Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal By Night EDP
A divisive yet sought-after gourmand, Scandal By Night is a honey-drenched, cherry-infused powerhouse. You'll either adore its syrupy sweetness or find it utterly overwhelming - there's rarely an in-between. Expect compliments, and expect to make a statement.

Our Verdict - Candid Tonight EDP
A polarizing but often adored dupe, Candid Tonight nails the honeyed cherry and tuberose vibe of its discontinued inspiration. Performance can be a bit hit or miss, so you'll either be bathed in luxurious warm sweetness or wishing for more oomph.

Season and Occasion Fit

Scandal By Night

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

This is a heavy, sweet fragrance with significant projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office or sports setting. It shines brightest on dates and evening occasions, as its seductive nature is often mentioned in reviews; some find it too much even for formal events due to its intensity.

Candid Tonight

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While some find the sillage powerful, others report weak longevity, making it less ideal for office wear. Its sweet, warm, and sensual profile, coupled with a performance better suited for intimate settings or colder weather, makes it a prime candidate for date nights and evening events.
