Paradigme Eau de Parfum (by Prada, composed by master perfumers Marie Salamagne, Bruno Jovanovic, and Nicolas Bonneville) belongs primarily to the Amber Woody / Aromatic Balsamic fragrance family. Built around the concept of an "inverted olfactory pyramid," Prada Paradigme contrasts a heavy, dark balsamic foundation with an airy, mentholated floral-citrus top. It opens with a crisp, luminous burst of Calabrian bergamot and clean white musk, transitions into a refined, green-floral heart powered by a dual-extract of Bourbon and rose geranium, and grounds on a dense, smoky-sweet base of Peru balsam, benzoin resin, guaiac wood, and amberwoods.
