Which Should You Buy?
Sweet, bold, and utterly modern, Scandal Pour Homme Elixir is a cherry-vanilla bomb with a plush gourmand backbone. Not for the shy, this is a statement scent with seductive warmth and impressive projection.
No.290 is Eden Perfumes' aftershave take on Versace Eros, matching the mint-apple opening and vanilla-tonka base of the modern signature. It is louder in the opening and flatter through the drydown than the original EDT, but keeps the same crowd-pleasing shape.
