The review
On paper, Absurd is a reasonable bet if you want Paradoxe for less.
Scentual Obsessions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Paradoxe's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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 Scentual Obsessions 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
The original opens on neroli and bergamot, turns to jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into amber, musk and vanilla. That is the brief Absurd is working from.
Top
- neroli
- bergamot
Heart
- jasmine
- orange blossom
Base
- amber
- musk
- vanilla
Neroli and white musk in a soft amber haze, clean and quietly magnetic.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
