To me the white floral notes are too heady, making this perfume way too heavy to wear on a hot day - or any day since it’s headache inducing to me. I own a 75ml bottle but won’t be spraying this ever again, unfortunately.

swagsasha10

This perfume will always have a special place in my heart because it's the first perfume I ever bought. It's sweet and girly. Although the price is mid-range, the longevity is so good! I can smell it on my clothes for days. Very good perfume and budget-friendly. 

AnlisaC

Love! such a tropical floral. Soft powdery and not bad sillage. I feel the wisteria makes it powdery but not the usual powder more leaning towards tropical! I feel this also can be worn by anyone as for longevity not sure yet but I am feeling very good in the longevity department. If you can find this grab this inexpensive gem! 9/10

Very different than most even the vanilla note! Tropical vacay evening fragrance!

inRio

I have to agree with jaimepenney, this is for lovers of florals. This fragrance gives me the subtropical holiday destination vibe, rich and warm summer and lushness. A touch of vanilla that I get in the drydown makes it very slightly sweet, but it blends in so well.
May not be groundbreaking fragrance, but it's really well done, sensual and, yes, addictive.

jaimepenney

Initially this is loud and screechy......but this only lasts a few minutes before it settles down to a beautiful warm floral. Once the screechiness settles it very classy and almost sexy. I wouldn't say it's a sweet perfume but it does have a tiny hint of sweetness. Lasts about 4-5hrs on skin, a day on clothes. It is addictive. Makes me keep smelling myself. This is not for people who don't like florals. It's very floral dominant. I'm loving florals right now. Woody, creamy sexy florals with some sweetness, and this fits the bill. Can be worn day or night and also great for summer.

I find this perfume very heavy and overpowering. There are so many floral notes mixed with pink pepper which makes it absolutely terrible. The openning is very sharp, nose burning and on my skin is happens to stay the same all day. I had to give it away to my mum but still I can't stand this smell even on her. Don't recommend to blind buy it or at all.

doya

Anyone finds this similar to Casmir? On my skin they're so similar, must be the spices.

mekanazekana

Oh I love this one. It was actually my blind buy. Such a perfect combination of flowers, citruses and red pepper on vanilla and sandalwood. It last long, dry down is good. It's warm scent, not refreshing, but it is not too sweet and flowery since it has a lot of citruses in it.

Azronjela

Definitely one of my favorite fragrances ever. I just love how white flowers discreetly blends with pink pepper.
10/10 pure love for me ♥️

OzzyEyes

I've recently tested the og, Azzurro and Assoluto on my skin and this one is my favourite! I live in a sub-tropical climate and the passionfruit in this is gorgeous and tropical. The OG smells like passionfruit and Jasmine on my skin, lasts all day, and the dry down stays fresh and fruity on me. Assoluto dries down to be a passionfruit vanilla which will be gorgeous all year round, day and night, with the exception of really hot humid summer days, where the OG would perform better if you wanted a fresher vibe instead of more sultry and seductive.

Chira

I had to leave another comment. It's so hot here where I live (40C) and I was getting bored of my refreshing citruses (Chance Eau fresh and the likes) so I pulled out my signature. I knew she never disappoints. This is perfect for hot and humid weather, as it is perfect for the dead of winter.

The pepper and lilly mix so well together and smell sexy and refreshing, and the vanila is there but not really. If you don't like typical fruity/lemon/coconut summer offerings give this one a snif ❤️

cardamoms

This very quickly became one of my favourites! It’s super fruity and sweet but for some reason I’m not getting any white floral from it. It’s not something I would wear to work as it is a bit too strong but it’s perfect for a nice summer day.

Gothicat

The original Paradiso DNA really comes through. It is definitely more sweet, almost sickeningly sweet. Dries down to a very fresh masculine scent. It would be beautiful if that pepper note wasn’t there. Very strong, even after trying to wash it off I can still smell it. Not a safe blind but, don’t make my mistake.

Hunnynpink

Opens with a bright freshness of citrus notes. Sweet vanilla, soft cashmere and skin scented musk that lasts until washing.

