The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 by Roja Dove, Scandal is a complex floral scent that blends the white florals of tuberose and jasmine with powdery and animalic notes. The composition opens with bright bergamot and lavender before diving into a lush heart of tuberose, gardenia, and orange blossom. Orris root adds an earthy depth to the mix, while musk and sandalwood provide warmth and sensuality in the base. Scandal is neither shy nor conventional; it invites you to embrace its boldness.
Apply this fragrance lightly — the white florals are bright and can be overpowering in excess. Allow it to develop on your skin for about half an hour before heading out, as the powdery and animalic notes take time to bloom fully.
