Scandalous
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Estée Lauder gourmand from yesteryear that's surprisingly sophisticated for its notes. Some find it a balanced 'fruitchouli', while others are put off by a strong patchouli opening and find it turns sickly or artificial on their skin. A proper love-it-or-hate-it.
Divisive yet adored, Scandalous is a fleeting fruity-gourmand that sparks fierce loyalty in some and disappointment in others regarding its performance. Reformulation rumours aside, its syrupy charm leaves a memorable impression.
