Scandalous

Scandalous, inspired by Victoria's Secret Scandalous (2014)

Raspberry, styled as a liqueur, gives the opening a dark, slightly boozy fruitiness. Black peony fills out the heart with a rosy, full floral note. Praline closes it, adding nutty caramel sweetness that softens the fruit. The structure is simple and the mood unmistakably flirtatious.

About the original

Victoria's Secret launched Scandalous in fall 2014 with model Jasmine Tookes as its face, in a bottle tied with a black satin bow. A flanker, Scandalous Dare, followed in 2016. According to reports, the original was withdrawn and later returned only briefly; it no longer appears on Victoria's Secret's US or UK sites.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Victoria's Secret stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Raspberry and praline set the tone from start to finish. It is sweet throughout, with no fresh or green counterpoint, so anyone wary of sugary scents may find it heavy.
