About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier, launched in 2017, is a chypre floral that opens with a bright burst of blood orange and mandarin orange. The citrus top notes quickly give way to a rich, honeyed heart where gardenia, orange blossom, jasmine, and peach intertwine. The honey note is dominant, lending a thick, syrupy sweetness that defines the fragrance's character.
The base of beeswax, caramel, patchouli, and licorice adds depth and a slightly animalic, gourmand twist. This is a bold, extroverted scent for women who enjoy sweet, floral compositions with a sensual edge. It suits evening wear and cooler months, where its warmth and intensity can be fully appreciated. Collectors who appreciate honey-drenched florals with a patchouli backbone will find Scandal a compelling addition, though those who prefer light, fresh fragrances may find it overwhelming.
中文簡介
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal(2017)係一款西普花香調香水,以血橙同柑橘揭開序幕,跟住係蜂蜜、梔子花、橙花、茉莉同桃子交織嘅甜美花香核心,蜂蜜味尤其突出。基調用蜂蠟、焦糖、廣藿香同甘草,帶出動物感同美食調嘅深度。氣質大膽、性感,適合夜晚場合同涼爽天氣使用。鍾意濃郁蜂蜜花香同廣藿香底蘊嘅收藏家會欣賞佢,但偏好清新淡雅嘅人可能會覺得太濃。
