‘Sensual and sophisticated’ designer perfume slashed by 25%

Valentine’s Day isn’t until February 14, and with nearly two weeks to go, it’s a great time to start looking for a gift for your special someone. Perfume is one of the most popular gift options for this time of year, and luckily, LookFantastic has reduced some of its most popular offerings, including a “timeless” Prada perfume that is 25% off.

Prada Paradoxe is one of the most searched-for perfumes in the lead-up to Valentine’s Day, and while a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum will normally set you back £72, it has now been reduced to £54 as part of LookFantastic’s seasonal sale.

According to the brand, Paradoxe is a floral-amber fragrance with sweet, fruity notes. It opens with sweet pear, tangerine and bergamot, with a heart of crisp neroli and jasmine, over a creamy base of vanilla, amber, white musk and benzoin. It’s a romantic, feminine scent that would be perfect for a date night, and fans seem to agree.

One said: “Smells feminine and beautiful and romantic…Perfect for everyday or a special occasion.” Another wrote: “Love love love Prada perfume! Smells super amazing and I tend to only spray or use it on special occasions (especially a date night).”

The fragrance is great for fans of lighter scents, and with spring just around the corner, it’s a great option for warmer weather. A convert to the scent said: “I’m normally a fan of deep scents but wanted something light for spring and received a sample of this I loved it that much I purchased the large bottle.”

It comes in a pink triangular bottle decorated with Prada’s iconic triangle logo, which shoppers are loving. One wrote: “Smart bottle design that stands out on the shelf, and the size and shape make it easy to hold in your hand when applying.”

Paradoxe fans are praising it online, with one saying, “This is a sensual, sophisticated smell that when I wear it, I feel confident and feminine. Every time I’ve worn it, I’ve had compliments, which is always lovely. This is a real date night go-to perfume or for smart special occasions, or when you need a lift or boost. Really love this perfume.”

Several shoppers said the perfume drew many compliments. One wrote: “It is very different from anything else out there! This is a timeless fragrance for all ages. I have had so many people stop me and ask me what I am wearing.”

Others commented on its longevity, with one saying: “Such a beautiful scent and it lasts so well. Compliments every time I wear it.”

A second review said: “I love this fragrance, always makes me feel a bit brighter and cheers me up throughout the day with the long-lasting scent.”

However, some found the scent too strong. One shopper wrote: “I know it’s just personal preference, but I found this far too sickly sweet and overpowering.” Another agreed, saying they found it “too heavy and powerful”.
