Lust in Paradise Extrait

I’m a huge ex nihilo lover (it’s probably my all time favorite house), and I have (or have had) various versions of Lust in Paradise but this is my absolute favorite. As much as I love the original, it can come off a little bit sharp. The extrait has everything that the other versions is missing. I absolutely love the little bit of sweetness without being nauseating. I wore it last night to an outdoor party and got three compliments and I can still smell it on me this morning. I did have to over spray (about 25-30 sprays). I think this would be appropriate any time of year/day if you like florals. I’d also say this is different enough to own both, if you have the original. I have the original Fleur Narcotique and the Extrait and I can’t tell the difference between those, but that’s not the case with Lust in Paradise.

First and foremost, this is different enough from the EDP to justify having both. If Lust In Paradise is your all-weather, all occasions gorgeous fruity floral, the extrait is her amped up, sexy sister. The soft sweetness of peony in the EDP is cleverly dialled up here with rose and rosyfolia, then deepened and sweetened by jasmine and blackcurrant, while cedar wood gives some base to it all. The end result is a perfume that feels totally in line with the original, while also giving you something different that's not just "stronger" than the original, but *more*. I've taken to wearing the EDP during the day and the extrait at night when I'm going out for both, and I absolutely love how this punches things up before I head out again.

Omg these reviews! The Delina comparisons happen every time there’s a new rose scent. Not every rose fragrance is Delina!!! If you’re smelling rose and immediately assuming it’s Delina, chances are that’s simply the only sweet rose fragrance you’re truly familiar with. There are countless rose centered perfumes, each with its own character and composition. It might be time to broaden your olfactory palate a little. A rose accord ≠ Delina. In other news this is simply the best fragrance of 2026, imma have to come back to review this. I currently don’t have the words to describe how stunning this is. 100000/10!!

Louise Turner keeps teasing us with fragrances parallel to La Perla Possibilities and honestly, I’m not complaining. I love the sweet rose/woody/ambrofix DNA so Im here for it. The EDP has that airy, almost sheer quality which keeps it bright, slightly fruity, and effortlessly wearable in warmer weather. This extrait, by contrast, leans into depth. It has a denser, more substantial presence, with a richer woody dry down that gives it a more grounded, unisex feel. Where the EDP reads like a luminous summer floral, this version feels ultimately more at home in cooler weather. All in all, this is a win for me.

I love it. It's a 10/10. But I have to say; I prefer the EDP. It's more unique. The extrait leans alot into PDMs Delina profile. (I own Delina, Delina Exclusive, Lust in paradise EDP and In Paradise) The opening is like Lust in Paradise EDP...The mid is almost identical to Delina, then it finishes back to EDP. I didn't find any increase is sillage or longevity. The sillage might even be slightly less. The EDP is awesome in sillage. Like I said, this is a 10, but it has traded its uniqueness for Delina mass appeal. I'll be sticking to the EDP
