JEAN PAUL GAULTIER SCANDAL eau de parfum spray 80 ml

SCANDAL Line

CAUTION! A NEW SCANDAL IS UNFOLDING…

SCANDAL by Jean Paul Gaultier belongs to the Chypre Floral fragrance family and is presented as a women’s “Eau de Parfum.” This recent addition aims to establish a fresh line of scents alongside the brand’s highly successful ‘CLASSIQUE’ and ‘LE MALE’ fragrances, injecting a playful, ironic, and ‘scandalous’ essence.

Introduced in 2017 by perfumer Daphne Bugey, this fragrance departs from intense aromas, opting for more refreshing notes to appeal to a diverse audience. Designed for bold, active, vital, energetic, and somewhat rebellious women seeking an aroma to accompany their daily adventures and define their unique identity.

The composition opens with a refreshing and sweet blend of tangerine and blood orange. The heart reveals the flirtatious side of the ‘SCANDAL’ woman with jasmine, orange blossom, gardenia, peach, and honey. The base notes unveil the fragrance’s indulgent and playful facets, featuring candy, licorice, patchouli, and beeswax.

Olfactory family: Floral Chypre.

Top notes: blood orange and mandarin.
Heart notes: jasmine, orange blossom, peach, honey and gardenia.
Base notes: patchouli, beeswax, caramel and licorice.

Inspired by the Parisian neighborhood of Quartier Pigalle, known for its artistic ambiance and favored by Jean Paul Gaultier himself, the fragrance captures the Bohemian chic atmosphere of its picturesque streets, studios, and cabarets.

The ‘SCANDAL’ advertising narrative revolves around a ‘political scandal,’ depicting a protagonist playing the role of a minister spending the night in Parisian bars but magically appearing flawless when returning to her desk at dawn. This playful nod to political scandals adds a humorous touch to the fragrance’s promotional campaign.

SEXY AND MODERN. Jean Paul Gaultier, known for his sensuality and seduction, emphasizes these qualities once again with SCANDAL. The fragrance describes a modern woman armed with seductive weapons, leaving an irresistible trail of allure and becoming an overwhelming addiction.
