The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Scandal Le Parfum is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of indulgence and warmth. Created by perfumers Ane Ayo, Daphné Bugey, and Fabrice Pellegrin, this scent opens with a bright burst of jasmine before evolving into a rich caramel and salty middle note, grounded by a sweet vanilla base. The result is a composition that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The caramel note fades within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain its initial richness. This scent is best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
