Paradise for Women (2003)
by Alfred Sung

Why should I repeat myself, just see my review for Paradise for men. They are two different scents and I like them both but they do not last the time you say the word Paradise. But as they actually smell good, a neutral from me

19th March, 2011.

First off, the bottle is awful, it looks like a pencil sharpener with a lid made from my kitchen worktop. Next, the scent itself is disappointing to me. l was expecting heady, tropical flowers, but it's fruity & a little aquatic. lt's crisp & refreshing, definitely a summer scent, but l'm not getting any florals or musk here. The sillage isn't bad, but it's gone after two hours. Not terrible, just not my thing.

Edit; l confess l wrote my original review during the first wearing, without (gasp!) waiting for the drydown. l know, l know, lesson learned!
Anyway, a while later l noticed a pleasant waft of musky woods coming from somewhere, & realised it was me! l've revisited this perfume over the last couple of days, hoping to re-create this effect, but it just hasn't happened in the same way. l think it requires warmer temperatures to really make it bloom. l'm still not getting the floral notes, either.
As an aside, it reminds me of the Body Shop's lndian Gardenia rather a lot. That one's not terribly floral either.

Edit; bottle now sold. l found it a reasonably pleasant scent, but l just got bored with it. And l have other tropicals that are much more "me".

I tried this scent based, in part, on the positive reviews on this site. I was very disappointed. This is an overly strong musk that has no floral notes that I could find and nothing else to recommend it.

Well this is something good. It's MUCH better than the men's version (does not last at all). Smelling Paradise up close there's a ton of musk but if you just let it sit there and go about your business it gives off great sillage and a much better perception of its notes. There I can get light fruity and gentle jasmine floral. Good aquatic floral for the spring and summer or any hot day really. It's a little lively but doesn't feel like you've had too much caffeine. Just enough fragrance to get you going!

Just like Sung's FOREVER, this is another lovely light floral, for spring or summer. Nothing in this offends. I can smell the florals, while the sandalwood, musk and vanilla are rather faint. Lasting power is decent at 6 hours, which is decent for an EDT. I toss my bottle into my purse, for refreshing later. You can find this for under $20 for a 1.7 oz bottle at some discount stores.

I was pleasantly surprised by this "sophisticated tropical" fragrance. Most tropicals I tried were overwhelming and cheap smelling, but this and Monyette's Coquette Tropique are my definite favorites. It's tropical, but woody and soft, too without being powdery or cloying. Nice, unoffensive scent for warm weather.
