The review
On paper, Paragon is a reasonable bet if you want Paragon for less.
Zoha Aroma sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Paragon'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 Zoha Aroma 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 lavender, sage and bergamot, turns to plum, palo santo and black pepper, and settles into sandalwood and agarwood (oud). That is the brief Paragon is working from.
Top
- lavender
- sage
- bergamot
Heart
- plum
- palo santo
- black pepper
Base
- sandalwood
- agarwood (oud)
For the one who wants a meditative woody-spicy signature, smoky palo santo and plum wrapped around sandalwood and oud for a calm, magnetic aura.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
