Prada Paradoxe Intense Review | New Release for 2023 | Comparison to Original

Prada came out with the original Paradoxe last year for fall 2022. This year, Fall 2023, they introduced their new intense version. I picked it up and I have played in it for a few months. Check out my thoughts. Enjoy!

I’m a male 21 years old and I got this for myself cause it’s so good went into Ulta one time looking for it since I loved the shape I just wanted the shape for my desk but then I sampled it and I was amazed and a cherry on top the model of choice to be the face of this scent is my celebrity crush ms Watson

[@Andfe1301]

Me too, I used to have the original prada paradoxe when I was 22 yo and it’s one of the best fragrances I have😊 ever

[@chyna2038]

❤❤❤❤ Great review!! The intense is definitely the bizness!!!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thank you!

[@theresa3]

Great review💞

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thank you

[@CookieCoCo_OG]

As Usual, great review ❤❤❤. Love the shirt you are wearing.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thank you! It's a sweatshirt from Forever 21.

[@carlasmall5215]

Hi Santa! This seems to be a fall easy reach fragrance. Love the background.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Hi Carla! It is an easy reach.

[@olethawilliams]

Great review ❤, will check out the original & intense soon. Tfs❤

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thank you for watching

[@LadySax45]

Hello beautiful love the lippie that you are wearing. I hate it’s discontinued. Yes I totally agree with you about the original one I didn’t pick her up! But I do want to get this one! Thank you for a very informative review. Be blessed and a blessing ❤

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for watching

[@catreshamathis8210]

Great review. I have a sample of the original Prada Paradox but didn't feel the need to buy the bottle. Now after seeing your review on the Intense version I think this is worth a try and I will try a travel size bottle to test it out. Thanks for the review.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

The intense is the better of the two for sure!

[@kaylaholly2743]

Love the lip. Did I miss the lip liner color? You look Amazing as always!!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks. As stated in the video, everything makeup related is in the description box.

I just got this yesterday for my birthday 😍 I'm in love

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Nice! Happy birthday!

@@TheSantaMaria1 thank you!

[@tracerene]

Happy New Year hun 🎉. Love the makeup as always. I agree 1000% I didn’t like the original at all. I smelled the intense in Macy’s and it was good but devotion got my coins that day 😂 I will circle back and try it again. Thanks for the great review!!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Happy New Year! hahaha glad you smelled it on your store run.

[@world_meets_boy]

Prada Paradoxe Intense baaaebeeee! that moss note, that lite smoky, ambery, musky dry down is so seductive. serves campfire in a moss covered forest vibes and I'm here for it. ladies, the men's will love love love Prada Paradoxe Intense on you. Prada Paradoxe is pretty girl, Intense is grown and sexy. perfect for Fall/Winter for sure.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing. The moss is everything!

[@frankiefavero1666]

I finally caved and it arrives next week! I've never sniffed it, but out of all of the fragrance reviewers out there, your taste is the closest to mine and I've liked every perfume you've recommended... fingers crossed I like it!

[@frankiefavero1666]

Arrived and I love it! Highly complimented as well :)

[@world_meets_boy]

just ordered Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower yesterday. can't wait for your review on that one 😁 as a guy, i rock both the original and the Intense version. love em both. suuuper excited for Virtual Flower 🌺

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@world_meets_boy]

​@TheSantaMaria1 just got Virtual Flower tooodaaaay... and it's a yes yes yes for me 🥳 absolute love at first sniff. gives Dior J'adore Parfum D'eau vibes. realistic floral that's lite, airy, fresh and clean (almost soapy conditioner vibes) with a faint bubble gum like sweetness. stripped down in comparison to the original and Intense versions. simple, but i love it. can't wait to hear your thoughts.

[@kaylaholly2743]

Great detail on this item!!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for watching

[@TressesOfAlexis]

Yes, this certainly gets compliments and lasts really well on my skin and clothes. Fantastic review! Thanks for sharing 💙

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Yes! It hugs fabrics and skin indeed! Thanks for watching as always

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Ok after that review will definitely check out the intense version

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Yes give it a sniff

[@christellebyll7360]

Yes the intense was love at first sniff for me . I really enjoyed it my bottle

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Yes same!

[@thswsup]

I sooooo appreciate this review! I also felt like the original was blahhh and refused to be pulled into the hype! I’ll definitely give the paradoxe intense version a sniff, your rating of it has me intrigued!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

You are so welcome. Yes the intense is worth checking out on your next shopping trip.

[@mattiea7801]

Great review! I stopped a gentleman today and complemented him on his scent, I had to tell him. He said "oh, its Prada Intense", and I live in FL, its hot💥 definitely gonna try

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing

[@funeka691]

I got a generous 7ml sample of this one with one of my recent purchases. Both the bottle and the box it came in are super cute because they're mintures of the full size. I haven't gotten around to wearing it though because your elf went HHAAAMMM with new fragrance buys in November😅

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Glad you got a nice sized sample! hahaha November was a serious fragrance shopping month indeed!

[@Angela32117]

I like the intense!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Yes!

[@user-yu3wi1li2w]

I’m watching this video because a lady came to my job with this on and I asked her what it was I most definitely going to get it

[@pennymcpherson8372]

I am surprised so much hate for paradoxe, I didn’t have anything like this except so scandal which can be too much, so I loved it! Will be checking out intense soon. And will likely own both!😅

[@TheSantaMaria1]

IIt is understandable to like original Paradoxe if you have not smelled other scents like it . However, as a collector/reviewer, original Paradoxe smells like too many other designer scents that were already on the market, so that is my issue with it. Yes, check out the original and the intense and see which one you like more. Thanks for watching.

[@tiffanyr5324]

Intense for the win 🫶 great review!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for watching.

[@veronicajones3083]

Hey beautiful..I smelled the intense and loved it.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Hi there. yay! glad you loved the intense too.

[@AkimaCopper]

For sure the Intense... Love it. I agree that the original smells like My Way which was too bubble gum smelling for me. I didn't purchase the original. I own the Paradoxe Intense and I mostly wear it to the office. Smells wonderful. 😊

[@TheSantaMaria1]

See we felt the same way! Glad the intense is working for you too:

[@littlered786]

No. They do not smell similar at all. Paradoxe edp smells fresh loke laundry in the opening. The. It turns into a fresh soapy vanilla sweet. The my way smells salty tuberosey and with bubble gum in the back. Give it a try again you will fall in love. Given I always always wear paradoxe edp with one spray of intense. It lasts forever and preojects like crazy.

[@kamm5280]

Hi Santa, do you review fragrances full time? I recall you mentioning working in education

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Hi there. I keep my professional life private. Thanks.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

I have the original and I am on the fence about the intense, so let's hear your thoughts

[@TheSantaMaria1]

hahhaha let's get into it!

[@vjacobsen94]

Omg your beautiful 🎉

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@jadejade9966]

yesssss INTENSE indeed omg. i sprayed just a half pump on my wrist , and my husband told me he smelled something so sooooo sweet... !!!! 😂

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Yay!

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Yes we wear fragrances for compliments...sometimes 😂🙋🏾‍♀️

[@TheSantaMaria1]
