The Maker Paradiso is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Paradiso opens with Bergamot, Blood Orange, and Mangosteen, settles into a heart of Myrtle, Frangipani, and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. The Maker's Paradiso carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Paradiso is a zesty, earthy citrus bomb that some will find exhilaratingly fresh, while others will recoil from its pungent, sharp acidity. Definitely one to sample first.

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate performance and fresh, zesty profile make it suitable for casual wear and sports. However, the strong, sometimes 'cleaning product' perception by some users means it's a riskier choice for formal or office settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Paradiso bursts open with an electrifying jolt of blood orange and bergamot, given an unusual tropical tang by mangosteen. This bright, tart opening soon settles into an earthy heart where fragrant myrtle and delicate frangipani are subtly underscored by a whisper of ambrette. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of cedar and the deep, green richness of oakmoss and patchouli, grounding the vibrant top notes with a woody, slightly damp forest floor vibe.
