Autumn Walk through the Forest
Actually quite a sweet one...unfortunately, I haven't been able to test the big original yet, but maybe it's good to evaluate this sweet-spicy one independently. It has something liqueur-like, plum with cinnamon, crisp apple, and that peppery note with a bit of patchouli makes it more interesting for me after a few minutes. The top notes were a bit too fruity for me, synthetically sweet. But we have practiced waiting by now. How often have we prematurely parted ways with fragrances and after an hour desperately thought, yes, which one was it that smelled so great? Well, for me, this scent is a beautiful sunny autumn day. The suede and pepper note remains the most present over all the plum jam with cinnamon. Overall, it's quite a creamy spicy candidate, suitable for leisure and going out. Well done, there's really nothing annoying about it...hm... definitely a candidate for purchase this autumn...what a coincidence, my birthday is in October. :-)

A fragrance like a golden path through a late summer twilight
Barely sprayed, a delicate opening unfolds with green apple and juicy plum - round, soft, with an almost liqueur-like depth. It is a sweetness that does not cling but shines: warm and inviting, like a memory of late summer fruits, slowly caramelized in the light of the late afternoon. The bergamot is there, yes - but more like a gentle flutter in the background, keeping the fruitiness fresh without ever becoming zesty.

In the heart, Paradigm reveals an aromatic warmth: clary sage brings structure, while the pepper adds a gentle crackle - like the subtle spice of a velvety herbal tea. Everything remains softly defined, almost velvety. No drama, but a quiet elegance that feels like a soft cloth on the skin.

In the base then lies the true magic: vanilla, creamy and very fine, weaves through everything with a touch of coziness. Musk brings an almost skin-close softness, while patchouli resonates with the ground - subtle, never earthy, more like a shadow at the edge of the light. Leather? If anything, then as a fleeting idea that quickly fades back into the velvety mist.

Those who know Paragon by Initio will feel at home here - yet Paradigm tells the same story in a gentler way. Less transcendent, more tangible. Less ritual, more interpersonal magic. A fragrance made for golden afternoons, for quiet smiles, for a moment that lingers long after.

Dupe houses out here making half of Initio's offering entirely redundant. This is a carbon copy of Paragon. Absolutely incredible.

I've always found Paragon fascinating, but borderline to wear, a bit too feminine.
Paradigm makes the Paragon DNA wearable for me too!

Affordable yet still a very, very good clone of its model Paragon. Worth a blind buy.

A great scent for the evening. A very good alternative to Paragon with similar sillage and longevity.

The "more intense" Paragon with stronger sillage. Price-performance ratio is absolutely unbeatable!

Wow. I don't know Paragon, but this scent perfectly captures the apple-plum note and MAINTAINS those notes. Warm, flattering, fruity.

Incredibly beautiful creamy sweet plum on musk and vanilla
no off-note! The quality is truly insane
The Initio will be obsolete!
