Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inspired by Paradoxe

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Prada's Paradoxe (2022) - the Daniela Andrier and Quentin Bisch neroli-jasmine-musk composition fronted by Emma Watson that became Prada's modern feminine flagship, here translated into a neroli-pear opening over jasmine and a musk close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and date wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Our Verdict - Fiori di Capri

This is a divisive one. Many find its rich, vintage floral profile 'old-fashioned' or even 'annoying'; however, for those who appreciate classic complexities, it's a 'masterpiece' and 'heaven-like'. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Its vintage, mature floral character and decent silage make it better suited for evening and formal events, though some find it light enough for casual wear. It's generally too intense for an office setting.
