Original

So Scandal! Eau de Parfum bottle
So Scandal! Jean Paul Gaultier
EDP

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.

What makes a good dupe?

A good dupe captures the essence of the original fragrance - the same mood, the key accords, the general character - at a more accessible price point. It doesn't need to be a molecule-for-molecule copy. The best dupes feel right for the same occasions and carry a similar energy, giving you more ways to enjoy a scent profile you love.

We assess dupes by comparing the fragrance profile of the original against the dupe: shared accords, overlapping notes, similar longevity and projection, and occasion suitability. Our similarity scores reflect how closely the two fragrances align in character - not just raw ingredients.
