The story behind the bottle.
Paradis Exotique, launched in 2023 by Navitus Parfums and crafted by perfumer Olaf Larsen, is an ode to the lush, vibrant essence of exotic lands. The fragrance opens with a burst of Sicilian mandarin, grapefruit, and Calabrian bergamot, creating an immediate sense of freshness and brightness. This citrusy beginning gives way to a heart rich in Indian ginger and ylang-ylang, adding a spicy warmth and floral sweetness that interplay beautifully. The base notes of tonka bean, virginian cedar, Madagascar vanilla, and sandalwood provide depth and a lingering warmth, grounding the composition with earthy and sweet accords.
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points; the citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour. The ginger and ylang-ylang in the heart will carry through the day, while the vanilla and sandalwood base ensures a warm finish that lingers on skin.

German discipline, Colombian warmthOlaf Larsen describes himself as 100% German through his father and 100% Colombian through his mother — a blend he credits with combining northern pragmatism (sharpened by his training in Industrial Engineering) with South American warmth.
