Thats good!! Honestly scent is something that can be worn by anyone regardless of marketing. x I have worn certain masculine fragrances from parfums de marley and no one would know unless I told them
@@ajishaohona8269i think you are good to wear it all year round, the intense is more a night perfume but i think it’s smells better and it lasts sooo good + has an amazing projection 😊
Ok so I have a tip for all of you perfume lovers that like stronger scents but can’t necessarily wear them to the office like me. If you know what you’re going to be wearing the next day at work, spray your clothes the night before (go easy) so it has time to settle and it won’t be as strong. Works great!
Absolutely fell in love with these today, had to buy both, all birthday money blown 😂 they are both stunning but different, the original is lighter and sweeter, the intense is less sweet, i can understand why it's called intense, although some of the note's are the same, the intense is intense one is more loud, it follows you around if that makes sense. I'd say original for daytime, intense for going out. I sprayed one on each wrist and on me the intense is way stronger after 4hrs,its barely faded, the original is still strong but not as noticeable. So happy i bought the refillable bottles as there definitely OG❤
I actually didn't like the original very much to be honest. But the new one here I really enjoy. I'm usually not a fan of perfumes that contain a lot of spices either, but this one was an exception☺️
ever since I became intrigued by perfumes, your channel had brought a lot of joy and welcome recommendations! I actually tested paradoxe before, might buy it once one of my owned ones runs out. I don’t know if you take requests, but maybe a video on perfumes with cherry as a base note?
This is gonna sound crazy but, to me Prada Paradoxe which I Love, smells like the intense version of Givenchy Irresistible EDP. I love both. Paradoxe is my new favorite ❤️ **This was Love at first sniff for me. I smelled it in an airport shop and sprayed it on my wrist before my flight and I could smell it the whole flight all around me it just created this wonderful scent bubble that made my trip more enjoyable. The next day I ordered it from fragrancenet. The 1.6 medium size bottle was $85. Cheaper than retail. I’ve been loving it. It has great lasting power and it just checks all the boxes off everything I like in a perfume. The jacket sleeve I wore on the plane still smelled of it a week later btw.
My sister got the original for this Christmas and I tried it and I liked it to me to my nose. It smells in the same family as Dylan purple from Versace in a way. I will probably have to spray more of it to see if I really want to purchase it for myself on Valentine’s Day when there is really good sales at Macy’s.
unisex?? i know we're going through a time where everyone can do and wear everything, but if a male approached me with this..i would probably think he accidentally used his sister's perfume
i would actually wear Paradoxe Intense myself. i have gifted Prada Paradoxe to friends and family soooo many times cuz i love love love Emma Watson and had to support her campaign. the dry-down on Intense is less sweet and the moss, musk and amber really shined through on my hand. if you didn't tell a guy what it was and just sprayed Paradoxe Intense on them... i think they would like it. the OG Prada Paradoxe i find a little too floral and sweet with the initial sprays but do feel that wears off rather quickly so a guy could definitely spray it on at least an hour before leaving the house for a less feminine scent. I originally picked Paradoxe Intense up as a gift but decided to keep it for myself since it's not available just yet in the US lol.
It’s smells extremely girly to me. If I smelled it on a man than I would assume that it rubbed off from his gf or wife, onto his shirt from hugging or cuddling.
Even the bottle looks feminine because it’s pink. I feel like it’s a marketing thing to say their fragrance is unisex, in hopes everyone buys it and also to be inclusive because nowadays you can’t say anything is made specifically for a man or a woman without getting backlash. In reality, anyone can wear whatever fragrance they want so I guess it is unisex because of that.
@extrarius85 i say wear what you wanna wear. I'm rockin Paradoxe Intense right now lol. my initial reaction when i sprayed Prada Paradoxe in stores to see if it was something I would gift, i felt it was very sweet and floral but an hour or so later, that dry down scent was intoxicating. i could definitely see guys wearing either when those sweet floral notes fade but Paradoxe Intense is the one i would personally wear of the two. less sweet and the moss in there is nice.
I love the original however to me it seems very femenine and I'm a straight male so I'm hesitant to wear it in most situations. I'm surprised to hear you think its unisex. Maybe I'll wear it more often 😊
I've already tried the new intense version and i must say this has great lasting power, i can still smell it onmy shirt the next day. And it has a beautifull sillage. I can smell a little bit of sourness like in Very good girl but without the tartness, what do you guys think?
i was left with a light smokey woody moss scent. it starts off very much the same as Paradoxe, floral but slightly less sweet to me. the dry down is lovely though. I love the greener scent it leaves behind. very intoxicating.
@@world_meets_boy I smelled the fragrance today and it is exactly as you describe! I really like this one better than the original edp! Which one do you like more?
@@Eva-cm5bf i gotta go with Intense as my personal favorite of the two. those smokey, woody, musky moss notes are just gorgeous. very cozy campfire. so intoxicating.
Moss is one of those notes that makes my stomach turn, so this will, unfortunately, be a hard pass. I was ambivalent about the OG but since my mom liked it a lot I gifted her the travel spray. She sprayed on way too much the first time and made us both sick lol. She hasn't worn it since but when I smell it, it's more tolerable to me now than at first. It reminded me of My Way and I just can't get on with that scent or any of its flankers.
I bought this online thinking it would smell like the original but with a longer/stronger lasting power. I like it but I was expecting it to smell more like the original
Though I think the original Paradoxe is a nice, potent fragrance I do not find it too interesting or unique, but ofc I will test the new version. Wondering which one will be the next flanker in this line :D most likely an eau de toilette version for next spring/summer :D
I picked up a tester today. We will see as I am looking for a cooler weather fragrance that isn't too sharp. Soft and long lasting, is there such a thing?
I had to go re-smell my sample because you make anything sound amazing. I nearly bought the original because of marketing and the refillable cute little bottle, but the perfume smells boring and like many other perfumes that I’ve smelled, to me. I can understand why people like it because it does smell good, but it doesn’t smell special or different. Paradoxe feels like a misnomer. Unless it’s a paradoxe because you expect it to be exciting or unlike anything you’ve put your nose on and it’s just not that girl.
@@Sufferingsassafrass I'm glad I'm not alone.😅I know that every perfume doesn't need to be mindblowing, but with a name like Paradoxe and all that marketing, some of us expected so much more. If I'd never smelled La Yuqawam Jasmine Wisp and they'd put something like that perfume in the same bottle, I would have been pleased. Are there any scents that you can think of that would be more fitting for the name?
I felt the exact same way. I felt like it wasn't new to my senses and couldn't justify the price. Saying that I managed to get a big bottle for a steal. ( I only got it because I love the bottle, but wasn't willing to pay retail and I think I somewhat prefer to Donna born in roma)
Thank you for this great review. Boots has a sale now and I was wondering if I should try the Intense version? Last time I tried the original one and I wasn't blown away by it, it was ok, nothing special, sweet, to me similar to Pure XS that I don't even wear anyomore. I think people in power are going completely a full retard mode promoting this gender fluid agenda. No, I'm still a woman, 100% born a woman, I am a woman and I will always be a woman! They want to put me into the same basket with men and every LGBTQ+ identification... lol No, can't do... sooooorrryyyyy! 🙂 Cheers, Nina.
I love paradoxe but there is one Note very synthetic and i hate synthethic perfumes. So Thats why i dont can use it everyday. Is there and perfume like paradoxe with the same lastingpower but not synthetic???
So I got this as a sample with my Linterdit Rouge purchase. I thought it will be the typical Prada stuff I don’t like….i was wrong I kinda loved it 😅 but it seems very close to the Valentino? Do you think they’re very diff? I was curious as I can find the Valentino kinda cheap?
@@SokiLondon the Voce viva not the intense ha with the paradoxe ( not the intense ) ha I should have put this comment in the other paradoxe review the original! Oopsie but yes the notes of the Voce Viva seem similar? Haven’t smelled that one! But I got my nose on paradoxe via a sample as I think? It’s the orange blossom mixed with vanilla is yummy!
I wanted to get Paradoxe for my everyday autumn fragrance, but P. Intense coming out.. I feel like P. Intense is more autumny, forest, fire burning.. moodier maybe.
I blind bought a travel size of the original and received the Intense instead. It almost made me puke. Nothing but florals at first then the dry down on me revealed nothing but musky amber. It left a sharp metallic, tangy taste in my mouth. Im not even sure i will bother with the original now😢

