The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Scandal Pour Homme Parfum Cologne in 2019 as a bold aromatic fougère that defies convention. The fragrance opens with a bright and invigorating blend of lavender, lemon, mint, and bergamot, creating an initial burst of freshness. This vibrant start gives way to the heart notes, where herbs like tarragon and basil mingle with delicate florals such as jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The composition then settles into a rich base of ambergris, clove, vetiver, tonka bean, cedar, patchouli, labdanum, musk, sandalwood, cardamom, nutmeg, rhubarb, and cashmere wood, grounding the scent with an earthy warmth.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The initial freshness will last about an hour before transitioning into its heart notes, making it perfect for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
