SOTD: Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum
Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier is a bold, oriental take on masculine sensuality. Created by a trio of top perfumers, this 2022 flanker deepens the originalâs formula with a more serious, less playful edge. It opens with spicy-clean geranium, quickly enveloped by a dense, creamy tonka bean heart, and finishes with rich sandalwood that grounds the sweetness in warmth and masculinity. Although today is a warm summer day, this is Ideal for autumn and winter, it shines in intimate settings like date nights. While it shares much of the DNA with the originalâperhaps too much for someâit trades bubblegum flair for darker depth. Sweet but also rounded, smooth, and rich, it delivers strong performance. Slightly overhyped and not a game-changer, but still a solid, sexy wearâespecially if you skipped the original. Scent Profile: - Top Note: Geranium (spicy, aromatic, clean) - Middle Note: Tonka Bean (sweet, creamy, lactonic) - Base Note: Sandalwood (smooth, woody, warm)
