For me this is like a mesh of Mugler Alien, Valentino Born in Roma & my way! And I actually really love it!🌸 Definitely an easy grab when you just want to smell overall yummy! And I think it’s nice for summer nights, fall & winter.

[@rashondadani]

Can’t wait for it to come in the mail.

[@TJ-ss8ru]

This is UNIQUE on it's own because it's like My Way, Alien, and Donna Born in Roma meshed together..A true LOVE for me ❤

[@firstfoyer1]

I love the mini one…. I’ll definitely use it as my main perfume during winter. I love it.

[@dxxoo768]

Thank you for the review on this fragrance because I have been considering this one.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

When I smelled it, I immediately got My way...and I really like it. I will definitely be getting it

[@taylorsmith476]

I absolutely love this perfume!

[@jodawkins9177]

I purchased the mini size & loved it so much that I ordered a full size bottle 🤩❤️

[@CollegeCutie10]

This was my most recent purchase. I tested twice and and it made me happy and take several sniffs so I knew I had to get it

[@TJ-ss8ru]

This is beautiful! If you thought Alien was a little polarizing, give this one a try...I wore this mixed with Prada Amber Pour Hhomme and got compliments galore thank me later...Also this lasts ALL DAY and my husband loves it which is a plus!!

[@honeypotqueens9865]

Omg just received my second from collection I’m in love 🥰

[@uniquetee8341]

This sent makes my eyes roll back😍

[@virginiaomoniyi7594]

Hi karina i tried this the other day as never tried prada fragrances before , i liked it and the bottle design is different and unique

[@bobahun123]

I purchased the small size so that I can try it out, but honestly just reading the notes it reminded me of the limited edition Alien au Sublime which was truly sublime and just sweet, fresh and quite citrusy

[@twauynettacollin2837]

Hello Queen I've been waiting on the truth about it. Thank you, u always come through. Will be purchasing. 🤑❤. Blessings on the candles, will be purchasing some of them too.🕯🕯

[@hanakobeauty]

To me this fragrance smelt so original and unique- very fresh and feminine. Maybe because I’m used to wearing really strong scents, like poison Dior or black orchid by TF.

[@badbella1785]

I love how it's sweet but not citrus this smells so good to me for everyday love it

[@TrineP1984]

My sotd is zarko perfumes pink molecule, layered with bum bum cream.. I always get tons of compliments with this combo🎉

[@Vickytori22]

Someone at work was wearing this and I had to ask them what they were wearing because they smelt so nice! I immediately had to get it! Just waiting for my bottle to arrive!

[@mirandamartin7759]

I got it I love that I smell it on me as the day goes on live it ❤

[@belindahearn721]

Hi, thanks for doing the review on this. I tried it three times and am now working on a sample, it does not smell nice on me so it is a hard no for me. But on another note, I tried the Le Labo Rose 31 and it was really good and I am snatching it up!! Take care everyone.

[@charletfoster8917]

Thanks for this review😊🙏🏿. I’m looking for a scent for work-approachable scent

[@shaylove5439]

Hey Karina 👋🏽1st I can't wait to get my candles girl..I ordered 2 wanted 3 but that shipping to the U.S. killed that notion 😅 ..I absolutely adore this Prada, it wpuld be an easy everyday fragrance, I don't own a whole lot of perfumes so this is a great addition to my little collection, it's a beautiful scent the dry down is even better, I've actually used it with a bit of my Nest vanilla oil and love it!

[@catherinem1542]

You really nailed this review in every detail! I had buyer's remorse at first because it really is nothing new or special. The name Paradox is misleading. Also, I don't love vanilla in a perfume. But after wearing it to work I found it did develop into a comforting feminine scent and it's nice to have some of those every day, easy reach bottles. I think it will be even better as the weather cools down. Still I'm glad I only got a purse size and wouldn't buy a full bottle.

[@faboul467]

The scent reminds me of YSL LIBRE Toilette which is one of my fave scents. Yes it’s not super original or over intense / mature smelling ( like Chanel coco Mademoiselle ) . Everyone loves coco but I don’t like it. I like that it’s kind of youthful but will last longer and perfect for everyday. Someone said it smelled like “grandma perfume” lol and that’s a no for me. I have the Gucci bloom which I hate and that smells like a grandma perfume because it’s so powdery. I like this scent. They went safe but still marketable

[@imanichase4419]

@ karinawaldron I can't wait to sample this one! Sidebar, I would love to see a review of the House of Tiziana Terenzi! You were my very first follow for these reviews and you were spot on EVERYTIME!! Hope you can do one soon! Congrats also on your new business venture!!! Exciting!❤️

[@thelayeredlifestyle]

This is such a pretty fragrance, definitely crowd pleasing.

