I’m going to make this short and sweet. I can’t detect any difference between the two, they literally smell the exact same to me.

Only one tiny difference is right at the opening when it’s still glistening on my skin the Ra’ed is harsher but after a minute I smelled again and almost forgot which arm I sprayed which on they are so close. Opening, mid, dry down smells the same to me.

Projection and longevity of both were the same, I might even give a tiniest slight edge to Intensely but that could be because the sprayer gives a spray instead of a finer mist on the Paradigme. Neither are beasts but it will get you through the day and this DNA I think could easily become cloying if it was any more powerful.

Box on Intensely is gorgeous presentation, bottle is nice and heavy but not a big fan of the aesthetics, cap is cheap, sprayer works but isnt my favorite, it gives out way too much juice in a small area and isn’t pressurized. I wish they put some of that box money into the sprayer and the cap.

Bought from Lattafa USA Tik Tok Shop for $19 (after coupon) just because I was curious if anyone has made a good dupe of Paradigme yet.

I haven’t Tried La Fede but I’ve read it a little darker and the longevity isn’t great. With how good Ra’ed Intensely is performing and considering I have the OG I think I’m done with this DNA, I like it a lot but don’t love it…I’m more of a light freshie guy and this DNA definitely is on the sweeter and heavier side. Also you could get two bottles of Ra’ed for the price of 1 bottle of La Fede.

With how good Intensely is I wish I didn’t buy the OG though.

When I first bought it, I looked at the note breakdown on Frgarantica and I thought it might be a twist of the DNA with white florals so would smell like a combination of Paradigme and Myself (which sounded amazing to me) (Paradigme has Geranium, Myself has White Florals), I think the note breakdown is wrong because on the listed ingredients on the Ra’ed box they list Geraniol. This is definitely a straight Paradigme dupe.
