Customer Reviews
* Strong complex blend of woody, fruit, herbal, spice, floral and powder aromas
* Hybrid cologne that expertly blends woody,fruit and fougere fragrance DNAs
* Drier, woodier and denser than Al Nashama; the more "professional" version of the same fragrance DNA
* Good performer
* Unisex
* Great for older users
* Good for formal and professional occasions
* Cool bottle
* Good QPR value
* Fair price
* May lean a bit too masculine for some female users
* Not good for younger users who enjoy modern fresh and sweet fragrances
* Presentation really doesn't match the sophistication of the fragrance
* Competing with its own company's Al Nashama release
Lattafa's Vintage Radio is a bit of an anomaly. It is a relatively new clone of Initio's Paragon released in 2023 but it now has competition from Lattafa's own newer 2024 release Al Nashama w. Having no experience with Paragon, I can only just Vintage Radio on its own merits. However, I can also judge it against Al Nashama since I own it as well.
Vintage Radio is a very strong and complex aroma. It blends woody, fruit, herbal, spice, floral and powder aromas. It is noticeably drier than Al Nashama. Where Al Nashama puts the emphasis on the sweet, fruit and amber notes, Vintage Radio is denser and emphasizes the woody and herbal notes more. If both are clones of Initio's Paragon, then Vintage Radio is the more "professional" and grown up of the two. Al Nashama is the sassier and younger version.
This is great for older users and when used for a formal or professional occasion. Despite similar notes, the fragrances are NOT redundant to each other and prove that changing the proportion of notes can give you a completely different fragrance. It is completely unisex but where Al Nashama might lean too feminine for some users due to its sweet fruit, this may lean too masculine for some users due to the dry woods and herbs. It's a good performer and the presentation is good with a cool looking bottle. The presentation for Al Nashama, however, is much better. Vintage Radio's presentation invokes some kind of nostalgia that the fragrance itself does not. Not sure what the thinking was here. This is no way detracts from the quality of the fragrance itself. Recommended.
Muy agradable aroma, completamente unisex
The opening iced plum note in this fragrance is absolutely amazing. Probably one of if not the best blind buys I've ever made to be honest. It's a very unique and lasts so long. I've never smelled paragon and can't say how close this is as a clone but I don't care because it smells fantastic.
As always, fast shipping and well-packed. It has a gorgeous scent and is long-lasting. Highly recommend it even (with blind buy!).
Smells so good, I'm very happy to add it to my collection
