About this item
Prada keeps Paradigme remarkably minimal, built around just four materials across all three stages. Calabrian bergamot handles the entire opening alone, bright and citrus-clean, offering little indication of the density to come. A green bourbon geranium accord fills the center stage by itself, herbal and slightly floral, bridging that citrus top with the resinous base ahead. Ambery woods, Peru balm, benzoin and guaiac wood round things out rich and resinous, giving Paradigme Cologne a considerably denser finish than its minimal structure suggests. Aromatic woody is the fitting classification, structured for evening wear while remaining workable on a cooler afternoon. It suits dinners, celebrations and any cool-weather occasion calling for considerable depth. Fall and winter favor this dense, resinous structure most, once that richness has had time to settle. Four materials total doing this much work by the finish is an efficient structural choice most fragrances at this density rarely attempt.
