INITIO Paragon
Woody, aromatic, creamy, spicy, and earthy.
Key Fragrance Notes: Bergamot, White Sage, Lavender, Palo Santo, Black Pepper, Sandalwood, Agarwood
Paragon opens with bergamot, white sage, and lavender for an aromatic brightness before black pepper adds dry energy. Palo santo becomes the defining woody material through the center, bringing a smooth resinous quality that connects the herbs to the base. Sandalwood adds creaminess while agarwood provides darker depth underneath. The result is grounded and polished rather than smoky or aggressive, balancing aromatic freshness, spice, palo santo, smooth woods, and oud in a substantial Extrait de Parfum.

Summary
Summary
INITIO Paragon is a woody-aromatic Extrait de Parfum centered on bergamot, white sage, lavender, palo santo, black pepper, sandalwood, and agarwood. Bergamot and lavender bring brightness and calm aromatic freshness, while white sage adds a dry herbal character. Black pepper sharpens the composition, palo santo gives it a distinctive smoky-woody tone, and sandalwood softens the base around the deeper agarwood. The result is aromatic, woody, creamy, spicy, and grounded rather than sweet. It suits shoppers looking for a refined woody fragrance with herbs, palo santo, and smooth sandalwood depth.
