Description
The new pillar fragrance from Roberto Cavalli and Coty is Paradiso, out on the market in February 2015. The new fragrance is a refined, carnal, sensual and very feminine, but also relaxed and carefree holiday scent. It is designed to highlight the natural charm of women and to help women feel attractive.
“Paradiso is about a moment of happiness. I wanted to give a feeling of that instant when you feel totally at ease,” said Cavalli to wwd.
Paradiso is announced as a floral – woody fragrance of the Mediterranean and as a heavenly bouquet that opens with citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin, blending with the floral heart of jasmine. The composition ends with warm woody accords of cypress, parasol pine and pink laurel. The fragrance was created by Louise Turner.
The bottle design, signed by Eva Maria Duringer, is inspired by the many facettes of diamond, as well as different aspects of a woman’s personality. Model Edita Vilkeviciute is chosen to be the face of the perfume, representing modern Eve in the Garden of Eden. The campaign is shot by Mario Sorrenti.
The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

I’m doing a side-by-side comparison of Paradiso on my left hand and Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Paris on my right hand. Two sprays each.
Honestly they are about 90% the same in the opening.
Paradiso has a touch more citrus. Paris has an extra dose of jasmine of the slightly shrill kind. It could literally be a Paradiso flanker: “Paradiso Jasmin.”
If you wait a few minutes, the jasmine in Paradiso begins to emerge and they smell even more similar. Like 95%. Now I can say Paradiso could be a flanker of Bombshell Paris: “Bombshell Paris Citrus Nights.”
If you have one, you really don’t need the other. Just pre-determine if you want a jasmine-cypress-woody blend with citrus notes or without, though there’s a slight mandarinny feeling in Bombshell Paris too and I don’t get any oakmoss at all.
They are both linear after the 1st 5 minutes so this is a short review.
I hope you guys don’t mind I’m posting this review in both pages.
Geminiys – :
Really nice perfume, take so much compliments about it. Green and aromatic
ipan – :
‘This is my all time favorite fragrance, it’s very fruity & has a summer vibes to it. This fragrance can be a signature scent. Not a lot of people know about it, at least in my country. When I do wear it; I get crazy amount of compliments & questions to what am I wearing. I must say though, the Azzuro has a more over powering scent to me than the Paradiso.
kaka22 – :
this on me turns very harsh plasticy. i dont find anything creamy here. sone little bit of fruitiness mixed with skight sourness. it is a very glittering scent.i dont like it that much though, prefer something creamy.
kuguar76 – :
I like the notes but IDK which one I don’t like…reminds me of Lady Million Paco Rabanne Eau de Toilete which I were in love with…

Roberto Cavalli is one mainstream designer house that I like to revisit every now and then. I own three fragrances from this brand already, and would never say no to adding more Roberto Cavalli scents to my growing collection.
Paradiso has been on the market since 2015, with many flankers following suit. This fragrance strikes me as a fruity floral rather than a floral woody musk. It has a very clean, citrusy shampoo vibe on my skin.
The citruses are quite sweet as opposed to sour in this composition. The heart of jasmine also adds some extra sweetness and femininity to an already clean, easy to wear scent. Paradiso is quite an apt name for this fragrance as it does bring to mind a tropical, warm and exotic destination through its crisp, fruity scent.
This fragrance smells similar to a pina colada towards the base, despite not having coconut as a note in its scent pyramid. It may be the combination of pine, cypress, and laurel playing tricks on my nose.
Paradiso lasts extremely well on my skin, with moderate to strong projection, depending on the number of sprays. I do enjoy wearing Paradiso, but at the same time, I wouldn’t consider it one of Roberto Cavalli’s best.
sermos – :
this opened up with modern woody non sweet citrus, and i thought what a nice summery everyday scent from that pretty bottle. unfortunately, it goes to right up jasmine solo song on my skin, which is too much for me. i am not a fan of jasmine, so i should have known. it turns a bit masculine as well and reminds me something from 90ies.
not for me unfortunetely.
the longevity is exceptionally good, i scrubed and scrubed and scrubed and it never went away.
try to all jasmine fans.
the bottle is so so gorgeous. lucky those who can enjoy the scent.
vicior – :
Quite simple everyday summer perfume, with remarkable lasting power for a citrus fragrance. Very good for the value!
den666 – :
I am new to Cavalli scents and I blind bought this perfume based on recommendations written right here on Fragrantica.
