First look at Emma Watson being the face of Prada's fragrance 'Paradoxe'


According to ifragranceofficial, the frangrance will be available on Prada's website on August 26 "in three bottle sizes 30ml, 50ml, 90ml and 100 ml Refillable bottle Eau de Parfum."


The philosophy behind Paradoxe’s creation can be summed up in two words, “reinvention” and “consolidation”. Prada wants to reintroduce signature notes from a brand new perspective and to find the perfect harmony sensuality and intensity. Evidently, it is not just quality they are after; they have set their eyes on a more innovative approach with Paradoxe.

To achieve this, Prada focused on the composition of notes in this fragrance to strike an equal balance between the floral and ambery notes that are often associated with femininity and the dominating presence of Neroli bud extraction, capturing the flower’s fullest dimension. This will be Prada’s first-time attempt at Neroli bud extraction.

The house aims at reinventing sensuality with the release of Paradoxe thanks to Ambrofix, a bio-converted amber, which will intensify this sense of warmth. Speaking of intensity, Prada revealed that a new revolutionary musk molecule, the Serenolide, will be used in the composition and it is promised to guarantee an intense yet subtle, comfortable, and easily noticeable trail.

when did she have short hair recently? did we see her in candids like that this year?

Anonymous said...

I’m already annoyed at how many people are going to ask if she’s now done with Kering because they don’t understand what an independent director is

I was shot down the last time i said it but i was pretty sure at Bafta she was wearing hair extensions to cover up short hair....but this fringe looks like its from 2018 though?...so strange maybe its a campaign that is planned years ago? or in the last few days since we saw her she cut her hair for this final set of photos?....or its photoshop lol


Eden what do you think? :)

Eden said...

XD Unless someone wants to explain again, I'll search when I'll have time for a past comment explaining.

Eden said...

Maybe it's a wig?

Anonymous said...

That's weird. She has long hair in the Paris photoshoot image. Maybe the short hair was photoshopped on for... reasons.

Anonymous said...

I hope we see her in candids again soon and if she has short hair suddenly it will prove the final photo shoot was just a few days ago, maybe back in May she was just shooting behind-the-scenes info about the product?

Anonymous said...

um yeah id swear that was her 2018 golden globes bangs haha ( i think that was the event?)

Anonymous said...

Wigs or photoshop is the answer here imo maybe its a mockup before the true final images

If we see Emma with short hair in public soon i will eat my words though xD

Anonymous said...

Aha, so it’s perfume/beauty (which apparently is happening - rumor is Prada is going into skincare etc.) and not fashion.

Anonymous said...

This seems to be all announced in very low-key way maybe it's not final images of the ad campaign? the person who firts shared it seems to talk about it like its rumour? or im wrong?
i'd expect emma to have a cover shoot from maybe vogue again and reveal all this info then? but maybe not I dunno

Anonymous said...

I’m leaning on mock-up that has gone out to places and that’s leaked, as no official announcement

Anonymous said...

Leaked mock-up

Anonymous said...

i dont think she cut it in like the last few days after her last pap pics and then went back to paris to finish work on the ad, just all the work seemed to be done months ago with the behind-the-scenes video we got and stuff so yeah not sure

Anonymous said...

I think it was 2018 Oscars with the baby bangs actually?

Eden do you know?

Eden said...

Golden Globes ;)

Anonymous said...

Emma face like the angle of it reminds me of 2011 0r 2012 short hair shoot she did... so i agree a lot of photoshop for a stand-in image before the final one is going on here

"This seems to be all announced in very low-key way maybe it's not final images of the ad campaign?"

the news seems to be like 12hrs old but no news sites are covering it so this does appear to be a leak before real info comes out

Anonymous said...

Eden do you have a link to the full set of this shoot here

https://i.pinimg.com/474x/05/87/12/0587126610eaa47cd4cc9bf5df4f8f7f.jpg

i think there's one shot in there that's the exact angle used in the new shot which makes me think its a series of old Emma pics cut together for a mock-up image in photoshop like others say until the final finished shoot is ready...or im just crazy xD

Eden said...

Nah, the eyebrows are completely different.

Anonymous said...

they can photoshop eyebrowsas well like i think they took the angle of the face from 2011 old shoots then the bangs from 2018 and so on

Eden said...

I haven't seen a single photo of Emma in this angle personally.

Anonymous said...

I agree with others, its likely placeholder image companies do this all the time

Anonymous said...

I need to find the old full shoot to be sure, i think there is one like this angle where she kinda has her hand under her chin? but its hard to track down one specific image from this shoot lol

Anonymous said...

gonna be funny when we see her with short hair like next week and this photoshop conspiracy falls apart lol the fandom is so bored we are even doing stuff like this convo ahhaha


emma pls show the final ad already we are so starving out here xd

For anyone who is a sci-fi fan she sorta looks to me like a cross between Spock (Star Trek) and Anna (V).
Which in this instance is not a compliment. Can't say I'm a fan of that look.

