Paradise

i love this one, i was reluctant to buy it till it reached an offer where it doesn't hurt to try even if it sucked!! but now i regret not buying this beauty long ago, it's spicy and acidic and i'm loving the fact that it's not flowery nor fruity because i'm basically fed up with those, i'm surprised it doesn't state the many acidic notes my nose detect, they're so prominent and distinguishable and more importantly... chic chic chic, the citric notes combined with musk and woody notes hit my nose first (i'm aware that those aren't really the top notes but that's how it smells on my skin), hours later (yes i said hours YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY) cedar and a hint of the valley make a shy entrance taking note that citruses and woody smells don't like visitors, smell doesn't fade away till 12 hrs later or something and everybody can smell it from a distance and ask me "what the heck is this smell? it's different and it's attractive".. well, after hearing those comments, i'm sold, consider me a Paradise fan ;D the dry-down gives me a very chypre vibe which i adore, it's like taking a walk in a forest full of bergamot, lemon, lime, few lilies here and there and wood wood wood everywhere with that zest of fresh air but it doesn't mean it's a light perfume, it's moderately heavy so you can use it proudly for the office ^^ the bottle and color pink suggests load of flowers but trust me, it's nothing like it.

I love this scent. This is heavenly indeed! Paradise is a classic type of parfume in a light, very wearable version. I can smell beautiful blast of freesia and rose giving a juicy, peachy impresion. This note reminds me Benghal without ginger. I find here the same sweet freshness, happiness and excitement. It also has the same kind of deliciousness as Valentino's V. Furthermore, the musky note is very intensive, but this musk is creamy and gentle. There is also a pepper note and it is also mild, almost woodsy, very elegant and seductive. I think it is the same family as Mira Bai, but rather a distant cousin than a sister. Paradise is milder, without that strong sandalwood note, much more musky - floral. It is also more creamy. I find Paradise is also similar in a way to Solliden, I mean in mood it creates - it is for me also a fresh, sweet, rosy , shiny, sunny and happy parfume. In addition, I think Paradise is very well balanced - it is simple yet not linear and develops in a nice way. It is not strong, but the staying power seems good on my skin. I'm fascinated and I recommend it as a light, classy, sexy and interresting scent.

Well, I certainly didn't expect such a gem from Oriflame! It stands out from the crowd of perfumes because of both- the bottle and the scent. The description at Fragrantica is 100% accurate- it really is a spicy musky scent with dominating spicy and musky notes. From the first spray the pepper is so intense, but captivating and addictive at the same time, I really love it. It's a contrast in a bottle, because after a while it stars to dry down to a softer, more delicate, floral scent, but it doesn't become dull and boring, rather luxurious and pretty! However, I believe that some people would rather call this perfume Hell than Paradise, because it is surely not for everyone. Only for those who want a little bit of fresh seductive spiciness and muskiness in their lives. (and who love Miracle by Lancome, it smells very similar)

I ordered this perfume based on reviews, hoping it would fill the gap after one of my discontinued favourites: Max Mara which it definitely has. Paradise is a subtle, peppery floral. I can pick up pink peppercorns and hints of Jasmine and peony. In my opinion this fragrance would compliment a business attire perfectly as I can't help to think that it smells like a professional, confident and succesful lady. Unfortunately it only lasted around 4h and the dry down became more peppery with a hint of spice and less florals. This fragrance is sophisticated but very affordable so worth a try. Overall 7/10 from me.

This was one of my favourite scents. I could enjoy it for about two or three years until Oriflame discontinued it. They come up with such nice fragrances and they discontinue them, unfortunately. Paradise is such a good perfume, I had no idea I was a fan of this kind of scent before buying it for the first time, but it was love at the first sniff :)) It's peppery and fresh at the same time, I was sometimes using this with Tease from Victoria's Secret, what a perfect combo. I still have less than half a bottle, but I only spray it for special occasions.
