The review
On paper, Para God is a reasonable bet if you want Paradigme for less.
Scentual Obsessions lists 3 of the 10 notes in Paradigme's pyramid — bergamot, geranium and musk. What it does not list: grapefruit, cardamom, lavender and iris; and it adds amber woods, benzoin and guaiac wood of its own.
At $133 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Paradigme — the 6th 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 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 bergamot, grapefruit and cardamom, turns to lavender, iris and geranium, and settles into Ambroxan, cedar and vetiver. That is the brief Para God is working from.

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.