Anonymous said...

It looks like a wig. Exactly like Millie Bobby Brown had for Stranger Things season 4. There are short haired wigs, you know! We did see a few new pap pics with her longer hair, so this feels like it must be a wig.

guess i was thinking of something like this one but nah its not right sorry for argue with you eden lol

Anonymous said...

I think we did see Emma with baby bangs at some point over the last year!

just i remember there were comments under a post here where people were like 'omg why did she go to baby bangs look again" lol

eden do you remember that? When we saw emma with this fringe somewhere maybe from mid 2021 until march 2022?

dunno but i just remember being in convo like that here talking about her fringe changing again hahah

Anonymous said...

it is a wig, clearly.

Don't search old photos because her face looks older than the other years, less child, (don't tell this in a bad way) i notice this is her facial expression just now.

Anonymous said...

Yup a wig they can easily hide Emma real hair which was thin and a bit shorter near the start of 2022 and some photoshop will hide anything out place

Anonymous said...

I remember the comments about her little fringe, but this was in January, in back to hogwarts, but clearly this is other fringe.

hmmm anon i vaguely remember baby bangs coming up again but i don't recall if it was due to some candid pics from recent years or not

sorry but damn sapphic feelings in over drive at these old pics omg XD

short haired Emma will revive the fandom :D

Anonymous said...

Maybe the short hair-long hair thing is supposed to be thematic, since it's called Paradoxe.

Found this from another angle. That looks like a wig.

well with that hair cut maybe emma as Joan of Arc rumour for ridley scott can become true lol

Eden said...

Please let's not call this a rumour XD It's a fanart. There are a crap ton being posted on Twitter these days, I don't understand what's happening.

Anonymous said...

Not very impressed with photo or, the short hair. Like someone said earlier, she looks like someone from a StarTrex episode. Now, if they had used one of the brilliant photo's from the "Reunion" then yes. In my humble opinion, she is much more attractive in real-life and there are much better photo's of her around.

i wish it was real haircut and not a wig though

Ridley Scott is very into France atm he also directs Napoleon film currently if joan of arc is next people will wonder if he has a French obsession suddenly hahaha

Anonymous said...

lol this is so random conversation as Joan of arc is trending on Twitter now?? wtf xd

Eden said...

"would french mind if emma played a famous french character though? i want to know what you think of that eden hehe"

Unless the movie is in French, I doubt they'll care. But people were whining that Emma wasn't French yet was playing Belle even though none of the main cast was French, so I'm guessing there would be some more whining if Emma was to play a real French person one day.

I'm with the perso n who said this bet we'll see ads for paradox e with short and long hair unless she's cut it since being seen with that trainer guy. Normally advertisement Photoshop are done months before release
And Eden did you get m y Twitter question

Anonymous said...

Emma was born in France and lived there first 5 years of her life and was technically a french citizen so its fine probably anyone who complain need to relax lol

Eden said...

"And Eden did you get m y Twitter question"

Was it a mention or DM?

"Emma was born in France and lived there first 5 years of her life and was technically a french citizen so its fine probably anyone who complain need to relax lol"

That's the thing. "was". Not good enough for people who are probably not French themselves either XD

And how can the French whine about her playing a French character she's a French citizen or don't they know that

Eden said...

"And how can the French whine about her playing a French character she's a French citizen or don't they know that"

I don't think it was French people whining. There were probably some, but most weren't. And Emma was French but she only ever called herself British so I guess she's not anymore.

Eden said...

Did you send me the message publicly or privately? I don't find any message from GodofThunder.

Someone should tell them that Joan was murdered at 18... sure, actores are usually older than their characters, but she's old enough to play Joan's mother xD

Unless it's a series for CW.

emma can look very youthful even now with right make up so no issue lol

It was mostly American youtubers who complain about it not being realistic emma playing a french lady...in a movie about magic and where the main prince is a beast guy with horns lol Emma will be more french than any of the people complaining ever will be xD

Anonymous said...

Any Joan of Arc movie is going to get immediately compared to The Passion of Joan of Arc. We all love Emma, but Ridley Scott isn't casting her to play that.

Anonymous said...

Eden, you think she commercializes herself to bring more awareness to her charitable causes or that it‘s just for the money and to be in the news to not lose any offers for acting roles? Depends on her personality, I guess?

Anonymous said...

Remember the photoshoot with the horse in Mexico, aka Eden's pfp. Do you think that's for Prada as well?

immortalbliss said...

Oh wow.. I didn't want to believe it! For short hair, this style suits her best, I feel

Eden said...

"Eden, you think she commercializes herself to bring more awareness to her charitable causes or that it‘s just for the money and to be in the news to not lose any offers for acting roles? Depends on her personality, I guess?"

Both? Neither? Maybe she was offered and had free time so she was like "why not". There's no way to know until someone asks her.
