Paradis Lointains

I loved it because of the gorgeous honey accord, white tuberose and fruity top notes, I agree with the other reviewers it's very floral and fruity at the same time. For me it is not headache inducing, instead it's intoxicating in a good way. It's a very strong, feminine, statement-making fragrance. Notes of the passion fruit are absolutely rare and unusual for me, I rarely see it in the perfumes but here it is blended beautifully! I do agree it's slightly reminding me of the Tiziana Terenzi fragrances because they use passionfruit a lot!

Nose Note #518 Now that's really interesting. I'm digging this honey note. And it's not the honey syrup like I've smelled before in fragrances, this is indeed beewax! For that alone I'll give it a 7. Plus it has very nice white florals, plus I'd say it's unisex, plus it's actually strong! It's like beewax was mixed with white flower buds and a freshly squeezed lemon juice. It's exactly lemon, but I'm getting a citrus vibe. I'd say this is a gem. I can't see why people are giving it dislikes. It's not overly niche. It's nice piece of perfumery that smells super natural! 7.5/10, beewax!

Uff.. This one is quite weird! it is the body smell of someone i know. Wow, it really is! like a soapy slightly animalic clean mix, quite tender and to be honest... it is sexy. Tender gardenia sweetened with air bloom & some tuberose & ylang ylang to animalize the tender. This is quite good to my nose and super sexy, it is a skin close fragrance and the one to use in bed... and also, in an intimacy situations ;)

A complex fragrance. Charismatic, a sweet and velvety tuberose remains very persistent until the end. It evolves slowly becoming more and more mysterious... on the base notes it reminds a little chamomile :). Not bad, certainly there is better but still remains an interesting parfum. Sillage: 6.5/10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Scent: 7./10 Overall: 7./10

The notes are more spectacular on paper than it actually smells upon the skin. Half an hour later and it’s faded away to its own private paradise.

like hairspray in the top then all ozoic with some light tuberose, pepper and florals, very very watery

Very unique and complex, very niche, smells tropical luxurious spicy and gourmand all a once. It's better not to analyze the note pyramid too much as there is a lot to unpack, mostly it smells tropical to me, but not the outright beachy kind, in fact for some reason it reminds me of the part of Croatia that has lots of pines and green areas and those loud insects that stop chirping when you clap. Definitely a little green and piney sunshine in a bottle, I am loving my unique piney tropicals, if you love this, try Vele by Tiziana Terenzi. This one is more honeyed and white floral but gives the same green complex lush tropical vibe both transport me to beautiful places! Good quality ingredients. Doesn't last too well :/ Neither does Vele, perhaps a bit more in the heat. Will have to retry, amazing how different second tries can be - always test a few times!

I have a 2 ml tester of this typical French perfume. Without looking at the notes this immediately reminds me of Lapidus Pour Homme. Only this one is the luxurious version of that classic beastly gem. The ozonic smell is not for me and gives it a strange airy sharpness. This a complex fragrance that has a lot of depth. It goes from fruity to fresh green spices to a waxy honey dry down. The perfumer is Bertrand Duchaufour and that explains the character of this high quality good performing fragrance with many facets. Fruity, sharp, fresh, ozonic, spicy and waxy. I won't buy a full bottle but I am glad I have an official sample.

Paradis Lontains for me is a dark, narcotic, magnetic fragrance, and I must say masterfully crafted. No element prevails, there are spicy notes that open to a tuberose which, accompanied by honey in my opinion in particular, is sensual and mysterious at the same time. Intriguing, I really like it. Would I wear it? I don't know, maybe for me it would be non-descriptive of my personality, which is definitely the opposite. Absolutely for evening. “Retrato de Mujer” painted by Jose Jimenez Aranda.

It's giving bougie dryer sheets, in a good way. Decent clean laundry scent, ozonic quality is headache inducing even after time to oxidize in hopes it would mellow. Great for people who love soapy, musky, powdery floral scents like Dior's Poison. I wish the yellow flowers and honey-wax scent was stronger. 🌼

I was really hoping for a waxy sweet white floral but unfortunately it is too ozonic and headache inducing for my taste. It smells exactly like the chemical cleaner my grandma uses. I’m glad I only bought the sample.

It actually smells like European gardens, you feel like a walking garden when you wear it, which is amazing .. I don't take it as a perfume for everyone, because it's unique and different.

Reminds me some cleaning product, windex maybe. Metallic and fresh. Lasts longer on clothes.
