From the brand - "Prada Paradoxe Radical Essence is the most concentrated expression of Paradoxe. This sophisticated gourmand reinvents the sensorial floral signature of the original fragrance, elevating it with unexpected edible notes and deeper intensity."
Fragrantica - "Opens up sweet warm and nutty / popcorn smell but once dried down it has a really unusual wood y sweet scent that comes through. Il like what the person below says about scents reacting different in warmer weather, I totally agree the can all smell so different in different climates. I was a fan of the OG and the intense and low I own this new one. It’s strong and long lasting and unique."
Fragrantica - "This is a salted caramel pistachio at start and thirty minutes later it became a flowery neroli scent with intense projection . It's overwhelming for hot weather. I guess that in fall and in cold weather it with give much more smoother vibes. Interesting changes in the notes when it combines with the skin. You must try so you can discover if you like it or not"
Fragrantica - "I haven't got along well with the Prada Paradox line so far, as the ambroxan and fruity notes bothered me, but this is very different! It's nutty, white floral, almost animalic and woody. It's sweet but not sugary sweet, definitely not sickly. It's also quite strong, so I'm hoping it lasts and projects well. I would give this a try if you're a fan of nutty fragrances and enjoy white florals!"
