The story behind the bottle.
Scandal A Paris by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Chypre Floral fragrance that launched in 2019. Perfumer Daphné Bugey crafted this scent to be unisex, capturing the essence of Parisian irreverence and elegance. The composition opens with pear, bringing a bright, crisp freshness that contrasts beautifully with the heart note of jasmine, which adds a touch of sweetness and floral warmth. The base note of honey rounds out the fragrance, creating a rich, luxurious finish that lingers on the skin.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to ensure the pear top note has enough time to fade into the floral heart and rich honey base. It's best for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet luxurious scent that evolves throughout the day.
