Dior Paradise

One of, if not the BEST, fragrances I’ve ever smelled. I have no earthly idea... as in I cannot wrap my brain around the idea of someone not liking this smell, never mind hating it. Reading the comments is insanity to me. I need to grab the newer version of Dior Homme Intense so I went ahead and stocked up on Doir Homme Sport, the EDT, and Parfum. Bought directly from the Dior store online and I was lucky enough to get Paradise as one of the samples. And wow. Just wow! It’s airy, this deep orange with a not too sweet almond... it says this is a gourmand but I don’t view this fragrance as one at all. This can be worn during the day, at night.. it makes you smell incredible but it also has a very expensive smell. I’m no slouch, I own well over 200 + fragrances, most of them designers and most of them bought at full price directly from the house. I LOVE this fragrance. Granted, I’ve only worn this three full days to test out. It has above average staying power. I get 5-6 hours of constant projection. After that it when it becomes a skin scent you literally cannot stop smelling your hand... it’s one of those scents that just spoke to me the instant I smelled it. Price. Yea, it’s expensive but it’s Diors private line so of course it is. They offer Paradise in (3) sizes - 1.7 for $231 | 3.4oz for $350 | 6.8oz for $495. I’d say that I love this so much I would normally have already made the purchase. But I’m going to instead of buying the 6.8oz I’m grabbing the 3.4oz and grabbing another 1.7 of Dior Lucky. That said, I believe this is now my signature scent. I adore this fragrance and I would say that if you enjoy Dior Homme and enjoy that DNA... this absolutely dries down into a Dior Homme DNA... just a lot more citrusy with an almond there but not a super sweet almond. Again, you can wear this during the day 100%. Love it!!

First, I understand that fragrance is subjective. However I’m appalled by all of the hate and negative comments on here. This fragrance is STUNNING. I’ve been wearing it for a few days now and I fall in love more and more with each wearing. It’s fresh, clean, juicy and it’s not so much of a gourmand. It’s just beautiful. I get 6-7 hours of projection with amazing silage and I still smell it on my clothes the next day in my closet just lingering in the air mixed with my LVs in my closet coming off my clothes. It’s such a compliment getter!!! I’m definitely making this a signature for sure! Btw I have around 200 bottles so far in my collection. Nuff said.

Not understanding the hate for this fragrance. It starts off with a burst of citrus and orange, and quickly dries down to a somewhat powdery almond. This part of the dry-down does have a soapy aspect. As it dries down further, I get the woody citrus notes back. Never smelled the syrup or tonka, nor a bitter tart lime. I do agree with another user that it makes a really nice layering fragrance. Overall, this fragrance does take a journey. I do wish the opening citrus lasted a bit longer than 20-30 minutes, but after an hour or so, the soapyness went away and I smelled some citrus again. I do enjoy the fragrance and will wear it frequently this Summer.

Smells very similar to Lacoste L’homme, which was a cheapie darling of the youtube world 10-15 years ago. Makes me wonder if there is a rhubarb note causing the citrusy dissonance in the first hour of Dior Paradise. Anyway its good, but thats why lots of people are smelling a familiarity to 90s frags because their were a few of these citrusy orange blossom fragrances around at the time which could trace their lineage to Kouros but had moved onto fruitier territory that was popular in the 90s. But Lacoste L’homme came later and added that rhubarb which created this interesting dissonance (some would say it smelled cheap) against the citrus notes

Do people who write these reviews even try the fragrance? Or give it a full wear? This is great! I blind bought a bottle of this because I personally like a few of MFKs creations at Dior. Bois Talisman and Cuir Saddle being two that I thoroughly enjoy, now along with this one... This is in the same realm as what LV did with Afternoon Swim, but a bit sweeter. Smells like a freshly cut orange with a “sweet” backbone, probably from the “syrup” and “almond” notes. Perfect summertime fragrance! As most citrus forward scents, it has just average longevity and average sillage, but it isn’t made to last forever or be “beast mode”.
