Prada Paradoxe

Eau de Parfum Modern feminine floral-amber, neroli bud, sambac jasmine, crisp pear nectar, Ambrofix™ and white musk Stylish everyday wear, romantic date nights, social outings with friends, and spring through autumn

Prada's definitive floral paradox: glowing neroli and orange blossom freshness embraced by an ultra-addictive biotech sweet amber.

Crafted by master perfumers Nadège Le Garlantezec, Shyamala Maisondieu, and Antoine Maisondieu under the creative vision of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, Prada Paradoxe reinterprets the multi-dimensional facets of modern femininity. It opens with an effervescent burst of crisp pear nectar, Italian tangerine, and Calabrian bergamot. The heart captures a bio-extracted neroli bud captured just prior to blooming, complemented by tender orchid and rich sambac jasmine. The base is anchored by Ambrofix™ (a sustainably bio-engineered warm amber), Bourbon vanilla infusion, and Serenolide™ (a velvety white musk). Boasting 8 hours of performance and an expansive trail, it is an instant compliment magnet.
