Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and intriguing, Paradox swings between an initial sharp citrus and a sweet, powdery violet-iris drydown. Some find it a charming nostalgic trip, while others might not get past its strident opening. Definitely one to sample first.
A divisive scent, many find this orange blossom and grapefruit bomb beautiful and clean, but for a good number, it's just a soapy disappointment that's far too basic for its frankly absurd price tag.
