The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

So Scandal! by Jean Paul Gaultier, launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumers Daphné Bugey and Fabrice Pellegrin, captures the essence of a modern femme fatale. This floral fruity fragrance opens with a burst of white florals and fruity accords that evoke a sense of youthful vitality and confidence. The heart is anchored by tuberose, adding an unexpected depth and complexity. The base notes introduce animalic and lactonic elements that lend a subtle sensuality, creating a composition that is both bold and intriguing.

How to wear it

Apply So Scandal! to pulse points for an immediate impact. The fruity and white floral notes are bright but can fade quickly, so layering with the base notes will ensure longevity throughout the evening.
