Launched in 2023 by Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector and crafted by perfumer Shadi Samra, Trouble In Paradise is a bold and complex composition that juxtaposes the sweetness of tropical fruits with the earthy depths of leather and animalic notes. The fragrance opens with a burst of mango and bergamot before diving into rich layers of cognac, cardamom, and rum, creating an atmosphere of indulgence and warmth. As it settles on the skin, caramel and violet add a touch of sweetness, while oud, amber, sandalwood, and moss anchor the composition with a sultry and woody base.
