Popular Love Island contestant Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu surprised viewers with her “bombshell” return to the latest series of the ITV dating show.
The 30 year-old, who won season eight, made her grand return to the villa for the latest All Stars series on air. Famed for her witty one liners and banter, the TV personality has fast become one of the hot-favourites to win once again.
To make sure she looked and smelled her best for her comeback, it has been revealed that Ekin-Su wore Prada’s Paradoxe Eau de Parfum when she re-entered the villa. Described as “unique” and “unusual”, it’s certainly a fragrance to be remembered.

Usually retailing at £69 for a 30ml bottle, Superdrug is offering it at its cheapest price, with 20 percent off select fragrances when you spend over £60 online, bringing the total down to £55.20 – almost a £14 saving off the RRP. Over at Boots and Lookfantastic, a 30ml bottle is still priced at £69.
Prada’s Paradoxe mixes both amber and woody notes to create a scent that “suits all age brackets”, according to shoppers. The delicate fragrance opens with light neroli that has been extracted just as the flower blooms, creating a fresher aroma.
Amber at the heart reveals “vibrant warmth”, while a new musk molecule has been added to deepen the scent, adding to its overall longevity. The bottle itself is an elegant, tilted triangle that will look sophisticated on any vanity table.
On the Superdrug website alone, the Prada Paradoxe perfume has earned a rather impressive4.8 rating and nearly perfect recommendation rate from shoppers who love its “feminine” scent that “lasts all day”.
One glowing review read: “I instantly fell in love with this scent, it’s really unique and feminine. I always get lots of compliments about it, it’s a light and refreshing scent, but lasts all day!”
Another perfume fan added: “Absolutely in love with the scent! Long lasting, unusual, perfect for winter! Already got a full-size bottle!”
Someone else remarked: “Really gorgeous, green fragrance. Lasted well in my skin, very unique and lingering.”
Its strength wasn’t too everyone’s personal tastes, as one shopper admitted: “Nice full sample, scent is long lasting. Its too floral for my preference but does mellow out.”
