Hedonist Collection - Paragon – Eau de Parfum

Initio - Hedonist Collection - PARAGON - Eau de Parfum

PARAGON, a masterpiece of fragrances, contains the ancient wisdom of Palo Santo and white sage. These sacred plants, passed down over generations through secret initiation rites, date back to the beginnings of the Inca shamans. Their mystical heritage combines protective and purifying powers. Initio Parfums Privés picks up on this magical heritage and interprets it in a modern, powerful and long-lasting way.

PARAGON is a vibrant symphony that combines the calming effect of bergamot and lavender with the stimulating power of pepper to open the mind and heart. This fragrance envelops the body, physically, emotionally and spiritually, in a protective aura. It is a journey to the depths of the soul, a connection with the forces of nature and the spiritual world. PARAGON begins with the fresh impression of tangy bergamot, which immediately conveys an invigorating freshness. Lavender provides a herbaceous, slightly floral fragrance with a relaxing effect. Sage brings an aromatic and spicy aspect into play. At the heart of PARAGON, the black pepper and the cedarwood note play an exciting and slightly balsamic game.

Palo Santo, which means ‘sacred wood’ in Spanish, comes from trees of the Bursera genus, which mainly grow in South America, particularly in countries such as Peru and Ecuador. Palo Santo has a distinct woody base note that is both dry and slightly sweet. This woody fragrance is warm and calming and is reminiscent of freshly cut wood. The sacred wood, Palo Santo in the PARAGON fragrance contains balsamic, resinous notes reminiscent of ambergris or incense. These notes give the fragrance depth and a certain density. It has a light, gentle smokiness that is reminiscent of burnt wood, but is much more subtle and less aggressive than incense wood or frankincense.

Palo Santo has subtle sweet notes that are often described as vanilla or cinnamon. This sweetness is not overpowering, but complements the woody and resinous elements in a harmonious way. One of the notable characteristics of Palo Santo is its citrusy freshness, reminiscent of lime or lemon. This freshness gives the fragrance an invigorating and refreshing note that harmonises well with the sweet woody and balsamic notes.

Eaglewood, also known as OUD, gives PARAGON its smoky and slightly sweet note. A touch of the Orient combined with the creaminess of sandalwood gives the fragrance its velvety texture. Musk reinforces the animalistic quality and provides a powdery base.

All in all, PARAGON is a masterfully composed fragrance that conveys depth and sensuality.
