Blossom Perfumery 192 Scandal is an Eau de Parfum. 192 Scandal opens with Blood Orange and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Gardenia, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Licorice, Beeswax, and Caramel. Blossom Perfumery's 192 Scandal carries an Acquired verdict, a honey-led wear.

A fair dupe of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal, matching the honeyed-floral-patchouli signature but with a flatter, more one-dimensional honey accord than the original's rich, almost animalic warmth.

About

No. 192 follows the honey-forward gourmand path that made Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal a modern bestseller, opening with a citrusy blood orange burst before moving into a thick honey and white-floral heart, then settling on patchouli and caramel. The honey note is present and recognisable, but it lacks the original's deeper, almost salted, animalic complexity that gives Scandal its addictive quality - here the sweetness stays more straightforwardly sugary throughout. The patchouli-caramel base is warm and pleasant but fades faster and thinner than the reference fragrance's long, sultry drydown. It is a solid, affordable way to try the honeyed floral-gourmand genre Scandal popularised, and the opening citrus-honey combination is convincing, though the overall effect is louder and less nuanced than the original once it settles on skin.
