Paradis Perdu

A lovely and elegant modern chypre. Paradis Perdu (Lost Paradise) starts off with a citrusy blast of Bergamot, Grapefruit, Citrus, and Mandarin. The middle reveals notes of green leafy notes, galbanum, elemi, tropical fruit accords. Finally it settles into a mossy powdery base comprised of cedar, vetiver, rosewood, labdanum, oakmoss and musk leaving behind a gentle trail of tropical fruits. It is like talking a walk in a fruit laden orchard on a nice sunny yet cool day. The scent is well blended with moderate projection, sillage and longevity. Easily unisex and retains an understated refinement. Enjoy!

Frapin - for me, first of all, this is high-quality cognac, before exploring the flavors of this house. Now I understand that the quality here in everything and in the perfume as well! Lost paradise is a beautiful name. They say how you call a ship ... I want to disagree, now many names do not match the content, but not this time or with this scent. This paradise is just a thickets, jungle with tart greens. Here you will not find heavenly flowers in our understanding and representation of Paradise. This is a Jurassic park with its lush vegetation. For me, the fragrance is beautiful. Rough grass, a little bitterness, galbanum and moss, rich sound. I feel this fragrance on myself and get unearthly and truly heavenly pleasure. It is gorgeous at any time of the year (if you like herbs, bitterness), especially of course, in spring and summer. Firmness and trail, it seems to me, moderates, will not suffocate anyone with their obsession, and this can be a plus for people who like to smell sweet in the morning with one scent, and in the evening with another. Chic. Love

Green and Woody .. I smell hay and vetiver and a bit Galbanum and grapefruit scent it this fragrance the most ..it is green sence...Not overly sweet like the others farpins...it Opens with a juicy grapefriut note along with some citruses and becomes green and hay and vetiver .The drydown is beautiful woody musky and green. Very real, juicy, sweet , grapefruit! And only grapefruit.Beautiful unisex grapefruit scent.. , very peaceful. Excellent sillage and good longevity.it lasted fair ten hours on my skin, though with a soft sillage , it's much different than a classic Frapin fragrance... This hemispheric opening leaves its place to a green heart of different herbs and grasses... especially with that smoky feel I get through the leaves and grass and galbanum and vetiver The opening is great: one of the most realistic, crunchy, wet leafy/green openings I've ever tried, with fresh citrus notes,I suggest it for spring/summer.

So much going on... so many ingredients my nose is all over the place, but on the end of the day this is sweet-aromatic, green fragrance. To simplify even more, this smells, not exactly but very close, like a .... tomato leaf and grass. Reminds me of Corsica Furiosa by Parfum d`Empire.

Tomatoes? Rotting grapefruit? Paradis Perdu reminds me of something else, not sure what. I believe it smells like one of the Atelier Colognes, possibly Pomelo Paradis? No, wait: Pomelo Paradis was like citrus candy, but this isn’t. But definitely reminds me of Atelier. Either way, not for me. Nothing special. I like Pomelo Paradis, but Paradis Perdu, not so much.
