Description
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal was conceived as a fragrant act of provocation — a chypre-floral composition that refuses to whisper. Three perfumers joined forces to build this complex, sweet-resinous creation with an unapologetically bold character.
The opening fires with the sharp, sun-kissed brightness of blood orange and mandarin — a citrus clarity that quickly yields to the heart. There, honey becomes the spine of the composition: thick, dark, and persistent from first spray to last trace. Gardenia and orange blossom provide floral context; peach layers in a juicy, fleshy sweetness.
The base is where Scandal earns its name. Beeswax wraps the honey note in warm, waxy organics; caramel adds confection depth; patchouli grounds the composition with earthy moss; and licorice introduces an anisic-sweet tension that lingers unexpectedly.
With outstanding sillage and longevity — particularly on evening wear and cold-weather skin — Scandal EDP is a standout choice for wholesale buyers seeking a high-impact, trend-resistant fragrance with consistent sell-through.
