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.

Is very spicy.The mix of pepper&red pepper is so so strong..ohh..but what gets me surprised is the note of incense that goes out from this mix of ingredients..I don't know how they did it but is an atypical perfume, is something unusual , very strong,wild, seductive, powerful..not for everyone!!Very good sillage

i seen that this one has not many reviews for now, but i ordered it and in few days i will write a proper review about this one. For the moment a just tested the scented page and i like it enough to comand it , is creamy and spicy and for the moment i can;t say more cauze i did'nt sniff it enough

Used to love this perfume in my late teen/early adulthood. It was my signature perfume. It is a special one. I was commuting alot to school and met friends after. A perfect fragrance for an urban lifestyle. I was sad when it was discontinued.

I'm wearing it today! It reminds me of Lancome Miracle, it's just a little bit more peppey in the begiing. It's longevity it is moderate. Good for special occasions in daytime, not for every day use. Good to have in the personal collection.

I was very excited about this but it is nothing special.. Yes, it has an interesting pepper head but with a dull generic base. Lacks fullness, body. The pepper is not enough to really provoke the senses and make one like it.

It's spicy perfume combine with flower, but not too much. It's safe, nice and easy to wear everyday perfume. IMHO, it's better than most Oriflame perfume. It's Oriflame, so it doesn't last long.

Lots of pepper, but in a soft, delicate combo. I really like it. I just wish it was a bit stronger. It disappears within the hour on my skin.

I dont hate it but this stuff is too spicey and peppery. I regret buying this. it surely does not deserve its name.

I love this fragrance. On my skin, reminds me a little bit of So Elixir from Yves Rocher.

Open this year with this perfume..and I like it..♥

Good scent, but longetivity is poor.

Rose scents smell awful on me, but this one doesn.t. It.s a fresh, serious, year round fragrance that can be worn when running errands or to an interview since I can.t imagine it disturbing anyone. Works even in quite high summer heat. It doesn.t have the highest quality out there, still it s not cheap smelling.

My sister got it as a present and I decided to try it too. The first three hours after applying it you cant smell anything but pepper and more pepper (it almost made me sneeze!)But if you survive, it eventually gets nice. In my case I grew to like it, however I still think it would be better if it was a little less peppery and just a little bit sweeter. In my opinion its a good daily fragrance for women over 25.

Most certainly not for everyone's taste. It fits best on a strong, yet gentle person, it requires a certain type of maturity that can not be measured in years. I like it but I am not that kind of person (yet). Lasts long, and has also a good sillage for Oriflame. I am sorry to hear it was discontinued.

I bought it because I read the reviews and the bottle is beautiful. But maybe this parfume is not meant for me. After I sprayed it to my body, neck, and wrist, the smell was gone for only 2 seconds. Sadly, it's not suitable when it mixed with my sweat too. But the bottle is pretty for my collection.

if you're not into something peppery, don't buy it. for the first spray the pepper is so intense, then a pleasant flowery something, next I had a whole peppery for a day. very long lasting, though.

It way a blind buy and i completely regret it. I hoped i was goind to find Paradise, but instead of it i found hell.

Pepper + pink pepper + rose = my most hated combo... :( sorry but a huge no for me . Love the bottle though ...

Paradise opens truely spicy.pink pepper,black pepper,even nutmeg(though not listed)but it's not harsh or nose burningly spicy as it's warm flowery-rosey heart blooms and provides a touch of feminity.oh and yes,it has a musky-woodsy base.I'd call it a warm,softly spicy and rather dry scent of peppery rose in a cashmere like base.a truely sophisticated fragrance,not generic and mainstream but not wierdly unique and offensive either.it has some elegance and sensuality while being office friendly.I believe it suits both formal and casual events.not a girly,teenagery one at all.I see it more as a +30 perfume.actually not my type but I appreciate it as a well-made and affordable perfume that doesn't smell cheap even a bit I have a friend whose top favourites were:Amouage Epic woman,Lancome Magnifique,Narciso Rodriguez for her edp(the pink tall bottle),Chanel Coco Noir,Yves Saint Laurent Elle, Lalique Perles,Lalique Enchere Noir pour elle,Azzaro visit for woman and Versace Woman.she is very picky and never used any perfume except mentioned seven perfumes.I bought Paradise for her as a birthday gift and she loved it and called it a new favourite that she can easily wear daily and for office as it's softer than her other faves still is her type(she also liked Oriflame Enigma which I gifted her the other year) I also bought it for my cousin whose signature was Marc Jacobs Lola back then.she also loved it so much that asked me to order two more bottles for her as backups I just have a tiny dabbing sample of it so can't really comment on it's strength but according to my friends experience,it has good longevity and moderate sillage Highly recommended If you're into woody,spicy perfumes with some musky,flowery twist پارادایس یه عطر دخترونه و میوه ای گلی و شیرین نیست اصلاااا رایحه کاملا بالغ و خاص و شیکی داره که کاملا اسپایسی-چوبیه و تو پس زمینه رگه های مشکی-گلی-رزی هم داره که مانع از این میشن که زیادی مسکولین و مردونه طور بشه,باوجود فلفلی بودنش یجورایی سافت و مخملیه و برای محل کار کاملا مناسبه در مجموع همه پسند نیست اما ارزش امتحان کردن داره چون اگه بپسندینش عطری پیدا کردین که خیلی بیشتر از قیمتش میرزه.بیشتر مناسب سنین سی سال ب بالاست و بنظرم پاییز ایده آل ترین فصله براش

