Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive topic, with many feeling it's a departure from the original rather than an 'Intense' version. Some find it sophisticated and rich, others find it generic or even off-putting. Don't blind buy expecting the original, but do try it for a modern take on Fruity-Floral Amber.
Inspired by Prada Paradoxe, No. 999 leans on the same pear-neroli-orange blossom-amber shape but the transitions feel more abrupt, missing the seamless, contradictory floral-amber blending that makes the original feel so distinctive.
