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 - Misconduct EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier - Scandal - a floral fragrance led by Gardenia, Blood Orange, with citrus depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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.

Misconduct

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
