Alexandria UK Scandalous is an Eau de Parfum. Scandalous opens with Lemon, Lime, Basil, and Mint, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Violet, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Alexandria UK's Scandalous carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Scandalous goes after Roja Dove Scandal Pour Homme's emerald fougere, barbershop-fresh signature. The citrus-herb opening lands close, but the mossy, patchouli-vetiver dry-down thins out faster and reads simpler than Roja's dense, textured original.

About

Scandalous is built around Roja Dove Scandal Pour Homme's green fougere charisma, opening with a bright lemon-lime duo cooled by basil, mint and tarragon that mirrors the original's garden-fresh punch. A heart of petitgrain and geranium brings the classic barbershop polish, with a touch of violet powder standing in for the reference's more layered floral work. The dry-down aims at Roja's mossy, earthy base, pairing patchouli and vetiver over oakmoss, musk and cedar, but the effect is flatter and shorter-lived, especially once the initial aromatic burst fades. It is a recognisable, wearable take on the barbershop-fougere idea rather than a note-for-note match, best suited to daytime office wear where the original's slow-burn complexity isn't essential.
