Oud Paradisio

Something about this fragrance called out to me. I had to buy it immediately upon release. I had to have it shipped from a boutique in france because no one was selling it in the US yet except BDK themselves and I have a boutique in France that I like to buy from. I'm so glad I bought this despite being a blind buy. This fragrance is AMAZING especially on the dry down. The pineapple is subtle to me at opening and I get a lot of Incense and Oud. But let that puppy sit for about 15 minutes and you start getting a dusty rose that eventually starts to sweeten from the ice cream and cocoa. I still get a mixture of the ice cream, incense and rose 8 hours later with the perfect amount of sweetness to make the fragrance alluring and has me wanting to smell myself throughout the day. This is in no way similar to Oud Maracuja outer than the oud lol. 9/10 fragrance for me. Longevity lingers on me into the next day and sillage is also great with only 2 sprays. This is a forever bottle for me. Jordi worked magic with this fragrance

Oud Paradisio from BDK Parfums by Perfumer Jordi Fernández is the most exciting to my nose of the newly released Collection Studio. The pineapple ice cream accord is a unique hook that is attention grabbing and amplified by the use of bergamot and incense in the opening. The mid reveals a light floral rose heart that is slightly sweet and airy. The Thai oud in the base of the fragrance adds depth while supporting the sweet and floral heart of the fragrance. The choice of Thai oud really demonstrates Jordi Fernández's mastery of oud since the facets of Thai oud in particular are truly synergistic to the blend of materials in this fragrance. Another masterpiece from Fernández.

I had the pleasure of testing this yesterday and I was so happy that it didn’t turn into another oud maracuja thing. The first 15 seconds scared me, because I undoubtedly got that almost band-aid like leather+ an overripe fruitiness that oud maracuja has, but oud paradisio changed quickly and for the better. The pineapple ice cream note is smoothhhhh. It’s very creamy and sugary. It has a very light but addictive lactonic quality that smells so edible. The Oud in here is a touch earthy and chocolately and compliments the rose and the pineapple ice cream well. I will purchase this when/if it hits discounters... because $420 is outrageous

I’m digging this release. Echoing the sentiments below, Oud Paradisio is definitely reminiscent of Oud Maracuja, which is no surprise given that it’s the same perfumer. That said, Paradisio feels noticeably smoother, sweeter, and less nuclear (though it is still very strong). The rose is also more prominent here, which gives the composition a prettier, more rounded feel. Honestly, this feels like what Jordi may have wanted Oud Maracuja to be... still bold and fruity, but with a more playful, fun, and wearable vibe. My sample will definitely be turning into a full bottle soon.

This is first and foremost a rose fragrance. The creamy sparkling pineapple opening is addictive. Rose takes over after a hour. “Oud” is just woods. Silver Ceremony is the real oud fragrance in the line. Performance is very good. It’s surprisingly not cloying in the heat and quite versatile.
