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.
Top notes
At the top, neroli essential oil combines with orange blossom heart absolute, echoing the floral signature of the original Paradoxe under a softer, edible facet, according to the house.
Heart notes
The heart rests on a salted pistachio accord, which Prada describes as a reinvented ingredient with roasted and salty notes, conceived for a gourmand dimension unprecedented in the Paradoxe line.
Base notes
The base rests on a sandalwood accord that the house describes as powerful and creamy, intended to bring sophistication and a sillage judged sensual and modern by Prada.
What the label declares
The label lists alcohol, water and a fragrance blend at the top of the list. Linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol and citral are among the declared components. Coumarin, benzyl salicylate and hydroxycitronellal complete the list. Two colorants, CI 17200 and CI 19140, give the juice its red and yellow tint.
Other perspectives
Wikiparfum places the composition in the floral family and confirms the presence of neroli at the top, without detailing the arrangement of the heart and base.
