Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal EDP
A bold and sweet scent that's enticing for evening wear. Scandal balances lush florals and sweet honey, offering an unmistakable presence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Scandal Attar Oil
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Scandal

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

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.

Scandal Attar

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A bright, honeyed fruity-floral built for warm weather; it lacks the depth to feel purposeful once the temperature drops.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Too sweet and casual for the office, but the playful honey-fruit combination suits a daytime date or easy casual wear.
