Launched in 2024 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Scandal Absolu is a daring Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumers Daphné Bugey, Fabrice Pellegrin, and Ane Ayo. The composition opens with an overwhelming tuberose, leading to the lush black fig, and settles into a warm sandalwood base. This fragrance embodies Jean Paul Gaultier's irreverent spirit — it is a scandalous indulgence that teeters on the edge of addiction. Scandal Absolu invites you to embrace your most eccentric and irresistible pleasures, where floral indecency meets syrupy black figs.
