Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Eau de Parfum is an unabashedly sensual honey floral that opens with a juicy splash of blood orange and mandarin before melting into a decadent heart where creamy gardenia, orange blossom, jasmine, and a whisper of peach glow over lashings of honey. As it settles, beeswax, caramel, patchouli, and licorice create a plush, gourmand trail that feels glamorous, confident, and endlessly addictive for nights out and memorable occasions.

Story and Positioning
Created as a new pillar to embody Parisian nightlife glamour, Scandal pairs luminous white florals with a lavish honey and caramel signature for an immediately recognizable evening scent. The line has grown with Scandal by Night and So Scandal adding fruitier and creamier twists, while Scandal Le Parfum and the more recent Scandal Intense amplify opulence. If you enjoy rich, sweet signatures like Elie Saab Girl of Now, Paco Rabanne Lady Million, or Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, expect a more honey-drenched, gardenia-forward take here that leans bold and flirtatious.
Bottle and Design
A weighty, clear glass bottle shows off blush pink juice, crowned by a polished metal cap shaped like a pair of legs kicked skyward, a cheeky couture wink from the house. The rounded form sits securely on a thick base and arrives in the brand’s collectible cylindrical tin, making it as display-worthy as it is wearable.
