Memoirs of a Perfume Collector Trouble in Paradise

Trouble in Paradise by Memoirs of a Perfume Collector
A sultry escape wrapped in golden hour light, Trouble in Paradise is a bold, boozy, and seductive fragrance that captures the tension between luxury and liberation. It’s a journey through heat and hedonism—where exotic sweetness meets primal depth.

Scent Profile

The opening greets you with sun-drenched mango, zesty bergamot, and the rich warmth of cognac, spiced softly with cardamom. It’s instantly transportive—like sipping a tropical cocktail on a private island at dusk. As the heart unfolds, waves of velvety rum and sticky caramel swirl around supple leather and violet, creating a smooth and slightly gourmand center. This is where the paradise starts to misbehave. The base is deep and unapologetically sensual, combining earthy moss, creamy sandalwood, and a transparent oud with a whisper of animalic warmth that lingers like the memory of something you shouldn't have done—but don’t regret.

Performance & Longevity

This fragrance has strong projection and excellent longevity, with its rich ingredients ensuring a trail that follows you well into the night. The boozy sweetness mellows into a leathery, woody base that clings to skin and fabric alike, making it ideal for evenings, getaways, or when you simply want to stand out.

Real-Life Comparisons

Trouble in Paradise carries the tropical flair of something like Kilian's Angels’ Share meets Nishane’s Ani, but with a juicy, exotic fruit twist. If you’ve ever imagined what mango would smell like if it were forbidden, aged in rum barrels, and worn with a leather jacket—this is it.

Final Thoughts

This isn't just a fragrance; it's a statement. Trouble in Paradise embodies the idea that beauty can be wild, and paradise isn’t always peaceful. It’s meant for the unapologetic—a scent for those who choose to savor every moment, even when the night turns a little wicked. Whether you're escaping to a faraway island or just daydreaming of one, this scent lets you bring a bit of that trouble with you.
