Scandal

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal

Scandal is Jean Paul Gaultier’s bold, addictive honey floral, and our version keeps that character, built around the same notes with strong, lasting wear.

The Story Behind the Scent

Jean Paul Gaultier built Scandal in 2017 as a sweet honey floral, pairing a juicy blood orange opening with a honey, gardenia and jasmine heart over an earthy patchouli, caramel and beeswax base for a bold, addictive character.

Our interpretation follows that character, rebuilt at a high perfume oil concentration so it projects well and lasts on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load and sell direct, so you get the same sweet honey floral character with strong projection and longevity.
