Details on INITIO Parfums Privés Paragon

Paragon by Initio is like a special journey. It uses Palo Santo and White Sage. These plants were used by old shamans to clean and protect. The scent starts with calm Bergamot and Lavender. Black Pepper gives it a little kick. It's a mix of woody, fruity, and aromatic smells. Paragon wants to make you feel peaceful and balanced. It's like a shield for your good feelings.

How does INITIO Parfums Privés Paragon smell?

Paragon opens with fresh Bergamot, herbal White Sage, and soft Lavender. Soon, you'll smell sacred Palo Santo and a touch of Black Pepper. Many also smell juicy plum, making it fruity. It dries down to creamy Sandalwood and rich Agarwood (Oud). It's a smooth, warm, and slightly sweet woody scent.

Dreamy fragrance

Paragon is a fruity, fresh, balanced, and polished fragrance. For me, it is the best fragrance from Initio. It smells like juicy plum, bright sage, zesty bergamot, and creamy woods. Simply magnificent!

Spiced plum

Spiced plum jam, lavender, precious wood. I perceive oud minimally. Unspectacular and pleasing. You're not for me.

Soothing, meditative. I want to inhale it constantly!

A breathtaking, unique fragrance, unlike anything I have ever smelled before. It is pleasantly complex and has a subtle sillage. After purchasing, it should be allowed to mature in a dark place for at least one night. Initially, it may seem a bit harsh and masculine, but that fades quickly. First, I perceive plum, oud, and pepper, then mint unfolds, which is most likely due to the combination of lavender and sage. This is followed by palo santo and sandalwood, and after about 30 minutes, everything melds into an incredible composition that you want to inhale over and over again. It is a truly unisex fragrance; I would be thrilled to smell it on a man, but it is also so seductive, mysterious, and enchanting on a woman.
