Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal, Sample
This decadent and raunchy fragrance from Jean Paul Gaultier is a Chypre Floral scent for women. Scandal opens with a vibrant burst of blood orange and mandarin orange, creating an initial impression that is both zesty and invigorating. These top notes provide a bright and energising introduction, their citrusy tang offering a fresh and sparkling prelude to the heart of the fragrance. As the scent unfolds, the citrus notes gracefully give way to an opulent bouquet of floral and fruity heart notes.
At the heart, a luscious blend of honey, gardenia, orange blossom, jasmine, and peach creates a sensual and inviting aroma. The honey adds a rich, golden sweetness, enveloping the delicate florals in a soft, syrupy embrace. The gardenia and orange blossom offer creamy, white floral nuances, while jasmine introduces an intoxicating depth. Peach adds a juicy, velvety layer, enhancing the overall warmth and allure of the fragrance.
The base of Scandal is profoundly seductive, featuring beeswax, caramel, patchouli, and licorice. The beeswax and caramel provide a sweet, indulgent foundation, their gourmand qualities creating a feeling of luxurious comfort. Patchouli adds a touch of earthiness, grounding the fragrance in a warm, slightly woody base. Finally, the dark, aromatic licorice note weaves through the sweetness, adding a mysterious and slightly edgy character. This captivating dry-down leaves a lasting impression, solidifying Scandal's place as a cornerstone of the Jean Paul Gaultier range of feminine scents.
