The creamy, fruity role model

I would like to say in advance that this is (by far) the best creamy fragrance I have had the pleasure of smelling and owning. I will explain below why I still only gave it 9/10 stars.

This fragrance is really close to perfection when it comes to creamy fragrances and it is definitely my favorite from Initio. However, it does have one major flaw for me, which has caused me to sell it on.

The plum, the sage in combination with the lavender and the sandalwood create such a feeling of security in the whole body, right after the first smell, it really is a true relaxation fragrance. A fragrance that radiates safety and security and really always works. I also love smelling it on other people myself. When a friend wears this very Paragon, they immediately seem more approachable.

The name, Paragon, is also cleverly chosen and invites you to fantasize. Paragon in Latin is the "model". And that's probably exactly how a role model would smell to me. Very gentle but nevertheless determined. Fruity and lively but not overpowering. It exudes a certain calm and maturity that no one would confuse with the arrogance of old age. It is a feel-good fragrance. A fragrance that must suit the person and a fragrance that can shape and complete a person, at least in part.
The sage exudes this certain coldness that projects a determination and elegance in my head, while the combination of plum and sandalwood evokes this special kind of security. However, you should also be a good role model when wearing this fragrance and not overdo it.

And that's exactly my problem. I overdid it. I wanted to smell this fragrance day and night and recreate that feeling of security and safety. And in doing so, I ruined the scent for myself. I can no longer smell it. At least not for several hours at a time and especially not on me. But I still love smelling it on other people.

Nevertheless, there is of course a clear recommendation for it.

Also a good gift for your partner, if I may say so myself.

The fragrance goes absolutely everywhere, don't be put off by the plum/sandalwood combination, it is also absolutely wearable in summer and shows a different side there.

Don't you think it's counterproductive if you don't judge a fragrance by its quality etc., but instead award points for having smelled it yourself. That shouldn't be included in the overall rating, sry. The 10 points would be fair, based on what you wrote.

I find that strange too. I don't know the fragrance, but if it's your favorite scent, it should get a 10. The question is, is it because of Paragon that it is too much at some point or because of the person?
