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.
