Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Scandal's deep honey, caramel, and beeswax make it exceptionally suited to cold weather, where its richness and warmth bloom. Spring and fall are also fitting for its floral and fruity edges, but summer heat can make it overpowering.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, seductive sweetness and strong projection make it best for nighttime, dates, or formal events. It's too rich and attention-grabbing for the office or sporty activities.

About

Scandal envelops the senses in a rush of decadent honey, lush gardenia, and the dazzling brightness of blood orange. This unapologetically bold creation layers creamy caramel and beeswax over a plush patchouli base, with hints of peach and licorice weaving in playful intrigue. The result is a rich, gourmand-floral trail that feels both deliciously modern and irresistibly sultry, perfect for nights that blur into morning.
