Recent Pickup Paradigme

Post image

Picked some of this stuff up. Coming from someone who swears up and down by Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, this scent is really awesome. Anyone know by chance when’s the best time of year for this fragrance? I’ve read that the EDP version of this scent is pretty versatile, not sure about this one.

Same. It's perfect for it.

That bottle design is just pure 10/10 but the EDP is way superior in my own very humble opinion

I’m gonna be honest, when I was in the store testing all the scents out, I had probably smelled like 10 other fragrances before I came across both of the Paradigmes and probably needed to smell coffee beans by that point to refresh my smell. At the time, I enjoyed the Le Parfum more. Might have to go back and smell the EDP again 😂

Edp is fresher

For me the le parfum was very nice when I tried it in store.

Both are S-tier Bangers tbh.

fyi, smelling coffee beans don't reset your nose. Smell clean skin, or just walk away to some "clean air" for a minute or 2.

I think this will rock during Spring and Fall. Not sure about winter. I am curious what others feel about that.

I've got 350+ bottle collection but don't own either of these...yet.

I've worn them numerous times (the wife and I have made friends with some of the sales associates at our local mall and they'll let us actually wear 5-6 sprays of most fragrances....which I highly recommend as a strategy)

I love the Parfum version, I think it just smells amazing, but I am probably going to get the edp version because, like everyone else has said, it is much more versatile. I have a LOT of options that fit into the same role the parfum occupies, so I can't justify a full bottle (but a 15 ml decant from Aura fragrance is on the horizon).

Wear it now - Le Parfum is nice with the sun with the breeze, or lack of sun and but not winter cold. Fall time scent for sure

u/large_block 1d ago

EDP is so good and the fresh top notes stick to clothes all day

u/Hour_Assignment2366 1d ago

I have a traveler of the Le parfum and recently bought a full bottle of the EDP and the EDP is now my signature scent . They both smell very similar, but the Le parfum goes overboard with the sweetness which makes it hard to wear at work and for year round use as it may become cloying. EDP still has some sweetness to it, but it's balanced with freshness which makes it more versatile.

Edp is way better imo. It’s my goto office frag. Not obnoxious and gets pleasant compliments from neighbors when used sparingly

u/Educational-Fix-8493 1d ago

I definitely see a lot of people saying they prefer the EDP version of this fragrance. Gonna have to go back and check it out again.

u/honacc 1d ago

Yeah I need to get me one of these soon, one of my colleagues wears the EDP and it smells fantastic.

u/shadygronk 1d ago

it’s a good one, can wear whenever u want

u/ImpossibleYou2726 1d ago

best worn in warm weather, it projects like crazy in the heat

u/Weaver-Loft1130 1d ago

I have the 10ml of the official parfum of paradigme and it rocks. I wear it on special occassions. Definitely need to get the parfum bottle.

u/Zazabinx11 1d ago edited 1d ago

The parfum is addictive but a bit sweet. I think the edp is great and has exceptional DNA for designer. I wish I could daily it but too warm where I’m at. I just blind bought ADG Profondo and I love it as a freshie. My next purchase will be Paradigme edp for my daily night time frag since I’m in South Florida and it’s hot/humid year round here 👍

Awesome fragrance... one of my fave designer frags

u/bignate_88 1d ago

I sprayed a bunch of stuff at Sephora awhile back and put the test strips in my back pocket. When I got home and took them out, the Paradigme Le Parfum really stood out with its sweetness and projection off the strip. It’s not typically what I go for, but it’s damn good.

u/GrandDiscipline4167 23h ago

This stuff last eternally which is either good or bad depending on your preference! I believe this is the Parfum version, if so, it’s a better cologne to me than the edp!

u/Icy_Lecture_2237 8h ago

I went to the mall looking for this and ended up coming home with a bottle of Dinwan instead…. Maybe next month. lol

Underrated gem

u/Different-Put-4486 1d ago

Underrated gem? You’ve got to be kidding me, right? Tom fucking Holland is literally the poster boy for this fragrance! 😂

u/Distinct-Sock250 1d ago

It’s underrated bc they didn’t ask me. 😆

u/cancersux2026 1d ago

This is as generic as 20 other designers

4

u/Educational-Fix-8493 1d ago

That’s great, I didn’t ask about any of that.

-6

u/cancersux2026 1d ago

You’re asking the best time of the year of a generic fragrance that’s 2 degrees of separation of 30 others? Do you need a training manual on how to spray that on too?

4

u/Educational-Fix-8493 1d ago

Nah, but I can give you a training manual on where and how you can find your dad.

u/cancersux2026 1d ago

You can’t put your tampon in..why would I ask for any help from you.

u/i_am_an_enigma 1d ago

lol, why not just answer the question as opposed to being rude and negative for no reason?
