Scandal Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier is a salted caramel floral, sweet with a savoury edge. Jasmine opens it with a soft white-floral lift, before caramel and salt take over, buttery and lightly savoury rather than sugary. Vanilla sits underneath, warm and a little powdery, keeping the whole thing smooth. Released in 2022, it is mostly women who pick it up, looking for a gourmand with some restraint built in. Voters keep it for fall and winter nights, useful for an evening that starts after a day at work. The longevity vote leans long-lasting. Most wearers call the sillage moderate. A 3ml decant is enough to wear it through several evenings before deciding on more.

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.