I love it from the citrusy opening to the slightly dirty jasmine (which lasts and lasts) until the woody base notes.
I also tried layering it with Dior Granville based on the base notes (mostly the pine). Really lovely effect, I can still smell a quite robus, slightly flowery, but mostly woody base some 16 hours later.
edik_kostyuk – :
Hoped that this might be some sort of mythical unicorn-like niche-mimicking citrus at a budget price … I’ve liked even some pretty blowsy Cavalli stuff in the past (Nero Assoluto did really well for its price point on me) so expectations were high.
A slightly masc-leaning citrus with green aromatics sounded GREAT … if only Paradiso had played that role. But unfortunately this mutates on my skin into some sort of weird synthetic-melon note with unmistakeable kinship to cheap and over-scented cleaning/air freshener products. Didn’t feel clean or invigorating on me at all. Soon after it also suddenly turned fake-fruity and sickly sweet (and I do like some jasmine scents, so it wasn’t just a general anti-flower backlash.) Cheap and generic overall.
This does have very assertive projection and great longevity … but I had to scrub it before finding its outer limits of performance, it was that cloying. Might try again some day, but this *so* was not the smell I was looking for.

We all love fragrances don’t we? Which is why we are here in Fragrantica reading reviews and trying to decipher our next fragrance adventure.
There are too many beautiful and complex fragrances now that sometimes I prefer…..to go the other direction and be quite simple.
Paradiso is something that is ‘simple’ in comparison to the other luxurious niche perfumes, but this is the reason why I think ‘she’ is interesting and SEXY. Uncomplicated green-floral-woodsy notes. The reviews here will tell you how they LOVE it or HATE it.
I simply LOVE IT!
This perfume is a creative way in bottling the Mediterranean spring summer air, in fact I can smell a hint of salt it. This is a fresh uplifting fragrance intended to take you outdoors….by the sea…..orchards…..jasmine fields…….with great longevity as well!
I simply LOVE IT!
drgkmooevk – :
Wowza! This one is not playing! I definitely can see why a lot of wearers find this masculine, however I find it more unisex if anything. Also, tread lightly, this is potent. Like NO JOKE potent, the kind of potent that fills the elevator even when the old lady has left the building.
I love Cavalli, I love how bold and in your face he is. I love how every scent by him is a “Here it is, if you don’t like it ‘F’ off”.
Paradiso is a very strong and bold Italian Woman. She smells of citrus and cypress and Mediterranean sea and sun.
This one is a keeper for me. It is a far cry from the “safe” spring summer scents of tropical, and gives you a glimpse of how the other seaside towns hold it down.
Guinplen – :
PHEW!! Where to start?
This is maybe the best blind-buy I’ve ever made! I’m typically a fan of Cavalli’s offerings, so I figured it was a pretty safe blind-buy… but I had no idea I was about to stumble on something so special.
First of all, I have to say that the the marketing material is a bit ridiculous and misleading. Calling it Paradiso,
putting a parrot in the photos and referring to it as a “holiday scent” gives the impression you’re getting something sweet, beachy & tropical. Nope!!
Paradiso may be a holiday scent… but it’s not a beachy holiday in the tropical sense. It’s a holiday on the Adriatic or Mediterranean coast… and maybe even a bit inland. It’s a citrus orchard on the edge of an evergreen forest, next to a house with blooming jasmine, not far from the sea.
While it opens up with a lot of beautiful and fresh citrus, the pine & cypress are also immediately present. This makes it so clean & crisp – it actually reminded me a bit of Irish Spring soap that I remember from my childhood.
As the citrus & wood settle down a bit (after about 30 mins), I could sense the jasmine ever so lightly.
Eventually it dries down to something a bit warmer and less fresh. The jasmine & wood notes combine to create something ultra feminine and soft. (almost a bit powdery for me)
The bottle is also a thing of beauty. It’s truly like a large diamond. So not only does it smell gorgeous, it’s also lovely to look at on your dressing table.
While I own many many fragrances, I find that I’m never really excited about my “Summer perfumes”. I’m more of a warm, spicy, BIG, fragrance kinda gal. Well, Paradiso gives me that vibe, that I like so much about my Winter perfumes, in a summery scent. I absolutely see this becoming my signature this Summer… if not every Summer from now on.
