Eden Perfumes No.008 Scandal is an Eau de Parfum. No.008 Scandal opens with Blood Orange and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Gardenia and Honey, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Caramel. Eden Perfumes's No.008 Scandal carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget spin on Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal, No.008 leans into the same fruity-caramel signature but flattens the honeyed patchouli base into something lighter and less syrupy - a decent starter dupe rather than a true match.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Eden Perfumes' No.008 takes clear aim at Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal, opening with the same bright citrus rush of blood orange and mandarin that made the original an instant hit. The gardenia heart follows quickly, giving the scent its recognisable honeyed-floral core, before settling into a caramel and patchouli base that nods to Scandal's gourmand-chypre signature. Where it diverges is in depth: Eden's version renders the composition flatter and sweeter throughout, without the layered richness of the honey accord that gives the designer original its addictive, slightly boozy edge. Longevity and projection are moderate rather than the powerhouse sillage Scandal is known for, so expect a softer, closer-to-skin experience that fades within a few hours. It still captures the fruity-floral-gourmand shape well enough to be recognisable to anyone familiar with the original, making it a reasonable everyday alternative for fans who want the vibe without the price tag, even if it can't replicate the full intensity.
