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.
The Essence Vault's No. 862 goes after JPG Scandal Pour Femme's honeyed-gourmand attitude, landing the sweet honey-gardenia core convincingly but skipping most of the original's caramel-praline complexity, so it reads simpler and doesn't hold its projection past a few hours.
