzo Villoresi Atman Xaman and Floris Leather Oud have a close profile.
