Which Should You Buy?
Sweet, bold, and utterly modern, Scandal Pour Homme Elixir is a cherry-vanilla bomb with a plush gourmand backbone. Not for the shy, this is a statement scent with seductive warmth and impressive projection.
Scandalous Elixir For Men keeps the black cherry-patchouli-tonka trio that anchors Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal Pour Homme Elixir, delivering the same boozy-sweet, patchouli-driven oriental in a simplified three-note frame.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The plush cherry-vanilla-amber core and strong sweetness make this a standout in cool fall and winter, while its richness can feel heavy in heat. Spring is possible for evenings, but summer is too warm for this gourmand blend.
Occasions
The bold, seductive projection and gourmand cherry-vanilla sweetness make it ideal for dates or upscale events, but it risks being too loud for office or sporty settings. Suits nightlife and making a statement.
Seasons
A warm, sweet cherry-patchouli-tonka oriental that performs best in cold weather.
Occasions
The bold, sweet character suits evenings and dates more than reserved office settings.
