- Is Paragon an eau de parfum or an extrait?
- It is an extrait de parfum, the most concentrated form Initio sells. Expect denser projection and longer wear than a typical eau de parfum.
- What does Paragon smell like?
- A smoky, woody-spicy opening that settles into a soft amber and wood base. It reads rich and resinous rather than fresh or citrusy.
- How many sprays should I use?
- Two to three sprays is plenty at extrait strength. Over-spraying is the most common way this one becomes overpowering.
- Is it better for day or night?
- Night and cold weather suit it best. The dense, smoky profile can feel heavy in heat or in an office.
- Should I sample before buying a full bottle?
- Yes. The profile is bold and polarizing, and extrait strength means a bottle lasts a long time. Try a decant on skin first.
- Where is the Initio Paragon Prives Extrait De Parfum cheapest?
- At Shop Simon, for $499.50, as of our latest check.