[@karina_waldron]

Yea it’s pretty and girly but nothing special

[@badbella1785]

Yesss

[@honeypotqueens9865]

I’m going to today to try out one of the house of Oud today at Scent Bar omg 😱 what a pop 🍿 I’ll let you know my first impression 👍🏽❤️

[@youmatteryesyou3113]

I thought the same thing about this fragrance when I smelled it at the store: beautiful, but not groundbreaking.

[@sofia.antunesantunes5020]

Love it😍

[@Cubandkorean]

My friend uses it on a daily. That’s it. Today I decided to buy. I’m in love!!

[@SM-bb9sk]

I just got it Monday.....love it

[@missderry2387]

Heavy on the jasmine but crowd pleasing, a cross of My Way, Alien and Valentino.

[@RosesRosyLife]

Agreed!

[@laurenskubish400]

Indolic jasmine like in alien? And valentino what? Born in roma? Voce viva? I have a vintage bottle of alien from 2012 I just bought for super cheap and it blows the newer formulation out of the water and lasting power is soooo long.

[@maitemannaerts60]

Sounds amazing 😂

[@laurenskubish400]

@@maitemannaerts60 its delicious 😋

[@rashondadani]

Now I can’t wait to get it! That an interesting combo that I think I’ll like

[@jasminelanett1]

I enjoyed watching this. Please can you share an update on the longevity?

[@carolinegjervoldstad823]

I want to try

[@hultsyumiko7043]

I smelled at Ulta and compared with Good Girl, Gucci gorgeous Jasmin, Good fortune. I think the perfume is almost dupe of Gucci gorgeous Jasmin for me.

[@heidith3618]

I haven't smelled it yet and I have difficulties with neroli too. I have so many of these crowdpleasing, easy reach perfumes so I'm not so excited about this one. Thank you for this review, great video as always 😍

[@youmatteryesyou3113]

Scent of the day for me: L'interdit Rouge. :)

[@collirvctth]

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new Burberry HER flanker release! I just love the all pink bottle and wonder how it smells. A rep from Nordstrom said it’s the only Burberry HER you need !

[@karina_waldron]

I plan on picking it up só a video will be coming soon!

[@sabrinanicoley]

Smelt it at duty free, it’s a sweet fresh perfume. Very feminine easy to wear same likes as ZV women can do it all & sprint time in the park by Maison F. But sweeter ❤

[@karina_waldron]

Totally agree. Very easy to wear

[@henriettaanokyewaa9579]

I hp u r doing great @ ur end

[@RosesRosyLife]

I think it’s a simple sweet jasmine fragrance, nice but not very original 🌸

[@nancymarkiewicz8123]

Hi Karina which Prada la femme is better. The regular one or the intense? I am thinking of blind buying one? Thank you

[@aleeshamucharwa9127]

Smelt this in Dubai 2 days ago and l definitely need a bottle 😩❤️

[@elegant_peasant]

This is a new 2022 release...

[@dawna819]

It smells like Donna Born in Roma for me. I do like it and it doesn’t make me nauseous like born in Roma does😊

[@marypride3271]

YES! Something about Donna born in Roma I couldn’t stomach but this is like that but better 😊

[@olethawilliams]

Good video, what's the longevity of this fragrance? Tfs❤

[@clairewillow6475]

I love Neroli im noticing when it’s not a note in the perfume im wearing I miss it 😂

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Hey Karina, let's hear your thoughts on this one

[@alessandrine9999]

I want the bottle and then refill it with some other clean scent tbh lol I like more french parfumers

[@Memee0000]

It’s better then my way it’s more like safnad de Marley ❤

[@katrosea2378]

I just got the 50ml of this and I love it! Torn bw this and Dona Born in Roma. Will probably get the DBR some other time 😅

[@HarrisPilton789]

This is the first Prada fragrance that I like. I detest all of the others.

[@trixb.f3051]

I hate My Way and Valentino born in roma is too fruity for me. This one actually smells close to Valentino Voce Viva on my nose. I prefer this one over the other 3. i might pull the trigger on this one soon.

[@jgreen2829]

It kinda reminds me of killian love don’t be shy and parfums de Marley Oriana

[@karina_waldron]

I can see it being similar to Oriana but love is way sugar sweet to me

[@jgreen2829]

@@karina_waldron it’s almost giving black opium too now that I’ve worn it longer! Yikes! I think I like Oriana a little better of the two.

