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 - Mrs Scandal EDP
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.

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.

Mrs Scandal

Seasons

Also Works:
Autumn Winter

The dense honey-gardenia warmth suits cooler months better than hot weather, where the sweetness can feel heavy.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

The loud, glossy honey character reads best on nights out and dates; too much for the office or sport.
