The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2026 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Scandal Elixir is a Chypre Fruity fragrance created by perfumers Daphné Bugey, Bruno Jovanovic, and Fabrice Pellegrin. The composition opens with the bright burst of blackberry and blood orange, setting an immediate tone of juicy vibrancy. At its heart, iris and gardenia weave a floral blend that is both classic and modern, while ylang-ylang adds a touch of warmth and sensuality. The base notes of patchouli, vanilla, and benzoin create a warm, powdery finish that grounds the fragrance with earthy depth.
Apply Scandal Elixir to pulse points for a balanced experience. The fruity top notes are particularly bright, so allow them to fade slightly before venturing out. This fragrance blooms beautifully over time, making it perfect for an evening event where you want to evolve with your surroundings.
