Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum is a bold amber woody built on a trio of glossy geranium, creamy tonka bean, and polished sandalwood, taking the scandalous spirit of the original into darker after-hours territory. It feels plush and charismatic from the first spray, trading the toffee wink of Scandal Pour Homme for a richer, more seductive trail that suits late nights, sharp tailoring, and confident entrances.
Launch and Perfumer
Launched in 2022. Perfumers Quentin Bisch, Natalie Gracia Cetto, and Christophe Raynaud.
Olfactory Notes
Top: Geranium
Heart: Tonka bean
Base: Sandalwood
Story and Positioning
Designed as the intense chapter of the Scandal for Him line, Le Parfum swaps the original’s caramel vibe for a suave woody amber built to linger, while keeping the ring side bravado that defines the pillar. The range now spans Scandal Pour Homme from 2021, this Le Parfum eau de parfum intense, the opulent Absolu from 2024, and the newer Scandal Pour Homme Intense from 2025, giving you a spectrum from playful gourmand to night-ready power. If you enjoy confident sweet woods such as Versace Eros, Rabanne 1 Million, or Invictus Victory styled scents, expect a more refined geranium and tonka theme here with impressive projection.
Bottle and Design
A statuesque glass block wears a deep black lacquer finish that reads glossy and dramatic, crowned by a sculptural gold cap shaped like a regal crown. The weighty base keeps it anchored on a dresser, the sprayer throws a generous, even mist, and the bottle is refillable, so you can keep the icon in rotation without replacing the piece. Presentation arrives in the house’s collectible cylindrical tin for instant shelf presence.