[@sebouquin2430]

Would love a review on the house of Atelier Materi. ❤

[@karina_waldron]

I actually just got a few samples and will be doing a video on the house

[@sebouquin2430]

@@karina_waldron that’s exciting! I am looking forward to it. Thank you!

[@clairewillow6475]

Maybe the original Donna yes, I don’t find it similar to DBIR though

[@AricaMichelle]

It's OK. Don't wanna buy it but I would wear it occasionally if someone bought it for me.

[@khanhfident]

That’s how I am with 95% of perfumes. 😂 I’ll take donations!

[@opulence_prime]

It’s less than okay. I’ve been watching reviews to see what I’m missing but I’m returning mine. I don’t like it.

[@jennifersherrick7195]

A day time Alien :)

[@daniela5748]

Definitely ❤

[@kckgirl78]

❤❤❤❤

[@symo9924]

Is it good for the office? I'm looking for a good perfume that doesn't project too much.

[@karina_waldron]

Absolutely! This makes a great signature scent as it’s not overwhelming

[@kendallcooper1075]

I feel like my way, gorgeous jasmine, Good Fortune, and paradox are all the same. i love jasmine and white florals but i wish designers would dare to be a little more creative :/

[@va.j]

It smells good but is doesn’t last 😭. I spayed the Givenchy l’interdît rouge about 12h ago and I can still smell it (when I sniff my arm)

[@ursulaliving]

I still smell it on me 14 hours in.

[@KarolinaPL06]

Hmmm underwhelming scent in amazing bottle.

[@BasicIW]

This one wasn't too great for me. Sickly sweet! I am someone who loves sweet and gourmand perfumes. I love Dior's feve delicious, and other classy delicious perfumes that displays some for of elegance/sophistication. This one feels very childish and definitely not light.

[@karina_waldron]

Yes this one is less complex and very simple sweet. Nothing special in my opinion

[@uniquetee8341]

The scammers are working hard on Karina’s channel today. Guys do not give them your personal information. Is there a way you can report this Karina? Xx

[@karina_waldron]

It’s very frustrating! I report it all the time but I feel like it does nothing. Thanks for the warning to everyone

[@cookie_dough_hangover]

Why does it remind me so much of Libre EDP?

[@karina_waldron]

Really! Maybe the freshness in the opening

[@cookie_dough_hangover]

@@karina_waldron Quite possibly. 🤷‍♀️

[@noelnoxx1505]

I SAID THE SAME THING

[@rebecacabral1]

I couldn't find the comment about longevity.

[@karina_waldron]

It’s not amazing but lasts a few hours on me

[@honeypotqueens9865]

Hypnotic poison Dior

[@Adbee123]

This was my first impression of this fragrance too 😊

[@Satya22]

Do you feel pear?

[@clairewillow6475]

On me I notice a floral and citrus scent maybe bergamot and the neroli comes through. The dry down has more of the vanilla/musk/woody but it’s subtle. Not sure I notice pear all that much, maybe a little in the opening

[@Undrgrndklt777]

Sadly, I absolutely hate this one compared to La Femme, which is a masterpiece.

[@koffeebeans6124]

It smells like the original Perry Ellis.

[@sofia.antunesantunes5020]

Nao acho parecido com o my way

[@xSunnyDaysx]

I don’t get how people smell My Way. I smell So Scandal by JPG

[@ursulaliving]

I dont get it either

[@marthamartinez4215]

Great video! Unfortunately this fragrance is a big no for me! Cute bottle; but the juice is nothing special! Be blessed

[@yemedemure414]

I’m not sold on this one. Nothing spectacular. It’s not beast mode. Armani My Way is better. 🎀🎀🎀

[@krystaldouglas1305]

It smell like alien flora flora just a lil...

[@khanhfident]

It’s way too sharp to me.

[@audblg6911]

The magic happens in the drydown. Really! It becomes a real scent very feminine not perfume like.

[@mememeome]

Sounds boring

[@1977ajax]

Bloke here. Most perfumes smell boring to us generally, and nearly everyone seems to wear too much. If you're relying on a bottle of scent to determine the way you smell, you just made a big mistake, and looking at the price of this stuff, you're wasting a good deal of money too. Watch men going through the perfume dept. of a big store - you can tell they don't like the atmosphere!

[@wildflowers100]

I cannot wait to try Paradoxe! 🫶🙏🏼
