Paradiso

Paradiso by Roberto Cavalli is a bright, clean-scented fragrance that opens with fresh citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin orange, quickly evolving into a distinct white floral heart dominated by jasmine. This floral core is balanced by aromatic, green notes of cypress, laurel, and pine, creating a crisp, naturalistic atmosphere reminiscent of a Mediterranean forest. While some find the jasmine overpowering or synthetic, many appreciate its sensual, creamy quality and the way it integrates with the woody and aromatic base. The scent is most appreciated during summer, thanks to its refreshing qualities and moderate longevity, though some report it persists strongly on clothing for over a day. It performs well on skin, with noticeable sillage and a lovable, layered development throughout the day. The fragrance leans feminine but is described by some as unisex, with strong projections that attract attention and compliments. A notable minority find the combination of jasmine and green notes irritating or reminiscent of air fresheners or laundry products, though the majority praise its elegance and clean, sophisticated feel. It is frequently compared to YSL Libre for its floral brightness and relatively low price point, although some note it lacks the refinement of the original. Despite being sold as a summer fragrance, it has been used year-round by some, particularly in a cooler climate, thanks to its airy, natural character.
