Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal Pour Homme Parfum
A modern homage to classic masculine fougères, Scandal Pour Homme is a high-quality, barbershop-fresh scent with undeniable charm. It's divisive only on price; the scent itself is a well-loved, if familiar, crowd-pleaser for the discerning gentleman.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Scandalous EDP
Scandalous goes after Roja Dove Scandal Pour Homme's emerald fougere, barbershop-fresh signature. The citrus-herb opening lands close, but the mossy, patchouli-vetiver dry-down thins out faster and reads simpler than Roja's dense, textured original.
