PRADA PARADOXE fragrances are an expression of the unexpected; they embody the creative and innovative spirit of the international luxury brand. PRADA PARADOXE RADICAL ESSENCE now reinvents the gourmand style and turns it on its head: The floral-woody fragrance interprets this modern fragrance family with its subversive, avant-garde twist in a surprising and inspiring way.
Even more intense, even more concentrated: PRADA PARADOXE RADICAL ESSENCE unleashes unprecedented powers and pushes the boundaries of emotional expression. More than a fragrance – an ode to the most contradictory and complex feelings, a multifaceted homage to the multidimensional personality… tailor-made for the woman who is never the same – yet always radically herself.
Uninhibited, unrestricted, and indefinable: With authentic self-expression, no aspect of personality remains, no emotion remains hidden. PRADA PARADOXE RADICAL ESSENCE pays tribute to femininity and celebrates the power of the true self as a means to unlock limitless possibilities.
SURPRISING GOURMAND STYLE – MORE SENSUAL THAN EVER
To develop PARADOXE RADICAL ESSENCE, the three master perfumers Shyamala Maisondieu, Nadège le Garlantezec, and Antoine Maisondieu selected truly exceptional natural ingredients. Unique fragrance accords perfectly express their individual character, revealing unexpected, stunning new facets of the PARADOXE signature.
„PARADOXE represents a bold new concept that combines sensuality with stunning freshness – and our latest creation further explores this multidimensionality. By playing with contradictions, we have succeeded in creating a fragrance experience that is both modern and sophisticated, thus remaining true to Prada’s avant-garde credentials.“ – Shyamala Maisondieu, Nadège le Garlantezec, and Antoine Maisondieu, Master Perfumers of the
PRADA PARADOXE collection
One year after PRADA PARADOXE VIRTUAL FLOWER reinvented floral perfume, Prada is revolutionizing another iconic fragrance family, bringing together the unexpected to completely reimagine the classic gourmand style.
RADICAL ESSENCE is the addictive reinterpretation of PARADOXE from the very first second: The fragrance expresses the floral character of the original fragrance with neroli oil and orange blossom absolute in a sensationally new way. Its heart note, a sophisticated salty pistachio accord, irresistibly defines gourmand. The balance of sweet and salty notes is both contrasting and harmonious; it symbolizes the characteristic, distinct contradictions of femininity. A creamy sandalwood accord has a soothing effect and leaves an unforgettable, deeply sensual aftertaste.
„PARADOXE RADICAL ESSENCE reinvents gourmandise: The fragrance integrates innovative elements while remaining true to the identity of the original fragrance. Its unique and unexpected character emerges from the daring interplay of salted pistachio and orange blossom. This combination creates an olfactory experience that goes far beyond usual expectations; it combines creamy and honeyed notes with woody nuances, while incorporating modern elements such as musk and vanillin.
This innovative approach redefines gourmandise in a surprising new way, making the fragrance experience as surprising as it is sophisticated.” – Shyamala Maisondieu, Nadège le Garlantezec and Antoine Maisondieu, Master Perfumers of the PRADA PARADOXE collection
