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 - No.008 Scandal EDP
A budget spin on Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal, No.008 leans into the same fruity-caramel signature but flattens the honeyed patchouli base into something lighter and less syrupy - a decent starter dupe rather than a true match.
