When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The plush cherry-vanilla-amber core and strong sweetness make this a standout in cool fall and winter, while its richness can feel heavy in heat. Spring is possible for evenings, but summer is too warm for this gourmand blend.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The bold, seductive projection and gourmand cherry-vanilla sweetness make it ideal for dates or upscale events, but it risks being too loud for office or sporty settings. Suits nightlife and making a statement.

About

Scandal Pour Homme Elixir opens with a blast of juicy black cherry, kissed by citrus and aromatic sage, immediately wrapping you in a syrupy, mouthwatering cloud. The heart pulses with boozy rum, smoky patchouli, and cooling spearmint, while the drydown is a decadent blend of creamy vanilla, tonka, and wood. Rich, sweet, and unashamedly bold, it leaves a magnetic trail that lingers long after you've left the room.