Hannehoney

Fun, fruity and flirty :) A warm summer evening or night. Its sensual :) Perfect to bring with you on vacation with a summerdress :) Reminds me of Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush.

elledeelee

Risky blind buy based on these very positive reviews, I rushed out to buy it on a whim when I should have done more research! First impressions from the paper strip were that it smells very heavy, a bit like a bubble bath; a rather mature scent.

The opening is all white florals and orange or grapefruit citrus notes. It's touch peppery, a touch woody. Sharp and strong, it could be a real headache generator. I should have known, vanilla citrus white florals would put it in the same category as Armani Code, which I dislike. However, a vague herbal undertone does slightly set it apart.

Based on all that, I was actually a bit scared to try it on skin, but I needn't have been, since it's much softer on me and quite short lived. I stupidly didn't even manage to get it for a particularly good price either!

Overall I'd categorise this as a very fruity floral on a woody vanilla base. It's a classy and grown up scent, but it's not got much staying power. It's growing on me the more I wear it but had I tested it first admittedly I would not have bought a full bottle.

Sassafras23

Too heavy and overpowering. I’m fond of Paradiso and Paradiso Azzuro, but really struggle with this one. I wish I had an opportunity to try it before buying.

PS: I thought it was the wisteria and red lily being too heady. I did hesitate before buying this because I don’t like the natural scent of these. But people are also voting this vanilla-forward, and I pretty much knew I was averse to strongly vanillic frags. What was I thinking? But there you have it: this frag is for those who appreciate strong vanilla with heady florals. Anyone wants mine? There are parts in it that are attractive to me, but on balance why keep a fragrance you only half-like.

Barbarossa

There’s a lot of notes from the OG Paradiso, but while the og performs outstandingly in hot humid weather, it’s very boring in even a little bit colder weather ( imo cause in hotter weather it becomes sweeter, while in colder months it stays sharp).
Assoluto is gorgeous in cold months thnx to vanilla and florals. To me it stands in the same type of fragrance with ysl Libre. They’re not similar but there’s something in common between them.
This is not the best fragrance, and not a must have but it’s cute and has some twist to it as for designer fragrance.

liat

In my infinite search for worthy cheapies I landed a full bottle of this for a ridiculously low price. It's definitely not something I'd use in the very hot and steamy summer around here, there's a chance I'd smell rotten if I do. But when it's colder, this is such a nice choice!
I get some pepper, jasmine and something herbal which is probably a little patchouli which I deeply enjoy. I like the faint vanilla on my skin which adds a little warmth. All things considered, it's a keeper and a great purchase.

doya

Sandalwood-peppery-vanillish, had to grow on me, but now I find it rich and comforting, It's a mature scent

albatros

After half an hour on the skin it turns into OG Paradiso. If you have Paradiso don't spend your money.

kkk

It was a blinde buy, and wasn't a love at first sight. My husband said " sorry, it's too harsh, pepperish, masculine, just stinky, please don't wear it again"... I think the patchouli and the pepper were very outstanding that time which I do not like eather. It was in August... so I put it on the shelf and was very disappointed...
Now it's November and cold outside, so I picked it up again... now I can't smell patchouli at all (witch is great for me!), just an extremely warm, hugging jasmine- sandalwood- vanilla combo around me. Fantastic! Not offensive at all but remarkable and yammy.
My Man said "you smell just gorgeous, what's that?". 😄
Finally I am in love with it!!!
So you should try it in winter. Cold breeze brings out it's creamy side.

The bottle is so perfect too, like a heavy diamond, fits in your hand and a beauty on your shelf.

Edit: nowadays this is my pick! I love it so much!
Interesting to see if you check the datas above, this is a perfume that is used in every season, even in daytime or in the evening - depends on the user... I agree,this is a multitalent creation.

I've had this and the body lotion for awhile. Both were blind buys. I wore both today and I loved it right away. It is floral and vanilla on me which is a smell that I love. It's a contender for a signature fragrance even though I'll be spraying it like a body spray. That's just my skin because I do that with most fragrances.

Vellocet

This sounds right up my alley! Is it a safe blind buy?

