Scandal Absolu

by Fabrice Pellegrin , Daphné Bugey , Ane Ayo

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Absolu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Fabrice Pellegrin, Daphné Bugey, and Ane Ayo. Scandal Absolu opens with Tuberose, settles into a heart of Fig, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal Absolu carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a creamy, decadent gourmand that's proving to be a serious crowd-pleaser, despite the odd reviewer sniffing out something a bit... off. Forget the official notes, everyone's getting honey, coconut, and a whole load of sweet fig.

With significant projection and a clear gourmand profile, this isn't one for the office - it’s far too attention-grabbing. It shines brightest for dates and evening events, offering a luxurious and alluring aura, though some find it versatile enough for more casual, cooler weather wear.

About

Scandal Absolu opens with a rich, almost edible sweetness, dominated by a jammy, milky fig that often leans into a creamy coconut accord. The tuberose, while present, is smooth and not at all overtly floral, blending seamlessly into a warm, inviting base of soft sandalwood. It's a syrupy, luxurious scent, far more gourmand than its listed notes suggest, with many reviewers picking up on honey and vanilla.
