In general, I think you can get really great, high-quality fragrances from Cavalli for really good prices, and they last great, which is important to me. Nevertheless, I could imagine that this one is not a safe blind buy, because I find it already unique by the pine note and you also have to like this spicy. With "Paradiso" by Roberto Cavalli this has already happened and the 75 ml bottle adorns my dresser (slowly there is no more room for new perfumes and I have to grow ;-)) At this point I have to get sentimental for a moment and wish everyone here on Parfumo that this year will like better than the last. Remains confident and above all HEALTHY! The flacon I also find super pretty, only the lid is perhaps a bit clunky, which could possibly disturb in the handbag, but overall the flacon looks really noble?

But then last year our summer holiday was coming up and like every year I had to make the difficult decision: which one will be my holiday scent this year? With which scent do I want to be reminded of this holiday when I smell it again later? If it is supposed to be a paradise, then it should be a Mediterranean one. I could imagine summer holidays in Tuscany like this - although I have never been there before. Azzurro is then also heaven at most. No sea breeze in sight. Those who have already spent their holidays in the south of France at the Atlantic coast know the special flair of the trees there. And now in retrospect I can say that no scent would have greeted me there better than this one. Paradiso is the key to a parallel world embraced by a secret garden in a magnificent villa nestled on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. A tantalising prelude of crisp citrus notes blend with those of warm exotic bergamot and sweet mandarin. A fresh and sparkling head gives way to a subtle heart of wild jasmine. The base note of the fragrance boasts a rich and delicate accord of cypress, oleander and Mediterranean pine trees. A refined accord of Italian aromas extend and intensify the hypnotic effect of the jasmine generating a persistent woody base note. The badly rated durability here surprises me, because the scent lingers bombastically with me. I can still smell it or the base note after 12 hours. This is of course unfavorable in my case, because I don't like the base note as much as the part before it.Someone wrote that this fragrance totally reminds me of YSL Libre and I can really agree with that. They're not identical, of course, but they definitely have the same vibe, especially in the opening. What I like even more about Paradiso is that it doesn't have that prominent lavender note like Libre, something I had to get used to with Libre. Paradiso is thereby at the beginning clearly softer than Libre. But it felt like eternities ago that you could get clever advice in the perfumery - with a big scent sample. So I simply let myself be convinced of his inner qualities. When I first sprayed on Paradiso, I immediately thought, "You look so familiar." Now that's not meant as a judgment at all, but you know when you smell something and immediately think, I've smelled that before? That's what happened to me with this one. It has not left me in peace ... So I searched the internet until I came across it (I think it was even here)

For my birthday at the beginning of December, I got from a good friend an Advent calendar, equipped with perfumery items, as a gift. As it turned out, a very nice gift with many articles, which quite inspire to buy the original size. I love the top and heart note of the fragrance. The fragrance starts very citric, which I find refreshing. The following jasmine is intense, but for me it feels very summery and somehow "wet". This gives me the direct association of lying in the pool in heat and sunshine. This heart note stays for quite a while, but then unfortunately the base note follows, which I don't like at all. I suddenly have the feeling that I am sitting in a forest with thousands of cypresses and pines. These scents are there from the very beginning, but they are discreetly integrated. This slightly woody one at the beginning I like very much, but in the base note I only smell the forest and it smells very harsh and masculine on me. After weeks of wearing rather heavy perfumes, Paradiso is a welcome change. But the fragrance will unfold best in warmer temperatures.And that's when Paradiso caught my eye! Well, with "Paradiso" - "Paradise" I probably rather associate the Maldives or something like that, than a surfing holiday, where we live in the south of France in a small hut and otherwise have almost no luxury around us. But there was the pine as a base note, which finally convinced me to make it THE scent of my holiday 2019. After all, what could be better than a fragrance that contains the scent of the trees that will surround me for two weeks?

Roberto Cavalli Paradiso was designed to enhance the joie de vivre. An uplifting and stimulating fragrance, it radiates delight and happiness. A resounding ode to sensuality and seduction, it encourages us to seize the moment and fully enjoy the pleasures of this earthly paradise. The Roberto Cavalli Paradiso woman exudes charm, glee and brightness. She is optimistic and has a sunny disposition. She makes the most of life and transforms every occasion into a precious opportunity to be savoured and treasured. She understands that style and glamour are, more than a posture, a true way of life. Paradiso azzurro" is a pleasant summer scent for the not so hot days: a little fresh citrus at the beginning, then jasmine and wood take over. The jasmine is not really heavy, but soft and sluggishParadiso lives up to its name; I was immediately thrilled when opening the miniature bottle of the fresh, floral scent that blows towards you. And I must say, I find him unexpectedly great, much better than I would have thought at first and the more often I wear it, the better I like it. Especially in the summer heat, this fragrance is the hammer!❤️❤️❤️ It lasts incredibly well, on the body as on the clothes and is fresh, citrusy and a bit spicy, a little sweet, but not too much and thus for me a real discovery in the summer. It also gives me such high-end sunscreen vibes in drydown, though it doesn't have any coconut or other notes to give that feeling. If this perfume had been launched this year: I would have left it on the shelf. The whole outfit is miles away from my booty pattern. The flask of bling-bling in turquoise-gold. Well, the turquoise is nice. Roberto Cavalli was never my taste before. And the name "Paradiso azzurro" rather hinted at aquatic or fruity-sweet.
