In-Depth Summary:
Pierre Cardin introduced Paradoxe in Europe in 1983, followed by the United States in 1984. Its name means “paradox,” fitting a floral leather chypre that sets bright aldehydes and citrus against lush flowers, moss, woods, leather and animalic warmth. Serge Mansau carried that sense of contrast into the wheel-shaped flacon made by Pochet et du Courval.
This offering is the 1/4 fl. oz Paradoxe Parfum bottle shown in Serge Mansau's wheel-shaped flacon, containing the original formulation.
