Light describes the original Paradoxe well, but this Intense Perfume from Prada pushes further, pear, neroli and bergamot opening juicier and more concentrated. Moss, jasmine and neroli essence deepen the core into something earthy and floral at once, the repeated neroli note adding continuity. Bourbon vanilla, vanilla, amber, ambrofix and serenolide close the drydown warm, sweet and unmistakably modern. Neroli appearing in both the top and the core is a deliberate echo, tying the fresher opening to the deeper heart that follows. Paradoxe Intense Perfume is a citrus fruity Eau de Parfum, suited to evening wear and special occasions. Prada intensified every stage without losing the original's character.
