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.

Finally I got my peppers! Love it. I dare to say that the opening of this is the ultra feminine V&R Spicebomb. At least on my skin. Though I'd hope that those peppers would kick a bit harder.. and longer. I'm the huge fan of rose and always searching the perfect one, but in this case I'd say 'dear rose, don't show up so soon'. I feel the peppers are still there somewhere, but the cliché light pink flower of love is too dominant too soon. But I think I'll get fb. it's on sale and everything..

first time, when i saw commercial for oriflame - paradise, i didnt know what to expect. oriflame calls it musky-woody-floral parfume. because it was quite interesting combination, i must tried it. on my skin it makes very femine scent - musk with a bit of pepper and very soft, sofisticated and lovely coctail made of flowers. its very unique and everybody who sniff it, like it. think, its ideal spring and summer scent for women, who are sofisticated, full of life and have sense for humour.

At first the scent was a little bit strange and somewhat too strong for me, but after a quarter of hours or so, it becomes more balanced and somewhat milder. This stuff is unique, indeed, plus the bottle is pretty. I ended up loving it so much! Edit to add: I don't know why, but sometimes (especially when I'm 'in heat') I feel the pepper notes in it is stronger than usual and somewhat overpowered the other notes... I don't really mind it, though, since I love pepper...

a pepper bomb, it almost made me sneeze! but i liked it cuz it's so unique to me , so soft and feminine , sharp but with roses softness and beaut, i feel the theme of paradise isn't the best to describe it , i didn't feel it , but this is so beautiful, it makes u a little bit sick and *hot* , it's literally PEPPER juice , *with roses and softness yeah but it still hot like hell , i can't wear this except in fall or winter maybe *

I have been in the fragrance game for 6 years, I Have smelled all the commercial perfumes for ladies, and probably one third of the niche market available in the UK. Oriflame Paradise is my signature at the moment. For me, it is the number one choice among Prada L'eau Ambree, Jimmy Choo edp, Chanel No. 5 and Gucci Rush.

This one I really like! It opens up with quite a bit of peppery notes, but soon this becomes softer and then the floral notes come to the surface really beautifully, I think on my skin the freesia appears to be the strongest note, but overall it's very well blended. Longevity and sillage are great! ♥♥♥♥

Yes yes it's so much like Max Mara Le Parfum! I bought one "limited edition". Though it a bit sharper than Le Parfum, but if you really miss discontinued Le Parfum, here you are! And price is very seducing

I was repurchasing it again and again. People were asking me all the time what perfume I'm wearing. It was definitely a nice scent! 👌🏻 😍 I was surprised when I realized it was discontinued.

Best Oriflame perfume. I would pay much more than it costs for it. Spicy and oriental but soft. Lasts many hours, my clothes smell the next day too.

Woww...!!!! this is a really nice fragrance!!!! absolutely amazing...! yeah... anybody can love it!!! ♥♥♥!

Althougt this one is for woman but I still love it !!

Oh my gosh I'm sooooo in love with this parfume!

I am not into "catalogue fragrances", so it is the first ever Oriflame scent I have actually bought. I was just too intrigued with the comparison of Paradise with Max Mara, which being discontinued is hard to come by these days. Creators of Oriflame Paradise really have used pepper as boldly as in Max Mara Le Parfum, so I see why people consider them similar. Sprayed them simultaneously on both wrists: Le Parfum is definitely deeper, more sophisticated and balanced. There is significant amount of pepper, complimented by delicate white flowers and linden blossom. And all the notes wrapped by nutmeg in a cozy woodsy notes blanket. It keeps softly evolving for hours on my skin. Also it has longer staying power. In Paradise Pepper is the star of the show, that center character, who has no respect for other components (although musk tries hard to step in now and then). It keeps a loud appearance till the scent lasts. I can not detect the flowers at all, just some general sweetness and in the dry-down only a whiff of wood ... and then its gone. Longevity on my skin ~3-4h, some pepper I could still detect next day when spraying this on clothes. I LOVE the bottle - so elegantly simple and sturdy. And I HATE the cap, which loudly screams "cheap" even though its made of metal and not plastic. For the 10-15 EUR pricetag - worth to try. Not a bad perfume, once you get over the fact that its Oriflame :)

Most of all I feel the pink pepper note in this fragrance for sure. The floral notes are very noticeable, but I wouldn't say that any of them smells clearly. The cedar note is also noticeable in the base. This fragrance is not bad, but a little bit sharp. But I don't like that despite the many different notes somehow it strongly reminds me Forever and Ever by Dior. The pink pepper note sounds nearly like in Chance by Chanel, but I can't they that they are alike. Despite I hate any pepper notes in fragrances, I have to say that in this fragrance it sounds catchy. Not bad.

omg this stuff is gorgeous, i feel that this has a hermes eau de merveilles tipe of feeling whith his salty tropical fresh note. But this is not a copy cat of hermes is quite different. I'm not an expert describing the notes i feel, but this is perfect for summer it has a goorgeous salty fresh and peppery feeling wich makes me feel so comfortable and clean. The staing power is quite good, it last quite well on my skin but i use the whole package, cream and perfume , i had also the deodorant but finisher it quite quickly. Very good.
