Which Should You Buy?
A voluptuous, scandalously sweet floral gourmand with a creamy vanilla core and spicy edge that commands attention and leaves a lingering, decadent trail.
Perfume Parlour's budget read of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Intense, the honeyed cardamom-ylang-and-vanilla oriental floral. It captures the spicy-floral opening and rich vanilla drydown well, leaning a touch sweeter and simpler - and as a budget oil it wears a little lighter than the designer.
