The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Roja Dove, Scandal Pour Homme is a fragrance that balances the fresh aromatic and citrus notes of its opening with the warm and woody base. The scent opens with lemon, bergamot, and lavender, creating an invigorating burst of freshness. This contrasts beautifully with the deeper tones of oakmoss, ambergris, and musk in the heart and base notes, which add a layer of complexity and warmth. Roja Dove's composition is designed to be both crisp and sensual, making it a versatile choice for those who appreciate depth without heaviness.
Apply Scandal Pour Homme with one or two sprays to the wrists and neck. The aromatic top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so it’s best to reapply if you want the full effect throughout the day. The warm base notes, however, will last for hours, making this scent perfect for a long evening.