Sillage – 9/10
Longevity – 10/10 – edited from 8/10 to 10/10 when I realized that 12 hours later, I could still smell it on myself.
cch805speagoessenda – :
The fresh lovely summer fruty scent. It remids me the FA deodorante roll on orange color. The fruty tropical perfume. The bottle is so heavy. Also it’s creamy and soft. I think the best from this house.
DRON1975 – :
This perfume is quiet controversial as described in the comments and after my experience with it.
For me & my husband, it’s purely jasmine and he really enjoys it on me.
For my colleagues, some finds it very sweet, others very fresh & flowery.
Also, I’m enjoying wearing it in winter because it really cheers and warms me up.
It’s the 1st time i wear a Roberto Cavalli & I’ll give it 9/10.
vedrover – :
Not my favorite, but I must say that I have never gotten more compliments on any other perfume.
aleksa64 – :
A nice green fragrance. Elegant and not overly citrusy, but a bit too linear and boring for me. My husband liked it, though.
Claliabeelpic – :
First spray is quite appealing. I had high hopes for this one..not long after it takes a sour turn and becomes well not nice ha
ksyu_piratka – :
I loved this in the beginning, it was a rather masculine scent thanks to the cypress and pine tree notes, but in the dry down it becomes plain jasmine. I love jasmine, but here it’s boring and flat.
SindErerOnedo – :
Not woody nor sensual. I am sorry there’s just so much jasmine and white floral, Smells like toilet cleaner or vintage hair gel.
Blackman602 – :
I tested with a 1ml sample bottle. quickly, i associated the green/crisp middle notes with chloe’s si belle flanker. Paradiso is like si belle’s fruity sister. Just for the record, i also get the same vibes from chloe love story and versace eros pour femme. But Si Belle is the closest i think. So, since i already have one, i decided not to get the other. Most perfumes smell so identical these days, i want my fragrances to excite me more than that. Paradiso is one of the best sellers in my country, but it smelled just alright (actually kinda boring) to me. If you are looking for a simple and fruity fragrance for adults rather than teens, go for it. If you are after sophistication, you’ll most probably wont be impressed.
Opens with a strong and sweet fruity blast, combines with pepper-like-crispy green notes and florals in the middle, leaves the skin with a trail of lemon. Safe and simple and also refreshing (due to pepper-like greens) for the hottest days. Longevity is quite satisfactory for a summer type of a fragrance. Lasts about 5 hrs on my skin and even more on the clothes. And this is for winter time! i think it would last 8-9 hrs on skin in summer.
Mordecai – :
It reminds me of lychee 🙂 Am I the only one who feels this way?
inciongxwv – :
This perfume smells like walking into a citrus plantation. It reminds me of the Mediterranean hills during summer. It’s very green but still sensual like the Italian women are. It’s not a complex scent but it’s unique because you don’t find this combination often. This is not your standard tropical summer scent. It’s fresh in a very natural way. I like the bergamot in this perfume. This crisp, opening note ties in wonderfully with the green leaf base notes. The mandarin orange is subtile and uplifting. This note draws in the summer. The jasmin is feminine but also very strong. When it warms up on my skin it becomes too overwelming.
KRAFF – :
I bought a mini (.17 oz) blind and it really does not work with my body chemistry. Anyone want to swap, send me a message!
dambo7 – :
A perfect summer scent, bought it without trying and it was a very pleasant surprise when I tried it on. Immediate love, I wear it all year but it’s best in warm summer evenings
andrey_igorevich – :
Flashback to my childhood. My mother is in the kitchen, ironing. She is using a spray (do people still do this?) and I love its smell. I am now wearing Paradiso and feeling clean, comforted and nostalgic.I don’t get anything tropical from Paradiso, but lovely cleanliness and delight. Very good stuff
Enascackaky – :
Very nice scent for spring and summer. I really enjoy the aroma of the evergreen trees of the Mediterranean, mixed with citruses. All this fresh, green mix is nicely blended with white florals – I believe this is the jasmine, but in this perfume the jasmine scent is subdued and somehow sweet.
The scent lingers around me all day, giving me fresh, laid back feeling.
