Jasmin, virtual & virtuoso, 21, single, childless, near you, wants to get to know you!
"Paradoxe Virtual Flower" by Prada is a jasmine fragrance through and through - which actually scares me and doesn't suit me. But somehow something admirable happened here and something clicked between us...

I don't know the other two "paradoxes" or only know them minimally. This is the first detailed test in the series. And I am amazed at how powdery, wearable and subtle Prada's interpretation and combination of jasmine is here. It really smells good - across all weight classes! Jasmine is so clear, sparkling and beautifully flanked by neroli, musk and bergamot that I can smell almost no diva-like aura of the flower that I usually avoid. It remains a jasmine perfume - but very modern, summery and positive. Not at all heavy or sweaty, not fleshy or expansive, not annoying or tough. Quite the opposite. It's fun, it's classy, it's energetic, it's young. Without being too synthetic, which I had already prematurely assumed from the name. I really like it. Without completely tearing out trees. But it does its job.

Flacon: lying rather than flying
Sillage: delicate & consistent
Longevity: 7 hours and more!

Conclusion: one of the few designer "jasmines" that I like - (not too) sultry and (quite) beautiful!

Paradox???
I like perfumes, I like flowers. Paradox is what I was looking for, it lasts and lasts, two sprays and it lasts five, six hours. Then it came intense, I was expecting the first one, but stronger, more lasting, sharper, none of that, disappointment.
and then came this one. I can only say that those who love the the Muse, this one will be their favorite. clear, airy, floral, seductive, summery, gives well-being, cleanliness.
Doesn't have to be part of the Prada collection, first version is enough.

The lady of the house...
... has got ready to leave. But first she has to put the white cotton laundry on the line. She hangs the blouses, shirts and summer dress on the washing line. Everything exudes a fresh scent. She unties her apron, puts on her high heels and takes her handbag with the keys to her apartment and front door and walks to her car.

The signore applying this fragrance first gets a fresh citrusy modern scent in her nose, which is quickly replaced by feminine floral accords. The perfume becomes clean, powdery and the whole is underpinned by a lightness and cheerfulness. It maintains this attitude until the end.

The longevity and silage are average.

Here we have a women's fragrance that can also be worn by young ladies. Guys here you have to try it out for yourself whether you can or want to wear it, it is not so feminine that this would not be possible. It can certainly be worn really well on warm days, but will also cut a "bella figura" on cold days. During the day in a costume, in jeans with a blouse or simply casually as well as in the evening in a summer dress, evening wear or even just with ... this fragrance looks good.

If you like a fresh floral sweet citric clean powdery scent, this is the right fragrance for you, with a certain elegance.

You and Paradox !!!!!?????
.... my girlfriend said...yes the original paradox, we'll never be friends just like any NR Flanker, Voce Viva, Burberry etc onwards. How did it come about that I had to have at least one generous bottling in my collection of the latest version....some online perfumer just threw in a manufacturer's sample....so for me #The Muse is just adorned with flowers. I know that The Muse has a large fan base, but for many it is also just "fresh laundry". Personally, I think that if The Muse is too strict, too monotonous, too unisex, too cold, if you miss a bit of the floral, you should give Paradoxe Virtual Flower a try. For me, it has a touch of Especially Escada and perhaps also Prodigieux Néroli - Le Parfum layered with The Muse. So rose fans are out here. Neroli, orange blossom and bergamot are the stars of this fragrance...phew, just one spray is really something! Underestimated. I would use the fragrance sparingly, otherwise it can have a somewhat "pungent" effect on others. Clean floral fragrance!

Floral unfitness to drive
I bought the fragrance blind after seeing it several times on Instagram. The fragrance smells modern, floral and synthetic, just the way many people love it.

Now comes the BUT: You know that typical scent that moms wear to events and use before long car rides? That scent that is okay/good at first but makes you feel nauseous after ten minutes in a closed car? Here's one of those fragrances.

It works perfectly outside, exactly where there is fresh air, movement and distance. But indoors, it's too much.

I wouldn't say I regret buying it because, as mentioned, you can wear the fragrance outside. But the hype is incomprehensible to me! I wouldn't recommend it or buy it again.

This is definitely what a flower would smell like virtually.... Nothing. Very linear, boring, and weak. Also smells identical to Amazing Grace

like something between Prada Candy Kiss and Byredo Blanche. Unexpected for this line but typical for prada. Really smells kinda virtual tbh

Non-offensive clean smelling floral and musk scent. Pretty, but overpriced for what you get. It's okay.

My mom used to keep jasmines in the bathroom and it smells similar to that; heavy on the soap with a nice complimentary jasmine. Simple.

A fainter but beautiful jasmine scent, and what a friend described - Ariel laundry detergent kinda vibe... And it is so.
