Performance & WearModerate, 6–8 hours
Performance & Wear Guide
- Longevity: 12–15 hours on skin. Extrait concentration extends wearing significantly.
- Projection: Strong in the first hour, settling to moderate by hour 3. Projects confidently without being aggressive.
- Sillage: Moderate to strong but refined.
- Best Seasons: Fall and winter. Too heavy for warm weather unless applied very conservatively.
- Occasions: Evening events, formal occasions, cool-weather wear. Not for daytime summer office use.
- Application Tips: 2 sprays maximum. Oud amplifies on body heat. Chest application works better than wrists for darker fragrances of this type.
- Dry-Down Arc: Spicy opening transitions to an oud/amber heart by 30–45 minutes. The dry-down settles to a warm resinous base that persists for hours.

Details
Paragon is Initio's Extrait de Parfum unisex masterwork — a sophisticated composition built around fig, jasmine, and patchouli with significant complexity from the Extrait concentration. The composition reads polished, slightly mysterious, and definitively niche — the kind of fragrance that demonstrates what Initio can do when the brief is craftsmanship over signature character.
For collectors who admire Initio's house style and want the most refined expression in the catalog, Paragon is one of the most-recommended picks. Strong evening unisex with exceptional staying power.
