Prada Paradoxe Intense ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 1 August 2023 10 Comments

Prada will launch Paradoxe Intense, a new fragrance for women. Paradoxe Intense is a flanker to 2022's Paradoxe.

A timeless floral bouquet is pushed to extremes: the freshness of the Neroli bud radiates from the top notes, supported by luminous bursts of Bergamot and Neroli essence. This freshness is contrasted by the addicting florality of the Jasmine superinfusion in an exceptional aura.

Here, the heart becomes bolder and more sensual with an addictive Moss accord. In the background, musks of natural origin transcend one another. Serenolide™ is accompanied by Moxalone, giving way to an Amber signature, rendering it even more avant-garde. The Ambrofix™ resulting from biotechnology vibrates even more, while the infusion of Vanilla Bourbon fuses with the natural Vanillin extracted from rice.

Like the original Paradoxe, Paradoxe Intense was developed by perfumers Nadège Le Garlantezec, Shyamala Maisondieu and Antoine Maisondieu. Additional notes include pear.

Prada Paradoxe Intense will be available in 30, 50 and 90 ml bottles and in a 100 ml refill.

    My my, getting real tired of all ingredients that are “addictive”. I hope this smells better than the original. I really like the bottle but was a bit angry with Prada for the generic scent.

      Addictive AND addicting. Talk about running the gamut.

    Lost all hopes in Prada fragrances since they got into the L’Oreal boat. Paradox smelled so generic but I’ve never seen such a huge marketing invest.

      Huge! And actually I thought Emma Watson’s commercial was surprisingly clichéd.

    Did the perfumers mentioned work with Prada before the acquisition? I mean, “ Prada perfumes under new management! Moving on from Prada’s reputation for unique and wearable scents we have succeeded in creating the perfectly generic odor. Buy this and you will never have to smell different again!” Is a pretty lousy message of ugh, I am still not over my little reaction to the latest vax. Sorry, I will retire to the cozy blanket nest I have huddled under all day!..

      Aw, sorry you are not feeling 100% meredifay! Vaccinations always make me feel crap.

    Didn’t care for the original. Not planning to try this one.

    Should be easy to find at Macy’s. The last time they had a promotion, there was was a display of Paradoxe boxes which I thought were perfume sets. When I went to pick one up just to see what’s inside, one of the SAs 🛑 me and said they were for display only. Okaaaaaay … bye Felicia.