Spicy, peppery, warm, and musky. I bought it yesterday on sale, thought that this 'unique' scent could fit me. But unfortunately this perfume is not match with my body chemistry. No matter how much I sprayed it into my skin (wrist, neck, chest) I still barely smell it after 30 minutes. Even people around me couldn't notice that I'm wearing perfume. In fact it is EDP!! The silage is so so poor and it makes me sad! Eventho the smell itself I kinda love it. Unusual smell, like incense, spicy, and mature. If only Oriflame made it with good silage and longevity, I'm sure I won't regret to buy this. But for now, I couldn't say I'm satisfied. :( _____________________________________________________________ Update: June 2017 And... after 1 month use this Paradise, I start like it! :D Haha... yeah, I found out that this perfume doesn't work well on my wrist, but in my neck and hair it smells fantastic and stay longer than I expected. It also stays long in the clothes as well. So I decided to spray this on my neck and hair almost everyday before go to work. And my friends admire it! I like it now! :)

I smell on this 90 percent roses, and 10% something else, but mostly, it's the roses I smell. It's an ok perfume, you can't hate it so it's good to give as a present when you don't want to go wrong because it's not too sweet or too fresh. But it's not what I would call a favourite. Update:I'm starting to really like this stuff. I'm at my second bottle. It's very fresh, flower with a hint of pepper. (It reminds me of Avon Treselle) but it's good for all seasons. It's strange how my taste changed little by little by sniffing the bottle ....:) It took me about half a year to really appreciate it. My hubby also likes it, but he liked it from the start, he says it leaves a nice trail when I pass. I also like about this perfume that on me the smell stays the same as in the bottle, it doesn't transform.

First thing I noticed when I sniffed it from the testing paper in the Oriflame magazine: reminds me of Miracle from Lancome.Nice fragrance, I think many people will like this perfume.Very nice bottle too! Think this fragrance will be nice for the coming spring. P.S. A friend ordered it and I was now able to test it on my skin. It's a very nice scent, it's an eau de parfum so the sillage and longevity is better then from some other scents of Oriflame I own. I'm going to order me a bottle for myself too, it's very flowery,warm and spicy. For people who don't know the scent, if you know how Miracle smells this is about that order too. I saw the bottle in real and it's gorgious!

This was a blind purchase, the bottle is gorgeous, the juice inside is nice, pleasant. A bit peppery, a bit musky, really good for office wear. Update: I have been wearing this for a couple of days and people keep complementing the way I smell, the peppery dry down somehow reminds me of Black XS, I guess Paradise can be considered a lighter and more casual version of Black XS. I recommend this if you want a nice fragrance, that does not smell offensive at the work place. Paradise is a good break from D&G's Light Blue & L'Imperatrice, which everyone at the office seems to wear.

I have to say the same that girls here are writing! this is the first catalougue fragrance ive bought from Oriflame. I was always buying only high rated perfumes like burberry, juicy couture, calvin klein etc... but this one totally got me when i smelled it! i have to say that i even paid only 16 € with deodorant because oriflame put it on big sale that time but i would buy it for any price anytime . its so strong its so freshy and spicy and VERY VERY DIFFERENT. i never smelled anything like this! highly recommend it!

When I saw the paper notes I thought "oh, it's like Lacoste pour Femme, smells like pharmacy" but it's nothin' like that. I could feel the peper right on when sprayed but dried down very quickly in something flowery, but bold. Flowers with personality, a little bit spicy, musky but not my piece of cake.Still, my dog likes it very much, and he feels offended by my perfumes. This one, he could sniff it over and over again without complaining sooo, it's a nice perfume, just give it a chance.I know I will!

Musky, spicy, sexy, a touch floral, superb!!!!! I came across it when I was fiddling with the ' search by notes' section! Oh, this is a sensation! There is a refinement to it, like all the notes, spicy, floral, woody, come together to create this refined, elegant beauty! Very long staying but not too loud, which is part of the allure, OMG, this is seriously classy and elegant, If the notes agree with you and you love spicy florals then look no further! This is my signature for Summer. A GEM.

Paradise is all about peppery rose and musk. The initial notes were very nice and then for about an hour Paradise on my skin smelled like an old school Glade air freshener, the kind that has a gel cone and you lift up the sides to let out the scent. Remember those? Not horrible but not what I want to smell like. When the Glade scent finally left my skin I was left with a decent peppery rose with musk. Not bad, but for this type of scent I much prefer the new Miu Miu Miu Miu.

Dear fellows, I was so overly happy to read that this one is similar to Le Parfum! Now, having read the reviews I am afraid to order it (we don't have Oriflame in Germany as far as I know ): When it smells ambery to someone, it must be on the oriental side? Also cashmere promises a hint of dirty bitternes right? To me, Le Parfum is all about a crispy clean sourness and nutmeg and no sweetness at all, which I adore since sugar is omnipresent nowadays. Please help me out.

I am so torn. This perfume was meant to take me to paradise but instead it took me to church. On my skin it smells like church incense. Church incense(at least the one they use in Catholic churches) mixed with man cologne, the one that i almost pure alcohol. And the weird thing is, I don't hate it. Probably because I like spicy, but warm spicy the most Will gladly swap

I would love it if I'm 50. BUT BUT I'm 20!!!! This's too mature for me T_T I first smell it at the magazine, I was love it! Then I did blind order. I dared say that smell on magazine was very difference from real bottle. the smell on magazine was so wonderful!! pepper is so strong. Then musk made me feel old and little bit headache.
