The review
zero resistance scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Paradigme.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Paradigme's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 53% less than Paradigme — the 4th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Prada Paradigme is bergamot, grapefruit and cardamom at first, lavender, iris and geranium at its heart and Ambroxan, cedar and vetiver at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- grapefruit
- cardamom
Heart
- lavender
- iris
- geranium
Base
- Ambroxan
- cedar
- vetiver
A cool, ambroxan-driven masculine positioned as Prada's next big men's pillar.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 10 twins of Prada Paradigme we can price, zero resistance is number 4 on price per 100ml.