Like a beautiful lady wearing linen shirt, barefoot, on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean sea under the shades of pine trees and cypresses in the middle of the day.
Simply beautiful.
Fenrir555 – :
Nice smell. For spring and summer days it fits more than winter in my opinion. Light citrus but sweet because it is jasmine in composition. Pine do not feel as such. A little fresh, so light. Average durability. Not my taste too much, I have a sample and I will finish it. But I recommend,it can be great for some people.
boiblefoevorn – :
I am seriously in love with this perfume. I have not been this excited about a scent in a while, this was an unexpected surprise. It has been called a tropical scent numerous times and I find that a bit misleading. There is nothing tropical fruity in this perfume. But it is a tropical green scent; a tropical forest filled with plants and white flowers.
The thing that I love about Paradiso is the naturalness of it. I suspect most of us here live artificial lives far away from nature. There are times when I crave nature with all my heart, that clean aliveness, green vegetation and the freedom of endless blue skies and a breeze alive with different natural scents. This perfume embodies exactly just that. It is all about clean simple white flowers and green plants. I especially love the cypress in this, it is like a breath of fresh air every time I catch a whiff of it. The pine is not too noticeable, it doesn’t end up smelling like household cleaners as sometimes happen to pine scents. There is nothing complex about this but that is a good thing in this case. It is relaxed, it is happy and it is true freedom in a bottle.
This is my escape to nature in the midst of a busy city with hardly any green in sight. I really want a full bottle of this. This would also make an ideal summer holiday fragrance in my opinion.
RCUL – :
Somehow it smells cheap, but on the other side it smells very VERY UNIQUE and beautiful.
Upri4nik – :
There’s something tangy at first. The cypress in this is a bit aggressive. It smells cheap. I agree with the reviewer who said that this gives an air freshener effect.
A no for me.
wakeful – :
i smell peaches at first and was really surprised that those aren’t in fact the correct notes. very fruty to begin with, super pleasant, but sort of ordinary. The drydown is AMAZING, wich was very surprising to me. after a few hours, the frutieness disappears entirely and you’re left with a beautiful clean smell of the countryside in the best way possible. it smells like nature. if it were like that fom the star i would by it without a question
nolumi – :
Wearing Paradiso is like inhaling a breath of fresh mountain air in the garden of Eden. The name is absolutely perfect for the scent.It is a luxuriant fragrance, with one of the most beautiful jasmine I have ever smelled, with the elegant and enigmatic cypress and a little drop of refreshing lime, only to wake up our senses. It is unique and amazing!
PS: It gets a lot of compliments, the sillage and longevity are awesome!
LESHA21 – :
This smells exactly like Laundry or an exellent fabric softener, due to the aromatic base notes.
If you like this clean, conforting kind of scents, this will be your paradiso.
HUGE longevity!
wxv544Diobtetty – :
Not being a fan of florals, I blind bought Paradiso because I love the name and everything Italian.
Its top notes are indeed heavenly, this is what Paradise must smell like. The middle notes give me the same problem as all Cavalli perfumes I have tried: they do not smell bad, but something bothers me. The drydown is nice and close to the skin.
Overall I was mesmerised by the opening, and from there down it was just a like, not a love for me.
Very summer appropriate and good for girls of all ages;)
oleg70 – :
This is the only perfume i would like to smell on woman,all other womans perfumes gaves me a headache…Roberto Cavalli has done a great job on this one,my girlfriend also like this version,so no more headache 🙂
Scent 10/10
Sillage 8/10
Longevity 8/10

This is heaven in a bottle. I am hopelessly in love with this perfume! Whenever I wear it, everyone asks me what I am wearing and I get a lot of compliments!!!!!!
3,8097E+11 – :
On my skin it’s a soft and sensual Jasmine parfumo. I think it’s classic and elagant.
I was afraid of citrus attack! But no, thankfully not. I do smell sweet mandarine. Bergamot comes later on my skin. More warm citrus.
In the middle it’s a lot Jasmine. And a very soft and sensual one. In this parfum I really love it a lot! Still in company from sweet friend mandarine.
After about 3 to 5 hours this parfumo changes on my skin into more warm and comforting. Now I smell the 3 last ingredients. Whiffs of each.
