Paragon aims to speak to the soul as much as to the skin. It brings together two materials traditionally burnt to purify the air, palo santo and white sage, around an aromatic lavender and a burst of bergamot.
Black pepper awakens the composition, then sandalwood and agarwood anchor it in a soothing, deep woody base. A fragrance from the Hedonist collection.

Paragon in detail
Initio Parfums Privés, whose every creation is unisex and produced in France, places Paragon in its Hedonist collection. The house wants it to speak to the soul as much as to the skin: a fragrance of fullness, built around two smudging plants, palo santo and white sage.
The house publishes main notes without tiers. Bergamot opens the composition, joined by aromatic sage, here white sage, and lavender. Palo santo, a holy wood traditionally burnt, brings a pale smoke; black pepper awakens the whole. Sandalwood and oud, or agarwood, anchor it in a soothing base.
Paragon suits spring, autumn and winter, by day as well as by night. Its pale smoke makes it calm rather than heavy.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Interlude Man by Amouage shares bergamot, oud and sandalwood; Rehab, from the same Hedonist collection, brings together bergamot, lavender, pepper and sandalwood; Decision 42 by Amouage pairs bergamot and sandalwood in a smokier register.
