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

The intense woody-gourmand warmth, chestnut and caramel make this a stellar choice for chilly fall and winter nights, where its richness shines. The fruit and spice keep it lively for spring, but it is too heavy and sweet for summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Sensual warmth and bold sweet woods make it perfect for date nights and formal evening wear. May be too rich and attention grabbing for office or sport settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Scandal Pour Homme Absolu envelops you in a swirl of roasted chestnut, luscious caramel, and smooth sandalwood. Mirabelle plum and mandarin give a juicy flash that quickly descends into a creamy, nutty, and woody embrace, underscored by powdery musk and resinous warmth. Rich, sensual, and bold, it is a modern gourmand for the confident man who wants his presence felt long after he leaves the room.
