Our verdict on Paragon: Acquired

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some call it an intoxicating masterpiece of creamy woods and juicy plum, while others get synthetic fruit, old lady vibes, or even stale pencil shavings. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost medicinal blend of fresh lavender, sharp sage, and zesty bergamot. This quickly shifts to a sweet, dark plum note, underscored by smoky palo santo and a hint of black pepper. The dry down is a warm, velvety embrace of creamy sandalwood, creating a meditative and grounding finish that lingers beautifully.