This is a well blended parfumo! Instant holiday feelings for me to Laco Maggiore 🙂 When I wear this I feel at ease and comforted, but also sensual and maybe…a little seductive to 😉
8/10
Go give this one a try, even in winter! It’s good to spice up your mood ( and your mojo 🙂
five311 – :
I don’t like it. The opening is not that bad, but when it dries down it becomes sickening and it does bother me. And when a perfume bothers me…it’s a big no! The dry-down is kinda sweet-floral-woody-powdery, but not in a pleasant way. I guess it’s the cypress + laurel note altogether with the overpowering jasmine.
levan1988 – :
I don’t own any Roberto Cavalli perfumes so far but this one I sampled today and I have decided I really like it! I can smell it on the tester card which is currently sat 3 feet away from me! This is a grown up and sophisticated tropical scent! Want want want….!!!
vadiostuma – :
Judging on the comments below, this one is rather controversial. In contrast, I find this to be a well-behaved perfume of solid quality. Not every new fragrance is intended to re-invent the wheel, you know. This one suits an decent every-day appearance for women who want to add a touch of dreaminess. A nice one for nice girls, so to speak.

ekaterin2512 – :
Such a simple scent, it hurts. On more positive note, all ingredients blend together quite seamlessly and create a perfect harmony. Unfortunately, it is not a complex perfume whatsoever, and does not develop in time, revealing heart notes. Simply boring, especially in comparison with other Cavalli scents.
AzTeK – :
Currently, it is December 2015. I sprayed this perfume two days ago, my little girl asked me to try it. WELL! It is gorgeous.
December in England, can be quite depressing, the weather is super cold, the air has no personality or atmosphere. The skies are grey and and quite gloomy.
You need a pick me up, a little sunshine to avoid S.A.D from creeping in(seasonal affective disorder).
So in an instant, after I spray Paradiso I smiled, it smelt fruity and tropical and dazzlingly sensual and fun and that is exactly what I needed during this winter period!
My mother took me on many Winter Sun holidays,places like Egypt, Tunisia and the Caribbean so bringing summer into winter is positively therapeutically wonderful….for me darlings x

Absolutely LOVELY! My must have fragrance. As I pass my scentime lingers. It’s always sold outin my country. My favorite fragrance this far
RoMagellaN – :
I went ahead and bought a full bottle, despite some of the bad reviews here, because I am a fan of his perfumes in general.
This one did not disappoint. It’s a sparkling, long-lasting scent that makes me happy when I’m wearing it.
I don’t know how sophisticated or complicated or nuanced it is; I just know that I love the smell, which btw does not at all smell anything like some of the weird references here.
Zxcvbnm1 – :
Clean and fresh fragrance. Not very unique but nice
ikar78 – :
disagree about the comments below saying this perfume smells like car freshener or hairspray. it’s a really nice smell on me, it lasts a long time, and i’ve gotten a lot of compliments!
definitely on the “girly” side, and definitely a summer scent, but i’ll wear it through October…
i give it 8/10
Irin1975 – :
Reminds me of a jungle on a desert island I smell fresh ripe juices bursting with citruses and fruits. The prominent note in this for me is a creamy mango coconut scent. This is undeniable a summer scent for those natural women with waved hair no makeup and sun kissed skin.
A lovely beautiful fruity creamy citrus scent. So ripe smelling!
Rating=7/10
I do actually like it- it is different and rather gourmand- I may purchase it someday
Edit- do actually really like this one it has really grown on me there is something about it- new rating=8.5/10
termovictor – :
OMG this perfume is a paradise spa i adore this perfume it is just amazing heavenly amazing
its neat , clean, dreamy relaxing perfume love it.
Rotsuntonia – :
Fresh, soft burst of white florals and beautiful touches of woodsy and wood notes.
Perfect for that touch of Summer.
The scent is not artificial smelling and warms nicely to the skin.
_zhenya_ – :
I find Paradiso quite good – on my skin: a little citrus in the beginning, jasmine for the 30 minutes and in drydown pine and laurel leaf which makes it a little masculine. Fresh but not sharp, flowery but without any sweetness. Wonderful and comforting for summer, easy to wear, not bothering for anybody. Relaxed vacation time scent. Beautiful bottle
Afany_69 – :
chewing gum and washing powder.
refreshing, an everyday scent.
wouldn’t wear it anywhere fancy
t01s0 – :
Paradiso is a little bit to girly for my taste. Fresh but sweet flwoernotes, fresh airy pine tree. Flirty, sexy, girly. Nice but I don’t get along with it.
