Prada Paradigme was released in 2025, created by Marie Salamagne, Bruno Jovanovic and Nicolas Bonneville as a counterpart to Paradoxe. Notes of bergamot, musk, geranium, benzoin, Peru balsam and Guaiac wood. Prada Paradigme is an EDP, eau de parfum. From the brand - "Paradigme, a fragrance that transcends traditional preconceptions by asking – what if there’s another way? A question as an invitation to experiment and open new perspectives. Paradigme Eau de Parfum expresses sophistication and avant-garde in an unexpected masculine ambery woody scent."
Fragrantica - "A longlasting fresh scnet with a balsamic base. The Peru Balsam is the star of the show here with it's vanillic tendencies. The Geranium is more floral than bitter-green or aromatic. That start can give you the feeling of MYSLF but they are completely different. MYSLF is fresher, citrusy and much floral. This is a bit floral but with the vanillic base. Benzoin is also there and it gives also vanillic nuances but it's drier and it's more in the same vein as in Roma Uomo. Overall, great scent."
Fragrantica - "Interestingly, it starts in the middle – fresh and floral right out of the gate. Soon, the balsamic elements rise, green and sometimes citrus accords weaving through without overtly standing out. There’s a real shift to the nose, a kind of olfactory shape-change that makes the name feel fitting. I don’t catch the MYSLF resemblance; those are brighter, more overtly feminine. Paradigme leans into an ambery undertone that feels true to Prada, even if it didn’t come from DA’s hand. Familiar notes at first glance, but the tailoring could only be from this house."
Fragrantica - "it definitely needs to be on skin to experience it. I first smelled it on test strip and thought it was a soapy/fougere but somehow green and immediately reserved my bottle. Like a rookie I forgot to wait for the drydown because I was a little disappointed in how much it changed. Also a rookie move was to skip testing on skin. Strangely and thankfully on skin it behaved in a completely different manner. On skin the soapy fougere was not pronounced and the dry down happend much quicker making the scent pretty linear. Two sprays is probably the right amount for me but it's so hard to resist applying more but it could easily turn from sexy to annoying, Paradigme is strong. I feel like it's a scent for playtime not work. Edit: If you couldn't tell, I dig it."