Chira

My baby 🥰 This is for me everything I crave to smell like. It has vanilla and sweetness when I feel I need some sugar in my life. It is definitely floral but just the right amount. And it has fruit that is juicy. And just a dash of pepper for that woody vibe. It reminds me of some vintage frags in a sense that it is just a good blend of everything. It lasts well, it is all seasons, and I received so many compliments wearing it. Still I don't thing everybody gets her. She is a beauty but not for everybody. Definitely different in sea of bubble gum/sweet at hell/sugar patchouli sisters out there. Not that i mind those ether 😂

GUADELUPA

Nice and very feminine scent! At the start, I can smell a lot of pepper, but this pepper is beautiful and is complemented with citrus notes. In the base I can smell sweet caramel accords similar to Good Girl by Carolina Herrera (I also really like Good Girl). Sillage and longevity is twenty four hours. This fragrance is very sophisticated. Do you want pepper? Get it! Tired of pepper and require some sweets? Get it! And the bright red bottle itself implies that the content is very "hot". Not blind buy it, try it first to understand whether you like so much pepper.

chimidoro

Anybody aware of a reformulation?
I owned this around 2016/2017 and am sure it leaned more spiced floral, fruity.
I had felt it would be better in warmer climates so sadly made the mistake of getting rid of it, but I craved it again lately and decided to repurchase. It's still very nice but I'm sure it's perhaps a little softer and maybe leaning more sugary sweetness, fruity.
Where have the dramatic tropical florals and spice gone?
Does the bottle need to breathe or settle some from being received in the post?
I smell kinda like a big sugary papaya. Sounds silly, enjoyable though.
I'm just not so sure it smells the same.... 🌈🌈🌈

Edit to add - Current formula grew on me after a few wears, love it again. Do miss the original formula but this has still got it going on. Great scent, bargain buy.

ScentBliss555

So creamy, floral and spicy. It starts off creamy I imagine from the florals, quickly joined by the spiciness of the pink pepper. The notes move around quite a bit in the middle. Some base notes appear and it becomes dense and slightly powdery from the patchouli and sandalwood. The pink pepper note continues to linger in the heart notes and the passion fruit and vanilla help cut through the thickness of those other notes. Thankfully, the drydown comes full circle and it dries down to a citrusy and creamy scent. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Eveningrose

Imagine you cut open a passion fruit and put some jasmine/ white florals inside . That’s what this smells like . It’s not my favorite scent ever but I would definitely wear this . It is an easy reach . It’s definitely more long lasting on cloths than skin !

SummerRose

BEAUTIFUL!! I've got nothing in my collection like this and I've got quite a few bottles😃

This is my first Robert Cavalli fragrance and I'm stunned by how saucy and feminine this is.

On my skin, I get the peppers, the passionfruit, the jasmine, the vanilla and the sandalwood. WOW. Beautiful. Makes me want to try more fron this line.

The bottle is also gorgeous and befitting of the scent profile 🔥

rihabi

I find the fragrance quite feminine and rich, not girly at all, but just the right amount of femininity with all the florals provided. Sadly, it is not lasting enough for me to enjoy it longer, or it's just my skin type... I struggle to find a perfume that lasts forever on me the last few years, don't know what changed. I've had some couple that smelled really extensive, but after repurchasing some of them, the performance was not the same...

sandradiana

I can't stop wearing it, it's so feminine and classy.
I recommend it if you like fresh florals

AnlisaC

Roberto Cavalli puts out some great fragrances and this is no exception! I love this, Great everyday scent. This is such a beautiful floral with woody notes mixed in….WOW I love it! Paradiso Absoluto is amazing and different that anything I have smelled in this realm of fragrances. Lasts forever on me and it has great sillage also. Highly recommended 10/10 I will buy back up bottles of this one, Gemma di Paradiso is now hard to find!

PS @The smell of roses, has said it “WOW🤩”, she got that right!

