Paradoxe Radical Essence by Prada is a feminine fragrance launched in 2025, a new signature for the Paradoxe line and its most concentrated version. Neroli and orange blossom absolute open onto a salted pistachio accord, before a creamy sandalwood accord base. Nadège Le Garlantezec, Shyamala and Antoine Maisondieu sign this gourmand and woody floral, presented in the house's refillable triangle bottle.
Prada triangle laid on its side, dark pink lacquer, black cap; 10 to 90 ml, 100 ml refill.
The bottle takes up the minimal shape of Prada's iconic triangle, laid on its side according to the house, breaking with the traditional architecture of perfume bottles. A dark pink lacquer covers the glass, against which the Prada crest stands out, while the cap takes on a deep black that contrasts with the coral tint of the juice.
The angles of the bottle, described by the house as radical and slanted, are softened by rounded edges, a formal tension that Prada presents as an expression of its work on the paradox. The outer box takes up the embossed pattern of Saffiano leather and pairs the pink of the bottle with Prada's black logo.
The fragrance is offered in 10 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml and 90 ml, with a 100 ml refill, in a fully refillable range. The house states that a 100 ml refill rather than two 50 ml bottles saves 44% glass, 100% metal, 67% plastic and 61% cardboard.
The glass bottles are designed to limit the weight of material used, and all paper packaging carries FSC Mix certification, according to Prada.
