Shift

The review

Strong contender. That is where Shift lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Paradigme.

Mod Fragrances 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 $45 it costs 67% less than Paradigme.

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 Mod Fragrances 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.
