Initio Parfums Privés Paragon is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Paragon opens with Bergamot, Lavender, and Sage, settles into a heart of Palo Santo, Pepper, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Initio Parfums Privés's Paragon carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.
