Despite winning Love Island back in 2022, it seems Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is ready for another attempt at love, after making a surprising return to the villa for Love Island All Stars this week. For her dramatic entrance, Ekin-Su made sure she was looking – and smelling – her best, as she opted to wear Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum for her return.
Everyone knows a great perfume can not only make you feel more confident, but it’s also one of the first things people notice about you. Smells can also trigger certain emotions or feelings, so picking the right perfume for the moment was a major decision to make.

As a die-hard fan of the Prada Paradoxe fragrance – it easily ranks in my top three perfumes of all time – I can confirm that Ekin-Su made a great choice. It has a floral, woody scent that’s both sweet and sultry, and has a really powerful, feminine feel to it; just what you need to head into the villa.
The top note is neroli flowers which give it a crisp fresh scent, whilst the main heart note is amber, for a sensual and warm depth. Finally Paradoxe’s base notes of musk gives it some extra dimension and depth, stopping it from being too light or sweet.
