Jean Paul Gaultier So Scandal! is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Fabrice Pellegrin and Daphné Bugey. So Scandal! opens with Raspberry, and settles into a heart of Milk, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Tuberose. Jean Paul Gaultier's So Scandal! carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. For some, it's a creamy, fruity dream, a sophisticated white floral that garners endless compliments. For others, it's a bubblegum-sweet, synthetic headache-inducer that belongs in the bargain bin. Love it or hate it, many lament its rumoured discontinuation.

Given its strong projection and longevity, it's best reserved for social settings where its bold character can shine without overwhelming. It leans heavily towards dates and nights out due to its sensual and attention-grabbing nature, though it could work casually for those who like to stand out. It's too much for the office or a gym session.

About

So Scandal! blasts off with a vibrant, juicy raspberry that’s quickly joined by a lavish bouquet of white florals. Tuberose takes centre stage, lending a lush, almost bubblegum sweetness, while jasmine and orange blossom add depth and a touch of heady elegance. A creamy, lactonic undercurrent smooths out any rough edges, creating a sumptuous, fruity-floral smoothie with an undeniable, yet subtle, animalic hum for intriguing depth.
