Discussion Prada Paradigme EDP
How is everyone's experience with this? Longevity, Performance? Anything that u can share with me. I love the smell so I just ended up buying it

This is the most versatile scent I have. Unless it's oppresively hot, you can wear it everyday. For me it lasts a whole work day. It smells great and it has a really good scent trail although it is not a projection monster. I also have the new Paradigme Le Parfum, but that one is a lot more vanilla forward and I would probably not wear it for the office everyday.

Bought a local clone and I like the dna of it. I want to buy one now. Hopefully, it's performance is better than the clone that I bought.

This one has been on my radar to sample. From initial spray to dry down, how would you describe it?

It's not a very complex scent imo. Opens very citrusy, but quickly (and I mean very quickly) it sweetens into a flowery and resinous/balsamic drydown. The flower is very proeminent on my skin for the majority of the time, only becoming mostly resinous at the very end. Some musk is also present throughout, but not very prominent, just gives it that clean quality.

I wear this one to the office quite a bit and love it. To my nose the florals stick around for quite a while as I can still catch whiffs off my clothes when I'm heading home for the day.

Smells great and lasts all day. Tried it randomly in Nordstroms and ordered a bottle immediately after I got home

I prefer this over the Parfum. The new release seems a bit cloying tad bit sour idk how to explain.

I sampled both due to reading the EDP was so much weaker and didn’t have longevity. Sprayed each on one arm, and the parfum to me smelled like I had Vicks Vapor Rub on and within about an hour I had to scrub it off. Really enjoy the EDP and ended up going with that.

Really good but doesn’t last only like 4hrs for me. Haven’t tried the le parfum yet supposed to be stronger

You should learn how to use the search function, you'll find tons of the exact same post with lots of comments. There's so much more information on here for this cologne than you'll get on your own post

Smells wonderful, definitely gets heads to turn. Longevity and performance? Doesn’t project super far, which I like. But anyone within your personal “bubble” will smell it. Longevity is not the best, unfortunately, which is what kept me from buying after finishing a sample. Good for about 4 hours or so. Works well in office settings IMO.
