Our Verdict

So Scandal! and So Candid share a similar white floral, tuberose, and lactonic profile, but the overall experience differs. So Scandal! is considered to be more refined and balanced. So Candid, being a dupe, amplifies the sweeter, bubblegum aspects, making it a louder and arguably less sophisticated fragrance. If you enjoy the core DNA but want a smoother, less intense experience, So Scandal! is the better choice. However, if you are seeking a bold, budget-friendly alternative that turns heads with its sweetness, So Candid might be perfect.

Our Verdict - So Scandal! EDP
This one's a divisive beast. For some, it's a creamy, fruity dream, a sophisticated white floral that garners endless compliments. For others, it's a bubblegum-sweet, synthetic headache-inducer that belongs in the bargain bin. Love it or hate it, many lament its rumoured discontinuation.

Our Verdict - So Candid EDP
This one is a divisive delight: a LOUD, bubblegum tuberose bomb that's either a sweet, creamy dream or a headache-inducing assault. Get ready for compliments or complaints, there's no in-between.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

Given its strong projection and longevity, it's best reserved for social settings where its bold character can shine without overwhelming.

It's too much for the office or a gym session.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its strong projection and sweet, bubblegum-like character, So Candid is best suited for social settings like dates or casual outings where its loudness can shine without overpowering. It's too potent and distinctive for a professional office environment, and its sweetness makes it less ideal for formal events or athletic activities.
