Prada Paradoxe Intense EDP 3 ounce

This is one of my absolute favorite perfumes and i though it only right to start out with a review of it.

Prada Paradoxe Intense Eau de Parfum is nothing short of enchanting. From the moment I opened the 3-ounce bottle, I was captivated by its sweet and slightly floral notes, which evoke the feeling of walking through a blooming garden at dusk. The boldness of this fragrance radiates confidence, making it the perfect companion for those moments when you want to leave a lasting impression. It reminds me of the warmth of a cozy evening gathered with friends, full of laughter and intriguing conversations.

Just like a captivating story that unfolds with every layer, Prada Paradoxe Intense is sensual and mysterious, embodying refinement and sophistication. It's as if you’re wearing a statement piece that draws attention and admiration, turning heads wherever you go. This perfume encapsulates everything you aspire to be—confident, alluring, and unforgettable. Every spritz feels like a gentle reminder of the power of scent to transform and elevate everyday life.

I have to be honest with you, Prada Paradoxe Intense is signature scent worthy. It is a truly unforgettable fragrance. You will find the description from Sephora below including notes and their description of this fragrance. There are 3 Prada Paradoxe fragrances: Prada Paradoxe, Prada Paradoxe Intense and Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower. While I love the other two, I usually tend to lean toward the Intense versions of the fragrances that I like. I'm not a chronic oversprayer (we will talk about that in another blog post) but I don't want to have to overspray. I want something that does make a statement, but I don't want it to enter a room before I get there and linger long after I have left. Some of the girlies like that but what really happens is you become known as "the woman who sprays too much perfume." I don't want to be that person. I like a little bit of a scent trail (i call it your "walk by air") so you know I was there, but not enough to fill the entire room and have people searching frantically for their asthma pumps, ya know? For me, the dry down of an intense after say 2 or 3 sprays does just that. Have you smelled Prada Paradoxe Intense or either of the other Paradoxe? How do you like it? Which version do you prefer?

Fragrance Family: Florals

Scent Type: Warm Florals

Key Notes: Jasmine, Amber, Moss

Fragrance Description: Paradoxe Intense Eau de Parfum takes the original perfume and turns it up ever so slightly. Jasmine, Ambrofix™, and moss blend together to create a floral and amber-y signature scent that explores a femininity that is both powerful and delicate.

About the Bottle: This perfume bottle is an expression of the House’s essence of reinvention and predilection for contrasts. In a shift from the traditional perfume bottle architecture, the flacon is minimal and delicate at first glance, inspired by the original, iconic Prada triangle logo, disruptively designed to rest on its side. The Prada coat of arms logo contrasts with the deep pink color of the fragrance. The bottle is finished with ‘Paradoxe Intense’ on its top chamfer.

About the Fragrance: This feminine, floral perfume for women is an invitation to explore and express the paradoxical multidimensions of women. Experience the celebration of self-expression and the liberation that comes with being never the same, always yourself.
