Which Should You Buy?
Paradigme is a contemporary statement of quiet confidence, blending fresh citrus and aromatic geranium with a plush amber-woody base. It's refined, versatile, and subtly distinctive-never loud, but always present.
Prada Paradigme is the quieter, more architectural fougere in the Luna Rossa stable - bergamot and bourbon geranium sitting over a resinous benzoin-Peru-balsam-guaiac base. No. 334 keeps the bergamot-geranium-benzoin trio recognisable; what gets lost is the original's airy musk dimension.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The fresh spicy-citrus opening is ideal for spring and early summer, while the amber, benzoin, and woody base lend enough warmth and depth for fall. Its richness is less suited to the coldest winter days or extreme heat.
Occasions
Paradigme balances freshness and warm ambery woods, making it versatile for daytime, dates, and smart-casual settings without being overpowering. Its moderate projection and complexity keep it tasteful for the office but too sophisticated for sport.
Seasons
The bergamot-geranium opening lifts in warmer weather and the resin base anchors cooler ones; this is a true three-season fougere with autumn the sweet spot.
Occasions
The professional masculine archetype - office and formal-day the natural homes; restrained enough for a daytime meeting, structured enough for an evening dinner.