Paradiso är lite för tjejig för min smak. Fräscha men söta blomnoter, fräsch luftig tall. Flirtig, sexig, tjejig. Trevlig men jag kommer inte överrens med den.
ionuts – :
I tested it already 3 times and every time results are the same:Longlasting,fresh,and different!ON MY SKIN of course,I can see many reviews here are negative.
I don’t call it tropical but forest-like,very vivid and developing well thru the day.I want to have it.
If anyone of you has it and don’t want it anymore,here I am for a swap!
I can understand your objections,don’t bye it blindly, from my point of view as always.
Deutsher – :
Totally agreed that this smells like car freshener! I was searching for the word and found it in the comments. Its very subtle, the notes are not blended well imo, instead of giving it a rate this time i will giv a price (: imo again this fragrance should be in the 10-20 $ range…
TAHK_u_BTP – :
Hi! I bought this in a rush… test it on paper, then on my skin. I tought it’s nice, somehow different. When I wore it for the first time, I was sooo sad. It smells like car freshener.
kgy844intitytek – :
Sweet, slightly heady and peppery, reminds me of Azzaro no. 9. Not unpleasant but not particularly original either.
unreal123 – :
This is such a disappointment. I love ‘Roberto Cavalli’ in the yellow oval bottle, and like Nero Assoluto so I hoped this fragrance would be just as promising at those offerings. However, on my skin at least, this perfume is so synthetic-smelling. Sticky syrup drizzled over rotting fruit. I feel physically ill. I have attempted 3 times to wash it off but it’s still as present as ever. How ironic; the perfumes I love I can’t get to stick around, and this one doesn’t want to leave. Maybe it’s because I’ve sprayed it on a cold weather day and it’s clearly a summer fragrance. Or maybe I’m trying to make excuses for it… Glad it works for some of you, but for me it’s a big no!
L3g1on – :
This screams “SUMMER!!!” so loud that it didn’t even feel right to spray it until the temperature reached 20°C. I bought it in the beginning of February and wore it today for the very first time. The marketing campaign is right on point, it represents the smell so perfectly. Well done! The bottle is beautiful, classic and pleasingly heavy.
It was an instant love for me. This is not my usual light summer fragrance; it has this very specific sweet richness to it; feels somehow thick but not suffocating.
My hometown is famous as ‘the city of linden trees’ in Bulgaria. This perfume pretty much resembles that intoxicating sweetness in the warmed up air when the linden start to bloom in June. It evokes all those dearest memories of a care-free childhood and home. It takes me back to another world and is surely one of the most adorably nostalgic scents I own.
jimnimebonia – :
Paradiso is like Roberto Cavalli (in the amber bottle) with a tropical kick. It reminds me of punch or a fruity drink on a hot day. The drawback is the staying power is not good at all.
mgcndy2 – :
Quite vintage smell to put it kindly. The horrendous truth is that it smells J U S T like hairspray. I’m not sure if it’s a Loreal hairspray? Think it’s elnett. I sprayed it on my hand and later went, huh why does my hand smell of hairspray? Very strange.
kuli4 – :
At first it is very nice, floral fruity scent, but middle and base notes are intense fir and Mediterranean greens. Very teasing. Not for me.
oljas_999 – :
Nulla di speciale, fiorito e delicato..verso la fine ricorda il Place Vendome
Feleiroldetle – :
Ugo Foscolo scriveva:”All’ombra dei cipressi e dentro l’urne”….aggiungo io- ci metterei Paradiso! Che di cipressi manco l’ombra!! Nessuna nota di quelle elencate ma un super mix di chimica da apprendista.. Se mi si deve strappare la parola “carino” per questo cocktail la azzarderei in riferimento e in associazione a un detersivo. Se un sapone per i piatti avesse questo odore, ecco, allora potrei dire anche, carino! Il Paradiso per fortuna nostra non è questo che manco un giardino pare, semmai, un orto di odori confusi rimasti al sole.Con rispetto parlando per i gusti di tutti, ma esiste di meglio o di pari alla metà. Perchè non è giusto pagare caro qualcosa che non vale tanto!
nata0206k – :
I have a bottle and I’ve used this 2 weeks ago so I can tell that I know this scent. I’m not a huge RC fan but sometimes I can enjoy Cavalli’s italian style and the way that he describe the sexy woman by his fragrances. Paradiso is an interesting scent: on my skin the cypress accord with the dry woody notes is great, fresh and sensual. I love jasmin, and I love this masculine akkord with jasmin, I say very hot! I like to wear it, great sillage, good long lasting.
