Scandal
Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier plays with sweet, dessert-like accents and a soft, rounded richness. Blood orange and mandarin orange in the opening; honey, gardenia and orange blossom at the heart; beeswax, patchouli and liquorice in the base. With strong sillage and 7–9 h longevity, it shines best in the evening and in winter. Sweet, but with character: not just sugar.
