Description
Paragon, launched in 2022 by Initio Parfums Privés, occupies a unique position between incense and contemporary woody-spicy genres. The bergamot, white sage and lavender opening is clean, aromatic and immediately centering — as though the wearer is stepping into a private ritual space.
The heart revolves around Palo Santo, a sacred South American wood: bright, sweet-lemony and subtly musky, it functions as the perfume's spiritual axis. Black pepper adds a sharp, sparkling edge that prevents the sacred from becoming solemn, while plum introduces a dark, fleshy counterpoint.
Creamy sandalwood and agarwood in the base create a plush, skin-warm finish that is simultaneously intimate and long-lasting. The 30% perfume oil concentration typical of extraits ensures exceptional projection and longevity.
As a wholesale perfume, Paragon is well-suited to specialty fragrance retailers, niche boutiques and curated assortments where provenance and quality storytelling matter as much as the scent itself.
