Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal Pour Homme Parfum
A modern homage to classic masculine fougères, Scandal Pour Homme is a high-quality, barbershop-fresh scent with undeniable charm. It's divisive only on price; the scent itself is a well-loved, if familiar, crowd-pleaser for the discerning gentleman.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Good Action EDP
Good Action For Men echoes Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal Pour Homme, the smooth sweet-fougere crowd-pleaser. It carries the herbal-fresh opening and that signature creamy tonka sweetness, but the dupe flattens the polish and wears closer to the skin, swapping the original's good projection for a more linear, budget-friendly take.
