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 - Emily in Paris

This perfume is a fresh, clean floral that will take you straight back to the 90s. It's universally likeable but perhaps a bit too nostalgic for some, feeling like a familiar flashback rather than something new.
