What if there's another way? Paradigme, the new signature masculine fragrance by Prada. A fragrance that transcends traditional preconceptions by asking - what if there's another way? A question as an invitation to experiment and open new perspectives. Confidence is redefined as curiosity, strength as finesse, and success as the freedom to create your paradigm. Another way to name a fragrance Paradigme : noun. A new perspective. A new way of thinking, doing, being. An augmented anagram of Prada creating a direct connection with our feminine icon: Paradoxe. Another way to compose a fragrance Paradigme Eau de Parfum rethinks the traditional way to create a fragrance Our master perfumers Marie Salamagne, Bruno Jovanovic, and Nicolas Bonneville decided to open a new olfactive paradigm by inverting the traditional fragrance composition architecture, tracing from the bottom up in a reversed pyramid; a symbolic echo of the iconic Prada triangle itself. The result is an avant-garde yet highly sophisticated Ambery Woody signature oscillating between enveloping warmth and exhilarating freshness. Opening on the warm sensuality of ambery woods composed of Peru Balm and Benzoin resin and vigorous Guaiac wood. At the heart, an iconic green Bourbon Geranium this time reinvented with floral rosy facets unfolding on a fusing Calabrian Bergamot Heart and airy musks uplifting the entire composition. «?The obsession for this composition was audacity, the audacity to challenge classicism propose a new model, more sensual and magnetic?» Marie Salamagne, Master Perfumer Another way to design a bottle The Paradigme bottle immediately invites curiosity. An architectural silhouette of radical elegance softened by rounded edges and an avant-garde statement through the tactile tilted Prada triangle, the house's iconic signature. A bottle lacquered in an intense and alluring black to green gradation, the house's iconic color. The outerbox is etched to echo the brand's signature Saffiano leather cross-hatching, signed with a silver Prada logo. “When conceiving the Paradigme bottle, we drew upon the Prada fragrance archives, then looked for ways to reimagine the design through a contemporary lens. The green color feels unexpected; the beveled edge of the inverted triangle emerges as a tactile and surprising detail. In this way, it is characteristically Prada, being both undeniably sophisticated, but with a touch of eccentricity.” Coralie Salem, Creative Director, Prada Beauty NOTES Top note: Calabrian Bergamot Heart note: Bourbon Geranium Base note: Ambery Woods

Troubleshooting
The scent seems to fade quickly.
Ensure you are applying to pulse points and clean, moisturized skin. Dry skin tends to absorb fragrance faster. Consider reapplying lightly after 4-6 hours if desired.
The fragrance doesn't smell the same on me as it did on a test strip or a friend.
Fragrances interact uniquely with individual body chemistry, which can slightly alter how a scent develops. Allow the fragrance to dry down completely (15-30 minutes) to experience its full character on your skin.
The sprayer is not working or is clogged.
Gently wipe the nozzle with a clean, damp cloth. If it's a new bottle, you may need to 'prime' the pump by pressing it a few times until a mist appears.
The bottle is leaking slightly around the cap.
Ensure the cap is firmly secured after each use. Store the bottle upright to minimize pressure on the seal and prevent any potential leakage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application:
For best results, apply to clean, moisturized skin, as hydration helps prolong scent retention.
Spray 2-3 times on pulse points such as your wrists, behind the ears, neck, or chest. These areas generate heat, which helps diffuse the fragrance throughout the day.
Avoid rubbing the fragrance into your skin after application, as this can break down the scent molecules and alter the fragrance's development.
Compatibility:
Fragrances interact uniquely with individual body chemistry, which can subtly influence how the scent develops and smells on your skin compared to others or even a test strip. Allow the fragrance to settle for 10-15 minutes to fully appreciate its true character on you.
This Eau De Parfum is designed as a standalone signature scent, but can be complemented by unscented or lightly scented grooming products to avoid clashing.
Care and Storage:
Store your Prada Paradigme Eau De Parfum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Heat and light can degrade the fragrance over time.
Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent evaporation and maintain the fragrance's integrity.
Keep the bottle upright to prevent leaks and preserve the sprayer mechanism.
