Our verdict on Scandal By Night: Acquired

A divisive yet sought-after gourmand, Scandal By Night is a honey-drenched, cherry-infused powerhouse. You'll either adore its syrupy sweetness or find it utterly overwhelming - there's rarely an in-between. Expect compliments, and expect to make a statement.

This is a heavy, sweet fragrance with significant projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office or sports setting. It shines brightest on dates and evening occasions, as its seductive nature is often mentioned in reviews; some find it too much even for formal events due to its intensity.

About

Scandal By Night opens with an unapologetic blast of sticky, opulent honey, quickly joined by the juicy tartness of cherry and a subtle zesty hint of bitter orange. The heart blooms into a creamy white floral bouquet led by tuberose, softened by a touch of sweet pear. As it settles, a smooth, warm base of vanilla, tonka, sandalwood, and amberwood emerges, anchoring the sweetness with a deep, sensual glow. It’s a rich, dense blend for those who love their fragrances loud and proud.