The smell of roses

This is absolutely incredible! Wow 🤩. I was not expecting this to smell that good. I have the original Paradiso and I absolutely love that one also.
This is the most beautiful white florals perfume with a nice subtle vanilla undertone, orange zest, and a creamy sandalwood vanilla base. It’s just so smooth and I can sense orange blossom note that is not listed for this perfume.
I don’t find this harsh at all it’s just got this beautiful symphony of notes that blend so wonderfully together. I am the biggest fan of Jasmine/Orange Blossom in a fragrance and this definitely has the most beautiful white flowers. Roberto Cavalli fragrances are such a find and the price is so amazing for the quality that you get. (Great prices on Amazon and at TK Maxx).

Chavezb3

This is very similar to CH Good Girl, in fact, this is what Good Girl should have been. Good Girl could have been a great perfume but they overloaded it with too many random notes. This is how a warm white floral is done. The opening is slightly green but it dries down to an amazing warm, cozy white floral. Some may even think this is to much of a heady floral, to me it’s perfect. This is like beach vacations during winter lol. Nice scent.

jenayca

This was a blind buy and I had high expectations on this one. I just received it and damn I didn't expect it to be THAT powerful! It was strong when I first sprayed it and it still is after a couple of hours. I sprayed it only once, cant put my nose too close to my wrist its so sweet and strong that it makes me a bit nauseous and gives me a headache. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad scent just too strong for me personally.

FragranceFatale

This is absolutely stunning! Wow I was not expecting this to smell that good. I have the original Paradiso and I absolutely love that one also. Not sure why I didn’t expect much I think because I love the original so much. This is The most beautiful floral perfume with a nice subtle vanilla undertone and a creamy sandalwood vanilla base. It’s just so smooth! I don’t find this harsh at all it’s just got this beautiful symphony of notes that blend so wonderfully together. I am the biggest fan of Jasmine in a fragrance and this definitely has the most beautiful Jasmine. Roberto Cavalli fragrances are such a find and the price is so amazing for the quality that you get. Louise Turner did the entire Paradiso line and she’s an amazing perfumer so that is no surprise to me. I am not a big fan of Carolina Herrera good girl and Louise Turner also made that one so anyone being put off by those comments do try this one because I love this one. Honestly highly recommend the entire Paradiso line and especially this one it is just stunning. It lasts well on the skin and it projects nicely it’s not suffocating and you can wear it in warmer weather without it being too much. I feel that this would work all year round day or night it’s a very versatile fragrance in my opinion. Anyone on a budget would do very well looking into Roberto Cavalli fragrances because the quality is amazing for such a small price I do highly recommend all his fragrances.

Hunnynpink

This smells like it could be more expensive than it is, I get sweet jasmine, spicy, aromatic, fresh and woody notes. there's a bitterness underneath the sweetness... this vibes slightly masculine on my skin sometimes...light sweet musk

Aiga1

Sweet, sexy floral, took me by surprise.

Amanda Palagina

Absolutely beautiful, so many complements, very sexy smell and smooth dry down , excellent value for money and lovely bottle ❤️🥰

perfumeaddict97

I like this perfume. It's a perfect, sexy and refreshing summer scent to wear on a really warm day. I definitely cannot see myself wearing this in colder weather, as the summer heat really brings out the beauty of it. This would be nice to wear on a vacation, especially during the night time.

This perfume is sharp and fresh yet smooth and creamy. I think the sharpness comes from the pink pepper and citrus fruits; then the vanilla, wood and cashmere give it a nice smoothness. You could describe this scent as a fresh woody spicy sexy scent.
It also reminds me of Carolina Herrera Good Girl. They're not the same, but you wouldn't need both. However, the CH Good Girl has more chocolatey/nutty notes than this one does. I prefer this.

It has good performance as well.. it's definitely not the most powerful perfume regarding performance, but still very good.
Azzuro to my nose still comes first out of the Paradiso range, but this comes second.

fgamz

I think I got a bad bottle. This to me smells like watermelon crush you get from boost juice. I didn't like it. :(

VioletOrchid

I’m shocked at how amazing are RC perfumes! This one is no exception. Blooming flowers with vanilla and a fresh woody twist. I can’t stop sniffing it!
This one redeemed my disappointment with Dior absolutely blooming.

ezpz

This was a blind buy.
First, the bottle is gorgeous! The scent, though, surprised me. I don't think it matches the bottle. It was very sharp, almost nose burning, in the opening. About 30 minutes in and it is still sharp to me. Must be the pepper and patchouli combo. I do get some hollow, watery jasmine and lily, as well. I don't mind the scent, but I don't think this will deepen on my skin. I don't get any vanilla or softness.

