Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal Pour Femme EDP
A bombshell honey-caramel elixir that oozes confidence and sensuality. Not for the shy, Scandal is a provocative gourmand floral that demands attention and leaves a lasting impression.
Statement
Our Verdict - Scandalous EDP
Scandalous chases Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal's honeyed gourmand-floral formula, keeping the same blood orange-into-honey arc. It's a sweeter, simpler take - the gardenia-patchouli heart reads flatter than Scandal's more layered honey accord, and the caramel base fades faster than the original's long, syrupy drydown.
