This smelled great in Macy's, so I bought a decant, but I can see why many people aren't excited about Paradigme. It goes on with light woody, vanilla, and a slight aromatic note joins in. Sillage is mild from the start, very mild after 2 hours, and lasts about 4-5 hours. It's an uninspiring skin scent after that I'll overspray the decant atomizer for future wears, but at this point, I'm going to agree with the critics. Even when this hits $60 at discounters, I have no plans to add it to the arsenal.

So yesterday I received this what I now consider being a Masterpiece of A Fragrance in the mail , I was excited about this one since i heard of it’s upcoming release, so of course it was my SOTD , in my humble opinion in comparison to the 2015 EDP , it to my nose definitely shares the same DNA but much warmer, richer and more suitable for the older mature gentleman such as myself, with a moderate projection of about one to two feet , and off my skin the longevity is about 8-10 hours, great performance, 9 out of 10 in my book , I’ll definitely be picking up a backup bottle maybe even two , if you like the original I’m sure you’ll love the 2025 Parfum just as much as I do