To me this is very similar to Just by Cavalli. They share more than just a little DNA, they could be sisters. I don't think you need both.

Someone mentioned similarity to Angel Muse and I do see that, actually. The opening sharpness that lingers is reminiscent of Muse, but this one is way way less sweet.
EDIT: Ok, this one is a fail for me. It's been an hour and it just isn't changing at all. Still sharp, still weird, still watery and kind of making my stomach upset. Gonna go scrub it off now.
I would not say this is a safe blind buy. You have to really like sharp pepper and patchouli which dominates over the other more subtle notes.

sparklyunicorn

I love this one! I feel like this is a lot more modern than the original Roberto Cavalli perfume (which it is somewhat similar to). This one is very floral and the dry down is deep and sexy. I love this one, and I feel that this is going to get ALOT of wear from me this summer. Perfect for all year-round in my opinion!

Vibi

Well, I like it, but I should not have blind bought it. To my nose, this smells exactly like Angel Muse EdT (the pink one) which I already own and occasionaly wear, So now I have two almost identical smelling perfumes in my collection and both are pretty long-lasting. Damn.

dearaari

Very sharp and spicy. I got this bottle from a lady who said she sprayed it twice and was put off. I can see why. It’s an odd spicy floral and you have to love florals to enjoy this perfume. I’ve grown out of love but it was a stunner when I first got it. Also it does something to my nose, must be the pink pepper. I don’t reach for it as much anymore.

Fraghag7

I just received this perfume and it's so nice! It's kind of like a warm tropical floral scent, more vanilla in the dry down. I keep getting whiffs of myself and that's when I smell the vanilla! Even though it's December I'll be wearing this beauty any season! This has a slight mature feel to it but maybe that's just because I don't typically wear florals. If you like florals or summer scents then this is a safe buy. I wish this had more spice to it but I'm in love either way.

Ashlowery14

This was all florals on me from the initial spray to the dry down. Only lasted maybe 30 minutes on my skin and then it was gone. Would not recommend.

gmr1967

A very flowery but fresh fragrance, the beginning is very "vitaminic" with notes of grapefruit, lemon and bergamot.
The heart with floral notes is felt and it is the part that remains most on my skin '. The note of patchouli (my beloved !!!!) unfortunately I don't hear it. But the sweet bottom that gradually emerges is felt. What about ... a good perfume, not demanding, suitable for those who work in the office or in any case carry out activities in public places. A fragrance that does not emerge annoyingly but, on the contrary, is very pleasant.

Dabarefootbombshell

I have all 4 of the Paradiso line and this one is my favorite. It really projects and has a glamourous femininity that suits one of Roberto Cavalli's fabulous resort style maxi dresses. This line is not given enough love in my opinion. The Flankers are all great and well thought out and the bottles are heavy and beautiful. I am not a back up bottle kind of gal but when/if you see these on a steal at a fragrance discounter grab one up. If you like sweet scents you won't be disappointed. My mother is a vanilla addict so she loves Gemma Di Paradiso. This red one is very similar except it has a pepper note instead of going powder so it's SEXY!!!

bel.gravia

My kind of paradise.
Especially after I have just smelled the other flanker of Paradiso, Azzurro.
Paradiso Assoluto is the kind of fragrance I imagine myself would create had I been a perfumer. Sexy, wild, intriguing and floral, honestly, applause to Louise Turner on this flanker!
It is indeed veeeeery Cavalli in its character. Comes somehow close to the original Cavalli edp, the signature. I suppose it is the vanilla in it. Assoluto is absolute heaven goodness, it's the type of fragrance that is annoying about how amazing it is, you know what I mean?
The vanilla, oh by beloved note especially in autumn and winter, is the star. Then I can distinguish lilies, pink pepper and patchouli. Yes, the combo that always gets me head over heels: sweet patchouli. Unlike its sister, Azzurro, Assoluto is not exactly a holiday destination perfume but an event perfume. If you are going to the theatre, on an expensive date, to shop on the high street, wear it!

