Jasmine + Cypress = Love
I almost bought this a few years ago, but I chose something else. I am SO glad I came back to it! I love the way this fragrance develops through the day.
The citrusy beginning is bright and pretty without being too sour. The jasmine is absolutely luscious as it becomes more prominent, and I am loving the jasmine and cypress combo here. I don't detect the pine directly, but I think it may be what gives a richness, without being heavy, to this fragrance. I do detect a slight herbal note, which I guess is the bay, and it really brings something interesting to the fragrance.
To me, this is not your standard citrus-white floral-woody fragrance (not saying those are bad), which makes it appeal to me. This is absolutely perfect for spring and summer, regardless of humidity. We've had a cooler, drier spring than usual, and Paradiso lasted over 8 hours on skin. Now that it's getting warmer and more humid, the longevity is even better, 10-12 hours without excessive projection. For my taste, this leans feminine, but I think a lot of men might be comfortable wearing it. It's very reasonably priced and good for a variety of events: work, casual, formal, a night out, whatever.