Interesting that so many feel this is a feminine scent. I think it is gender-neutral, leaning more masculine. I like it, but wouldn’t purchase as I prefer feminine fragrances.
I’m a male 21 years old… I bought this for myself to wear 😂 it’s the most amazing scent I have ever experienced
Thats good!! Honestly scent is something that can be worn by anyone regardless of marketing. x I have worn certain masculine fragrances from parfums de marley and no one would know unless I told them
Me too, it’s gorgeous. I used to have the original last year and now I have the intense😊
Is it summer based perfume?
@@ajishaohona8269i think you are good to wear it all year round, the intense is more a night perfume but i think it’s smells better and it lasts sooo good + has an amazing projection 😊

Layer the original with Kayali Eden Juicy Apple and you’ll smell like Starburst candy.
I would suggest more paradoxe intense, i tried original first but after tried intense one was more captivating
I was waiting for this rewiew more then ever ❤❤❤i was checking evreyday that someone make a first rewiew about it thank you
Got it out as soon as i could 😎
My sister got the original for this Christmas and I tried it and I liked it to me to my nose. It smells in the same family as Dylan purple from Versace in a way.

Love the original, but I can wear it only in fall, winter. Its so strong. I can't imagine how strong would be the intense version 😃
It would be a bomb!
I have the intense version and it’s really strong, I’m going to college and I think I sprayed a little too much so I’m worried now 😂
@@cutefeto7789thats funny because i love the intense
Love the intens omg!!!!! Love love loveeee
Paradoxe is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! I like the intense also, but LOVE the OG. A bubble of intoxicating fragrance surrounds you with this. 🥰
it is such a HAPPY and ADDICTIVE smell tne original!!!!
Absolutely LOVE the original of this! Thanks for sharing you, are the hardest working youtuber❤😊
Wow, thank you!
Intense is sooooooooooo much better 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ wahnsinn!
I cant imagine paradoxe getting any better
I received both as samples. Love both! I think they're both sexy smelling perfumes. Long lasting and I'm needing to buy both in full size. ❤
do it
unisex?? i know we're going through a time where everyone can do and wear everything, but if a male approached me with this..i would probably think he accidentally used his sister's perfume
I love Prada Paraoxe ❤
Got this for my girl as a Christmas gift, hope she likes it

😱😱😱, i can't wait for the release in the US
They just came out with a floral version! Your prediction came true!
hehe amazing! I will get it when it's available in the UK
I can not imagine a man wearing Prada Paradox🤣 It’s so sweet a definitely feminine🙈
Curious to smell the newest version.
I wear it sometimes when I'm feeling brave enough and I'm going somewhere that I don't care what people think of me 😂
