Paradoxe
Opens straight into jasmine and orange blossom opening at night. Underneath, amber and musk — resin held up to the light. It registers feminine, sophisticated rather than sporty, and sensual rather than clean.
A reference profile, not a product. Rayhan Scents is an independent house, is not affiliated with or endorsed by Prada, and does not sell decants.

Base — what lingers

Weighted almost entirely at the base, this is the kind of profile that outlasts the day — poured as a high-concentration oil it holds at the pulse points for twelve hours and is still legible on a scarf the next morning.
Al-Tahara Musk
White Musk · Lotus · Cotton
Al-Tahara Musk is built on the same white florals and musk, and its base — White Musk, Ambrette, Blond Cedar — carries the profile at the same weight Paradoxe does on skin.
