The story behind the bottle.
Scandal Eau de Parfum X-Mas Edition 2020, launched in 2020 by Jean Paul Gaultier and crafted by Christophe Raynaud, Daphné Bugey, and Fabrice Pellegrin, is a fragrance that balances vibrant citrus notes with warm, indulgent tones. The opening of blood orange and mandarin orange introduces a bright freshness, soon giving way to the sweet richness of honey and gardenia. This transition leads into a heart of jasmine and peach, which adds depth and warmth, before settling into a base of beeswax, caramel, and patchouli — notes that evoke the cozy comfort of winter evenings.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The bright citrus notes will dissipate within an hour or two, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness. The base notes carry well into the evening.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
