Pigmentarium’s Paradiso Gets a Playful Makeover
by Adriano Batista
Pigmentarium’s Paradiso Limited Edition Vol. 3 is a summer mood in a bottle. Launching on May 15, this collector’s edition keeps the brand’s tradition of handing over creative control to an artist, but this time, the twist isn’t just visual. The scent itself has been dialed up: grapefruit gets a double shot, making it juicier, brighter, and more intense, while still holding onto its signature bitter freshness.
The artist behind this year’s redesign is Eva Rampich, a Prague-based graphic designer known for her sharp wit and playful approach. True to form, she turned the packaging into a mini sci-fi comedy. The outer box hides a surprise: once you pull out the bottle, you discover a grapefruit under alien attack. A UFO (disguised as a citrus juicer) hovers menacingly, while a perfectly coiffed poodle (possibly extraterrestrial) stares blankly from the box.
It’s absurd, fun, and exactly the kind of irreverence you’d want from a limited edition. As Eva puts it, “Nothing here needs to be taken too seriously.” And that’s the point. Paradiso has always been about escapism, the smell of poolside cocktails and sun-warmed pine trees. Now, it’s also about grapefruit-rescuing adventures and intergalactic poodles.
The scent itself layers tangerine and rhubarb over juniper and pepper, with vetiver and patchouli grounding it. It’s a vacation in a spritz, but with more punch than before.
Only 50ml bottles are available (priced at €160), and like all good limited editions, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Whether you’re into perfume, design, or just weird little stories, this one’s worth a sniff.
