Autumn notes in perfume: patchouli, amber, cinnamon and vanilla

Overall impression

Paradigme is a fragrance that aligns with Prada's philosophy of combining classic and modern. The oriental-woody composition combines the freshness of bergamot and the lightness of musk with an aromatic heart of geranium and a deep, balsamic base. This masculine perfume is elegant, expressive, and long-lasting—created for the man conscious of his style.

Openly

The composition opens with Calabrian bergamot combined with musk . This combination creates a feeling of cleanliness and freshness, but with a light, sensual touch that immediately establishes the fragrance's character.

Heart

In the heart, we find bourbon geranium and sweet pelargonium . These aromatic notes add elegance and a modern "green" edge to the fragrance. This is where Paradigme gains its distinctiveness and classic masculine character.

Base

The finish is composed of benzoin, Peru balsam, and guaiac wood . This base is oriental, warm, and slightly smoky. Peru balsam adds sweetness, benzoin adds depth, and guaiac wood creates a noble, woody finish.