panda-inc

I just received this perfume today. What can I say, this perfume is gorgeous. For the cheap price, this perfume smells fantastic. Delicious vanilla on my skin, mixed with slight sweet peppery note. Uhhmm, wow. This is a gem.

missk

Roberto Cavalli is an underrated brand. For easy-to-wear, inexpensive and easily accessible fragrances, Roberto Cavalli ticks all the boxes. Paradiso Assoluto is a sensual, creamy floral with zesty citrus and a smooth vanillic base.

Paradiso Assoluto is my personal favourite from the Paradiso line. It's very sexy and feminine on the skin and has excellent longevity. It begins with lush, creamy jasmine, sweet wisteria and a dash of bright citrus notes and pink pepper. As the fragrance develops, warmer accords such as sandalwood, vanilla and cashmere shine through in this composition. I can detect a subtle hint of juicy passionfruit in the base which keeps this fragrance fun and flirtatious.

This entire line is very affordable and has fantastic projection for the price. In photos the bottle does appear rather tacky, however, in-person the ruby-red bottle is quite appealing.

Paradiso Assoluto, unlike other fragrances from the Paradiso line, is not as 'tropical' smelling nor as crisp. With this in mind, I would recommend wearing this fragrance on a mild Summer's evening or during the cooler seasons as the floral notes are quite heady.

I think it's safe to say that if you liked Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum or enjoy vanillic florals in general, you'll more than likely enjoy Paradiso Assoluto. A great fragrance geared towards a mature woman.

AriannaO

I use many samples of soaps from herbalist and I can say without doubt that after 4hours and half from spraying this one, it tastes of spicy sandalwood,with a hint of patchouli. I read people writing it tastes of musk , no it doesn't, musk is different!
Actually, I had a soap of Tiare' and it smells of that mixed with sandalwood.. very nice but not for me, too sweet maybe it's the vanilla that however mixed with other things just smells of sweet and can't discern it among other ingredients

raiza1990

This is a very pretty perfume. It is mostly vanilla with a floral touch and a very elegant luminosity to it. It is very well blended, the vanilla is not overly sweet, the flowers are soft, everything is very pleasant.
I am surprised this didn't get more praise, it is really very nice. Sophisticated and relaxed.
Projects well for one hour more or less than turns into a skin scent.
I am positively surprised.
Final note: 7,5/10

ChocolatesAndHoney

Sensual, exotic, spicy. When I smell this perfume, I imagine evenings in an expensive beach resort on a Caribbean beach. Warming sunlight bathing the beach in a deep red, cool drinks, hot sand under your feet. An elegant fragrance that transports an exotic aura without resorting to artificial fruit aromas or "classic" tropical notes (coconut, frangipani, mango, etc.).
The pepper creates a spicy opening, which receives a lovely touch by the blue rain. The highlight of the perfume is lovely warm, vanilla-flowery without becoming too gourmand.

masako_30

My flattering praise to this perfume that encompasses all the boldness, charm and seduction of pink pepper.
To be worn like an evening spring breeze carrying wisteria twists, let the winter be a vague remembrance of the mind.
If every fragrance had the right own season to sublimate, I would soon do well to think about wearing Paradiso Assoluto.

