Scandalous

The first sip of raspberry liqueur, followed by the soft touch of a peony petal and the sweet embrace of praline — an invitation to lose yourself in its juicy provocations.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Scandalous by Victoria's Secret was launched in 2014 and crafted by perfumer Gil Clavien. This Floral Fruity fragrance opens with the bright burst of raspberry, leading into a lush heart of peony that adds an unexpected depth. The base note of praline brings a touch of sweetness that lingers on the skin, creating an overall effect that is both provocative and alluring. Designed to evoke a sense of sensuality and confidence, Scandalous captures the essence of a bold moment, where every scent promises excitement.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply Scandalous during cooler hours when its fruity and floral notes can linger longer. A light spritz on pulse points will allow the praline base to unfold gradually throughout the day. This fragrance is particularly suited for evening wear when you want a scent that whispers rather than shouts.
