Alexandria Fragrances' Scandalous and Roja Dove's Scandal share some notes, but diverge significantly in overall profile and price. Scandalous offers a fresh, spicy, and warm experience, making it more versatile and modern. Roja Dove's Scandal, however, leans heavily into white florals, particularly tuberose and jasmine. This creates a classic, arguably mature, scent profile that is more divisive. The Roja Dove scent is also significantly more expensive. If you want approachability and modern flair, go with Scandalous. If you enjoy prominent white florals and don't mind the price jump, Roja Dove's Scandal might be for you.
