Prada Paradoxe Intense Eau De Parfum

Prada Paradoxe Intense Eau de Parfum launched in 2023 as a deeper, more powerful interpretation of the original Paradoxe. Created by perfumers Nadège Le Garlantezec, Shyamala Maisondieu, and Antoine Maisondieu, this composition intensifies the contrast between soft and strong, light and shadow. It retains the floral-amber DNA of the original but infuses it with added depth, mossy intrigue, and a lingering, skin-like sensuality.

The opening is crisp and vibrant with bergamot essence and juicy pear accord, balanced by the radiant freshness of neroli bud. This trio creates a luminous and lightly sweet introduction, with the pear lending a soft juiciness and the bergamot adding a citrusy brightness. The neroli bud continues to evoke the clean floral signature of Paradoxe, but with a slightly greener edge.

At the heart of the fragrance, neroli essence and jasmine superinfusion form a richly textured floral bouquet. The inclusion of a moss accord adds a new earthy dimension, grounding the white florals with a verdant, subtly bitter greenness. This pairing gives the heart more intensity and character, shifting the fragrance into bolder territory while maintaining elegance.

The base is where the true intensity lies. Ambrofix™—a high-impact amber molecule—wraps the skin in warm, resinous depth, while bourbon vanilla adds creamy richness. Serenolide™, a new-generation musk, delivers a long-lasting, second-skin finish that is soft, sensual, and subtly addictive. Together, these notes provide a luxurious, modern warmth that feels both powerful and intimate.