preslavapopova

Right after spraying Paradiso Assoluto is straight up citrus sharp scent - I feel detectable grapefruit, lemon and bergamot notes, a bit spiciness from the pink pepper: at this point it feels almost unisex (my nose doesn't detect any wisteria here or later). Up to 15 minutes after spraying the scent goes softer, milder and the unisex feel is totally gone - there is white flower explosion: deep, intense and strong wild jasmine and little bit of barely detectable red lily. Perfumes that have strong white flower notes aren't for everyone's liking and you must like white flowers to enjoy this one. In the base Paradiso Assoluto has strong wood feel: a lot of sandalwood, a lot of patchouli, a lot of cashmere and a tiny bit of vanilla. Sandalwood makes the scent warmer and it gives me association with warm, sun kissed, tanned skin on a tropical island and the wind is bringing smell of white, creamy and fragrant flowers.
Patchouli here is gathered and soft, almost mild and it doesn't feel heavy, damp and overwhelming. I think that cashmere adds that soft feeling to the scent and it makes it so unique, compared to the rest white flower based perfumes. There is a bit of vanilla in this scent, but it's barely detectable and it doesn't irritate me - I hate vanilla so much and it makes me feel sick whenever I smell/taste it, but the vanilla in here isn't the classic sweet vanilla, it's more of a woody type of vanilla, that is nicely paired with the white flowers. It is in the right amount to add some sweetness to the scent.
Paradiso Assoluto definitely has intense development: sharp citrus opening, followed by strong white flowers explosion and in the base – white, creamy flowers with wood suspicion. Main notes I feel in this perfume are jasmine, sandalwood and cashmere, with a little bit of barely noticeable vanilla. For me Paradiso Assoluto is really interesting and complex, absolutely feminine scent. Paradiso Assoluto gives me tropical associations - for me is carefree and vacancy suitable scent, which I can't wait to wear during my summer vacation and until then I'll enjoy it in the city.
I really like the bottle - it is so pretty & sophisticated to me.Longevity on me is enormous - straight up more than 12 hours of intensive sillage.
I am really excited to try the Gemma di Paradiso flanker as well.

bronni666

this fragrance doesnt last very long on me. such a shame because its an enticing scent, sultry and provocative. i really like it but i cant smell it on me and i like to be able to cos i wear fragrance for me, not for everyone else.

Gourmandlover

Creamy white floral, very nice. Just after I sprayed it I said to myself; you don't need this, it's nice but you already have very good creamy, velvety and smooth white floral perfumes. But then I thought, this is different, I think it's the pink pepper that gives it a lovely spicy twist. It really works well together with all the other notes. Now I can't get it out of my mind and will purchase a bottle of it when I see it for a good price. Performance seems to be good too. A few years ago I couln't really appreciate perfumes with dominant white floral notes, now I love them. How is that possible?!

I really like this. I purchased a bottle this week - it smells spicy, floral and warm, just like a garden in the humid summertime. It is not simple, nor overly complex. Somewhere in the middle. There is enough complexity for the scent to be interesting and to make you want a bit more.

Edit: the more I smell this, the more I like it. I've worn it many times now. I will definitely purchase a back up bottle!

Edit 2. This is so beautiful. A very underrated fragrance. My husband even commented that I smell gorgeous. (He never comments!)

This fragrance reminds me of Amarige by Givenchy.

Fleur divina

I find this very tropical fruity when sprayed intially. Drydown is more floral vanilla than fruity. Lasts long enough for me and sillage is moderate.

Really lovely, it came on like fresh spring and then dries down to a powdery musk....very unique on my skin, I love it,
Lasts 3-4 hours which is very good for me.

This scent lingers between summer and fall, day and night. I can't place it in one category. The pepper in the opening is very exiting and lively. The jasmin note is the strongest and it follows soon after. Most white florals are light and clean but Jasmin is also deep and sensual. Both aspects are well preserved in this perfume. The vanilla is there but not striking to my nose. It's complimenting the jasmin in a warm and engaging way. I like how the sandalwood adds a nice, solid base while the patchouli creates a daring edge. This edge goes very well with the pepper! You could say this scent has many faces. It's not fruity and tropical at all in my opinion. I would describe it as oriental.

This is an enjoyable, smoky combination of flowers, vanilla and pink pepper. Upon spraying it's mostly the pink pepper that I smell, which gives the perfume it's smoky, aromatic vibe. I find the sillage to be perfect, not overbearing or loud but someone standing in close proximity to you would be able to smell it. Longevity surpasses 6 hours on me.

As the scent progresses the Jasmin comes to the center stage, yet it doesn't take away the spotlight of any of the other notes. Also I usually dislike lillies so I'm very happy that I can barely distinguish them. All the different notes blend together really well.

