Secrets du Paradis Rouge

Orange blossom and honey surrounded by benzoin, vanilla with some hints of smokiness made me fall in love with this beauty! Admittedly, it was not love at first sniff albeit it was a big like! The travel size was more than enough to make me love this enough for it to become FB.Great performance and a compliment grabber at that, although I do not wear my fragrances to get compliments, it is nice to get noticed. For those of you who love sweet, fruity honey+orange blossom combos, this is a must try!

Oooohhh I’m so seduced by this fragrance. It’s really sexy. A huge burst of sweet white flowers, orange flower, honey and spice. It’s narcotic. This would make an incredible bridal scent. It really blooms when your skin warms up. I got a decant in winter but I bet this sings beautifully in hot weather. I’ll have to find a full bottle by then. Just gorgeous. 9/10

I am wearing Secrets du Paradis Rouge and I think it's more floral than fruity with the orange blossom and neroli being the biggest projectors. As the top notes settle the slightest hint of honeyed vanilla and almond open up giving it a softer sweetness though it's fresher than it is sweet. After a few minutes it smells like i've just peeled into a fresh nectarine or orange. The rind opens up and the oils from the citrus burst out. The citrus never really goes away, just blends into the florals while the rest of the notes hover gently underneath them. I think this is a beautifully composed fragrance but it isn't as sweet as I would have liked and it has fairly moderate projection. On the whole, I think this would be a great addition for someone that likes soft, citrusy florals. I'll enjoy testing out my sample.

Goes on a fruity floral that I thought was derivative then the Jul et Mad magic happened. I wouldn't buy a full bottle of this but it is like nothing else. So rich and deep and layered. The citrus up front fades while the floral rises. It still remains fruity. In the middle I can smell the vanilla. In the dry down, the woods and patch rise. It end up being a musky woody scent that is much more than a fruity floral. It's worth a sniff.

This is super beautiful. I'm a big orange / orange blossom fan, but this is a really interesting and fresh take on it. That said, in the end, I don't think it fits my personality. It's a bit too ... stately? I prefer my fragrances to be a little more pulsating and alive. This one is absolutely gorgeous — especially the almond note — but it feels very mature in a way that doesn't quite suit me.
