Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal Pour Homme Elixir Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Proud Of You Absolute EDP
This budget clone of Stronger With You Absolutely is a bit of a mixed bag. Some love its close resemblance and cozy gourmand vibe, perfect for cold weather. Others find it weak, lacking depth, and a bit of a letdown in performance, arguing you get what you pay for. Proceed with caution.

Season and Occasion Fit

Scandal Pour Homme Elixir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The plush cherry-vanilla-amber core and strong sweetness make this a standout in cool fall and winter, while its richness can feel heavy in heat. Spring is possible for evenings, but summer is too warm for this gourmand blend.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The bold, seductive projection and gourmand cherry-vanilla sweetness make it ideal for dates or upscale events, but it risks being too loud for office or sporty settings. Suits nightlife and making a statement.

Proud Of You Absolute

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its sweet and warm profile makes it ideal for dates and casual evening wear in cooler weather. While some find it office-appropriate if lightly applied, its gourmand sweetness and varying performance mean it's not a go-to for formal settings or sports.