The drydown for me consists of mostly vanilla... The vanilla drydown strongly reminds me of the drydown of Diesel's Loverdose, which I love. I would wear this on windy or rainy summer days or in the fall. It also works very well for nights. Personally I don't find it very tropical either, it smells more aromatic to me.

Overall I really really like this perfume. So much that I'm considering getting a full bottle of it somewhere in the future. If I keep wearing it enough then this might even become a love for me.

Beautiful tropical scent, not kinda fruity, but kinda more mature and feminine. Sweet pefume, it smells like a holiday evening when you go out strolling after having your shower and puting up your luxurious bodylotion after spending a wonderful day at the beach, wearing your oils and suntan creams.

Just got it today and I really like it !! Assoluto is to me what I wanted Elie Saab resort 2017 to be! It is a warm floral, it has a hint of exotic., but it isn't a fruity tropical scent, it is grown up, warm, sensuous, and at the same time fresh and not overly anything ..I detect the wisteria, which isn't like overly floral if it makes sense, it isn't that peppery either.., just a bright floral...it really manages to smell great without being boring! I am a big fan of Cavalli, their perfumes are always interesting, they don't seem to follow the trends...Assoluto isn't as bitterly aromatic as Paradiso, it is more rounded, feminine., ta hint of sweetness in the base, smooth too.amd casual...lovely!!

I really like this one. It's sweet but not too much so. It's tropical and fruity without being overbearing. The jasmine and pink pepper blend nicely together.

Mod.fresh and sickly sweet,Very similar to CH good girl but not my type,I prefer Roberto essenza.

This is interesting. It reminds me with perfumey vintage scents, but with the modern amounts of sweetness added!

For the first time I used it, I found the initial opening full of passion fruit, as well as wisteria (too coconutty and green in a wild manner!), but then the perfume had shown a soft-spicy and a multi-floral vibe. And then "sweet" vanilla and a green touch (obviously the patchouli) bloomed and linked the smell of the flowers bouquet in a nice dry-down, which I consider to be fresh.

A nice choice for the spring and summer, although this is far from today's typical crowd-pleasing picks. The sillage and longevity are perfect.

It's very good and I really like it, but for a "paradise" this should have been much more creative, more uplifting, more attractive, less vanillic, and less wild-green.

More fruity than the original, I prefer the original.

Drydown: metallic jasmine and lily. Imagine Alien Thierry Mugler without the Oud and the Amber. I liked it a lot, and probably will purchase after I finish Mandarino Di Amalfi Tom Ford.

I saw Paradiso Assoluto sitting alone...nobody in the Roberto Cavalli section...and I was like...I'm spraying you on myself liberally now...

Starts rottenish and fresh at the same time. I got the pink pepper, the spicyness it gives, but it doesn't really settle. Didn't understand the wisteria, new note for my nose I guess. Doesn't bother in the drydown either. Good balance between the florals that show up and the vanilla. Just enough vanilla and not gourmand.

Patchouli and sandalwood do not play major role in here, but they are rather tricky; seems that they just intensify jasmine and lily. Furry and fuzzy and smoked at times; but just enough for a summer type perfume.

And then it's just metal. Metallicy jasmines with lily, very well blended together. The overall blend is good too... Intoxicating as it develops and it's just oooh yummy, bloody yummy! A wrist crack.

Projection is good for the first two hours, after quite some time it stays more close to the skin. It surpassed my six hour limit of wear time. Easily worn in winter as well.

A yes from me.

As usually... It was a blind buy. This time a good try!!! A very good one. That flowery softness is very well balanced with a spicy note. Just as much as you would wish not to get drowned by the red pepper. Perfect!
This is a type of a scent you would like to use in late autumn or early spring days.

It's a familiar smelling, nice scent.
There's floral scent of jasmine, spicy scent from pink pepper and sandalwood and sweetness from vanilla.
I think it's the best from Paradiso line.
Very good, a little bit too ordinary, but not too masculine or bitter as the other fragrances from that line.
I'm glad to try this quite nice scent on a terribly rainy and cold day like today. It reminds me of tropical place or summer/spring.
