  • About The Fragrance

    This new signature rethinks gourmand scents with the most addictive Paradoxe: a concentration of unexpected gourmand notes in a sophisticated Parfum. Paradoxe's sensorial floral ambery signature is reinvented with a new gourmand dimension. To open a new perspective on gourmand scents, Prada's master perfumers Nadège Le Garlantezec, Shyamala Maisondieu and Antoine Maisondieu chose iconic ingredients and reinvented them to reveal new olfactory sensations.

    Top notes of the sensorial floral signature of Paradoxe are reinterpreted as a sweet edible flower thanks to the neroli oil and the orange flower heart absolute. Heart notes reveal an unexpected salted pistachio accord, with addictive roasted and salty notes. Base notes of a powerful and creamy sandalwood accord bring sophistication to this gourmand scent for a sensual and modern trail.
  • About The Bottle

    Like the original fragrance, its renewed bottle is an expression of the House's essence of reinvention. In a shift from traditional perfume bottle architecture, the flacon is minimal and delicate at first glance, inspired by the original iconic Prada triangle logo disruptively designed to rest on its side. The Prada coat of arms logo contrasts with the sophisticated deep pink lacquering of the bottle. The outer box of Paradoxe Radical Essence is etched to echo the brand's signature Saffiano leather cross-hatching.

A seriously unique, intense gourmand fragrance

Wow. This is one serious fragrance. For me, it’s much more a winter fragrance. Sweet intensity with a woody and floral gourmand that lasts and lasts and lasts. It reminds me a lot of Alien. I’m not a huge fan of really heavy fragrances usually but this one is so perplexing that I think I actually like it. My husband commented that he doesn’t love it but it is still sexy. So, take that for what you will.

Amazing!

Talk about A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Amazing scent that lasts a very long time! Package design is simple and cute. Glass bottle is a good size but a little on the heavier side.

Don’t love it

The smell is very strong. As soon as I put it on, I instantly didn’t care for the smell.

Love this Fragrance

I love this fragrance. It smells fantastic, the bottle is gorgeous, it really elevates my getting ready process. I usually go for fresh/fruity/floral fragrances but I did really enjoy Prada Radical Essence, it’s unlike any fragrance I’ve ever found. It lasts all day and makes me feel sophisticated.

Not for me, but pleasant scent

(I received this product in exchange for my honest review). Firstly, I loved the packaging. From the box to the bottle it’s all luxurious but not gaudy. Unfortunately, the scent isn’t for me. The pistachio note was interesting, but not as “candied” as I’d hoped for, and the florals gave me a headache. I think this one definitely leans more floral than gourmand, and it’s a little more basic than I’d hoped for with such unique notes. I do think it’s a little too strong for everyday use, but not so opulent that it could only be reserved for special occasions. For someone who likes the scent, I could see this being nice for a regular dinner date.

Good scent but not great

Not the best Prada scent I've had. At least not on the dry down. I wish more Pistachio came out. Doesn't last long but pairs well with another high end scent.