Skap – :
I really like this perfume’s campaign, that’s why I tried Cavalli’s new fragrance. Anyway, I don’t like his parfumes so much.
So then when I smell it first it was so pungent and intrusive. Then the hours went by it was getting softer and lighter and I started to like it. When my boyfriend arrived at home in the evening his first question was: what the hell is that smell? It was Paradiso… Never ever!
It smells like a fake juicy soap .
Locman – :
Smells fake, cheap and plastic. A nice scent, it’s not bad as a scent but as a ‘perfume’ it’s not good! Smells cheap, something like cheap celebrity perfume but flowers instead of the celebrity sweet vanillas.
Кэп – :
I am at an island. The sun is going down and a light breeze brings a lovely smell!This is the smell of Paradiso to me!
lezer – :
I had such high hopes for this fragrance, all of the notes are my absolute favourites! Cypress, pine, citrus, jasmine? Oh my!
However, I am quite disappointed to be honest. I expected a true, fresh, hot, maybe slightly unisex paradise and all I got was something so generic, I can’t believe it’s not Avon. Don’t get me wrong, some Avon fragrances are perfectly fine, but they don’t charge a huge buck for their fumes, unlike Cavalli.
The drydown has Cavalli’s signature accord, just like in Acqua.
This is the first time I’m writing a review like that, maybe because I had such high hopes, like going on an online-blind date – everything seems good on paper, but you get so let down when meeting up in real life. But hey, maybe it’s me!
anzelliie – :
It’s too bitter for my taste. Jasmine note is overwhelming and it gets darkly woody after some time.
Nothing about paradise in this one. But that’s just my opinion.
If the whole thing would be just a little lighter, it would be fine.
I can’t imagine myself wearing something like this.
brital – :
Not bad, but not good either, quite safe and generic, doesn’t worth the money.
n.shestakov – :
Screechy citrus (but could be pineapple), very generic high-pitch fruit bomb in the opening.
It gives you a slap then hide away.
Weird… someone like Roberto Cavalli should know how a paradise on earth really smells.
I wanted to like the drydown, because the listed notes are interesting, but there was very little to smell after the “exotic-chemical” initial burst.
shandor2004 – :
Pretty bottle. Oh, about the juice? really one of Cavalli’s worst. Why?
– so common so predictable fruit-floral with no character what so ever, the blend itself is poorly made, the notes are a bit confused; tuberose and jasmine are projected at the same time both seconds after application, both very intense, creating this somehow air refresher effect rather than a floral bouquet effect.
– so expensive and you can find far superior perfumes for 10 dollars or less.
– its long lasting and kinda of sticky long lasting not the nice long lasting. I had to wash it off my hand.
HawkWind – :
This is lovely, this is to me what Chloe Love Story should have been!!
I love Cavalli fragrances, they smell soo nice. Paradiso is breezy, it makes me think of a warm wind in my face, sonething sunny about it too…aromatic and warm, it is captivating, feminine, just enveloping also..it gets more floral in the drydown..it is the type of scent I enjoy wearing right now….fresh, warm, bright….it isn’t unique yet I can’t think of another scent like it! It lasts quite a while …I agree there is a hint of sweetness in it too..nice sweet floral
Happy to have it on my collection, my husband complimented me on it, which he doesn’t do often!!!

Una copia di Saharienne YSL, un po’ più anemica perchè priva di pepe.
Agrumatino. Nulla di che.

Hi!, I feel totally in love with Paradiso, is like a Jasmin breeze with a sweet hint behind.
Is a bracing scent, has a feminine woody undertone and soft Laurel, which makes it very fresh and young, different twist also.
I like Roberto Cavalli fragrances because are really womanly and have something special, this is no exception.
About the lasting power is really good, keeps enough noticeable.
Great creation, great scent.
