When I receive my 2x Intense Prada Paradox I noticed one smelt like complete alcohol and wrote straight away to Palermo Company. They were quick to tell me they have stricked testing on all bottles. I have since gotten friends to test the two and there is a huge difference in the two. They were quick to tell me I would have to pay for postage to get a replacement. That's not what I wanted, I was just giving helpful feedback as one smelt of strong alcohol while the other smelt really good. How I know is I have the original Intense Paradox here and was looking for a cheaper alternative. I think I will stick to originals in future especially as I have read a similar review on there reviews- that one smelt of strong alcohol. So two of us can't be wrong.
