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.
Mrs Scandal keeps Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal's honey-gardenia loudness at the opening but loses the licorice-edged chypre grip of the original's patchouli-beeswax base within a couple of hours.
