Prada Paradoxe Intense by Prada

It’s wonderful; it smells of ultra-sexy orange marmalade to me, and the best part is how long it lasts and how well it projects. Simply incredible.

Out of all I’ve tried, this is the one that earns the most compliments thanks to its impressive trail and projection. However, for everyday wear, I find it too heavy; it becomes repetitive and stops feeling special, so it’s best used occasionally. But when you want to make an impact, it’s ideal, especially for first impressions. When I wear it, I start to detect an older lady scent, something a bit clichéd and heavy, but for special occasions, you’re guaranteed praise.

Way too rich for a woman, ugh!

I have samples of the Intense version; it’s richer, more robust, and fuller-bodied without altering the essence of the regular Paradoxe much. The amber and vanilla notes are more prominent. It projects an aura of elegance and sophistication, without being ‘old lady’ scented. I’d recommend buying this over the regular version.

Oh dear, I didn’t like it at all. It smells of orange; I understand it’s similar to Valentino, but even though I don’t adore that one, it sounds more harmonious and distinguished. This, however, smells like orange gum, very chucky as we say here, and I’m not complaining about sweets. You can tell it’s tired straight from the paper; it’s quite different from the traditional Paradox, which is more floral and gentle.

My recent great discovery. On my skin, the sweetness dominates without being cloying; it’s also fruity and citrusy at first. I received compliments in Rome on my holiday for the sweetness it exudes. A total success.

This perfume was love at first sniff; it smells of a coquettish girl, feminine and elegant at the same time. The longevity and projection are excellent, and despite being sweet, I find it very wearable for any season. It has become my favourite alongside Delina Exclusif.

Among my favourite perfumes, Paradoxe Intense will always have a place, as I seek these notes. It’s very pleasant when I let it unfold on my skin; I look for floral and fresh perfumes, and since discovering Neroli, I’ve been seeking it in many because I find it pleasing and comforting. A feminine aroma, very rich; I have several with Neroli, I sense the bergamot and jasmine, but the formula of this one makes it different; you can feel the vanilla with the amber. It’s potent, long-lasting, super feminine with a moderately impressive trail. On me and my skin, it smells very much of pear and bergamot; I recognise the openings of these notes because all my perfumes have them; I notice the Neroli at the end, half an hour after letting this jewel unfold. I also sense some citrus that made me buy it, as I’m obsessed with fresh scents even if they don’t last long. I reapply and let myself be wrapped again in its magical notes.

It’s delicious, super ambered, sweet, and vanilla-scented. I’d been looking for an aroma similar to Amber Romance by VS for 1000 years, and this on my skin resembles it quite a bit; I loved it ❤️❤️

The opening is hypnotic and addictive, but as minutes pass on my skin, it becomes generic and strong (in the bad sense). I’ll keep testing, but for now, it’s not worth this investment.

I’ve tried it several times in the perfumery, and there’s something that doesn’t quite convince me. It’s not bad; you can smell the flowers… but it has a characteristic that doesn’t fill me.

It’s the sexiest fragrance I’ve ever heard of 🌷

I’m getting married, I truly love the Prada Paradoxe, they’re super rich, smell luxurious and sexy. People praise them a lot, they’re sweet and citrusy, oh wow 😍❤️❤️

Have you ever liked something so much that you only want to wear it on special occasions? That’s what happens with Prada Paradoxe Intense. Since I heard it in a department store, it was love at first sniff, and I ordered a decant to see how it would wear on me, as it’s not cheap. Tried it and I can say it’s worth the cost. Prada Paradoxe Intense is fresh with the bergamot, sweet from the start with the pear, and you can feel the white flowers too at the beginning; throughout the development, the sweetness remains. Its longevity is very high, projecting moderately at the start (in my case, perhaps because it’s winter and I’m wearing several layers of clothing) and then staying close to the skin almost all day; on sturdy clothes until washed. It smells of luxury, elegance, cleanliness, and femininity. My husband loves it! Now I must get rid of that feeling of thinking that something I like so much is only for special occasions. The moment is today! Otherwise, when are we going to enjoy what we like? Beyond this, in use, I see it as super versatile and appropriate for all climates, day and night, just taking care of the sprays; perhaps only in an intense summer of 40C+ would I think twice. Try this jewel 💎✨ I’m almost sure you’ll love it 💖

Where do I start… I fell in love with this perfume without knowing what it was. I heard it on three different women at different times, tried to figure out which one it could be by the notes (mission impossible), and asked the third one. I describe it when I spray it as identical to Prada Paradoxe, nothing outstanding, and thought they had deceived me by telling me it was another perfume haha. But no, after some time that scent I loved arrived. Without being a fan of very sweet perfumes, I admit this one is very sweet, very feminine, very white floral, very powdery… that’s how I remember it without knowing what it was. But it’s that the base, its foundation, is the richest thing I’ve ever heard. This perfume will be one of the sweet exceptions in my collection.
