What do reviewers say about Paragon and Ani?
If you want safe, look elsewhere. Paragon hits hard from the first spray and never apologizes for it. That said, the drydown on skin is genuinely beautiful.Paragon
Ani doesn't whisper. Cardamom and rose open with intention, then the vanilla takes over like it's been waiting all day. Sweet, yes, but there's a sharpness underneath that keeps it from being polite.Ani
