Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal EDP
A bold and sweet scent that's enticing for evening wear. Scandal balances lush florals and sweet honey, offering an unmistakable presence.
Statement
Our Verdict - Scandal Extrait
Recreates Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal's honeyed floral-amber signature closely, keeping the blood orange opening and gardenia-honey heart that made the original a hit.
