Nexa Musée

I've been on the hunt for a Paradoxe dupe for probably a year. Ever since I tried the original anyways. I've had the OG gifted to me a couple times in 1.6 and travel size. I used it all up because I loved it so much, I wore it all the time. I prefer getting perfumes in 3.4 oz for $50 USD and below. It's very difficult to find that type of thing with certain perfumes, Paradoxe being one of them. I can find a good deal every now and again with smaller bottles but Ive yet to find a 3.4 oz under $100 USD. All that just to say....I've finally found her dupe. Near perfect dupe. Thank heavens. I've tried so many of the different fragrances that people put in the "smells like" section and nothing was doing it for me. However this Nexa Musee is just perfect. It feels like it may lack the tiniest bit of richness in the base but I can overlook that. It's basically spot on. I would like multiple backup bottles of this in case they ever stop making it or it becomes unavailable on Amazon.

First impression :) I have smelled paradoxe once or twice, and from what I remember this comes pretty close, but I wouldn't take my word for it as a spot on dupe :'D On my skin the opening is a bright citrussy floral blast. The tuberose is definitely there, but it's not in the front and center like in My way. As it dries down the citrus calms down and the florals get a bit softer and sweeter. Still really floral. I don't have much to say about the drydown other than it's nice and pleasant ("designery", mass appealing). Reminds me a liiittle bit of donna born in roma drywown a bit but that one has def more vanilla. I haven't worn this a lot so I'm not yet sure about the performance, but at least on paper this lasted a full day (sprayed in the morning, could still smell it in the evening after work).

I have the OG, the intense and the virtual flower, I think this one (musee) brand new and on first spray is closer to virtual flower and the OG. I would like to let it sit for like a month and see if it evolves. I will use it in combination with my original pradas, to top up the scent and have a travel size with me, but I am already thinking... if this is this good, I might not repurchase the original perfumes. Also... the packaging is beautiful!

A sweet vanillic white floral in the same family as Valentino Born in Roma Donna. I have never tried Prada Paradoxe before but this is beautiful and gets better with time. The tuberose is very prominent but it isn't headache inducing like it is in My Way. It's more presented in a sweet bubblegum fashion. The bottle is also very pretty. If you're a white floral lover, this is right up your alley.

I really bought this out of curiosity as it was so inexpensive. I wasn't expecting much but wowser - its a proper bobby dazzler! Straight out of the gate its "HELLO IM HERE" Sparkling citrus with florals, a real high. It settles in a few minutes to a rich creamy tuberose & yellow florals - quite long lasting.
