Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Fabrice Pellegrin, Daphné Bugey, and Hamid Merati-Kashani. Scandal Gold opens with Cardamom, Saffron, and Honey, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal Gold carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde - some say it's a masterpiece, others get barnyard vibes. It's a spicy, leathery honey bomb that isn't for the faint of heart, but if you're after something bold and distinctive, it might just be your new obsession.

Its intense performance and strong, opulent notes make it less suitable for the office. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its sensual and bold character can make a lasting impression. Its rich profile means it's generally too heavy for casual daytime wear or sports.

About

Scandal Gold opens with a rich, spicy blend of cardamom and saffron, sweetened by a generous drizzle of honey. This gives way to a heart of elegant rose and jasmine, underpinned by the earthy, slightly animalic depth of cypriol. The dry-down settles into a luxurious base of smooth leather, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle hint of patchouli, creating a warm and enveloping finish.
