It has a fragrance DNA similar to Alien by Mugler, however Paradoxe Intense contains vanilla which sweetens it to a very nice point and the fragrance notes are more blended than the aforementioned one. It starts with its fruity notes (pear, bergamot) and evolves into a floral scent with vanilla and amber.
However, as time passes (and it ages), in the drydown it leaves an acidity which, for my taste, is quite intense to the point of being annoying. So it starts off wonderfully but ends up like that, probably caused by the oakmoss it contains. Since I prefer sweeter fragrances, I am undecided about whether I would buy it again. Other than that, it lasts for endless hours and I think that if it suits you and you like it, it is a good investment.
