The fragrance unfolds through three key layers: top notes bring sweet neroli and orange flower absolute, echoing the floral core of Paradoxe. Heart notes introduce a salted pistachio accord, its roasted, slightly salty profile surprises and invites curiosity. At the base, creamy sandalwood brings warmth and a modern feel, creating a lingering, sensual trail.
Prada calls this creation a sophisticated gourmand, one that reinvents Paradoxe’s sensorial floral character. The master perfumers Nadège Le Garlantezec, Shyamala Maisondieu, and Antoine Maisondieu chose iconic ingredients and reshaped them to bring out novel olfactory contrasts.
Prada designed the bottle to reflect the brand’s minimalist and disruptive identity. The flacon evokes the iconic triangular Prada logo. The packaging embraces sustainability and refillability. Prada offers a 100 ml refill that replaces the need for two 50 ml bottles. The design minimizes glass weight, and all paper packaging carries FSC MIX certification, proving it comes from responsibly managed forests.
This environmental design extends to both box and bottle, with recyclable materials throughout. Buyers support reduced packaging waste and fewer resource-intensive units by refilling rather than rebuying. Prada characterizes its renewed fragrance offering as honoring the multidimensional woman, someone who evolves yet remains authentic.
Despite its gourmand heart, the scent retains elegance and polish. It speaks to women who seek a floral signature transformed by adventurous textures, sweet neroli, salty pistachio, soft sandalwood, layered into a scent that feels both edible and sophisticated.
Within the fragrance’s formal launch, Prada ensures every element reflects the same ambition: refined scent, bold ingredient pairing, and modern environmental solution. Packaging design, recyclable materials, and shape innovation all tie back to the House’s core vision of reinvention.
Prada Paradoxe Radical Essence speaks to those who love the original’s floral foundation but crave a richer finish.
