Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier is honey, thick and golden, poured over white flowers. Blood orange and mandarin open it with a juicy flash. Honey arrives fast and stays, wound through gardenia, jasmine, orange blossom and a soft bite of peach. The base turns darker: beeswax, caramel, patchouli and a thread of licorice give it a slightly animalic warmth. Launched in 2017, it is mostly worn by women who enjoy a sweet scent with nerve. Save it for autumn and winter nights, dinners and parties. Longevity votes lean long-lasting and sillage votes lean strong, so it announces you before you speak. Wear the decant on a few evenings out before the bottle comes home.

The house
More from Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier began in France in 1982 as the house of a designer known as fashion's enfant terrible, and the perfumes keep his playful streak. Sweetness is the house language: vanilla, tonka bean, caramel and honey, often cut with lavender, mint or bergamot. Le Male is the starting point, an aromatic take on vanilla with a fresh, spicy lift. Le Male Elixir pushes it richer, into honey. Scandal pairs honey with white flowers, and La Belle is fruit and vanilla. For a greener mood, Le Beau Paradise Garden brings coconut and fresh leaves.
