Which Should You Buy?
A bold and sweet scent that's enticing for evening wear. Scandal balances lush florals and sweet honey, offering an unmistakable presence.
Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal is a honeyed gourmand-floral with real personality, and this oil turns the honey and orange up loud from the start, while the gardenia that gives the original its floral backbone comes through as more of an afterthought.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The warm honey and rich patchouli notes make it well-suited for cooler weather, but the sweet, floral, and fruity elements provide enough versatility for spring days.
Occasions
Scandal's boldness and sweetness make it an intriguing choice for dates and casual outings, while its strength and richness can be overwhelming for sports or the office.
Seasons
A bright, honeyed fruity-floral built for warm weather; it lacks the depth to feel purposeful once the temperature drops.
Occasions
Too sweet and casual for the office, but the playful honey-fruit combination suits a daytime date or easy casual wear.
