Which Should You Buy?
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.
Safanad is a beautifully blended, warm orange blossom dream, though opinions are split on whether it justifies the high price tag given its similarity to some much cheaper, equally enchanting classics. Expect a syrupy, elegant take on white florals with a cosy drydown.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and warm, elegant profile make it suitable for dates, casual outings, and formal events where you want to feel polished without being overpowering. The overall richness and sweetness of the orange blossom and vanilla accords, however, make it less ideal for a professional office setting or active sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, White Floral, Citrus accords and Orange Blossom, Pear notes
