Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Eau de Parfum is a 30ml floral-fruity-gourmand fragrance for women — a confident, slightly indulgent signature scent built around honey, gardenia and patchouli. Composed for the modern woman who's not afraid to make an impression, it captures Gaultier's signature blend of provocation and luxury.
About Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal
Jean Paul Gaultier is the celebrated French couturier whose perfume house is known for its distinctive bottle silhouettes and bold, characterful juices. Scandal, launched in 2017, sits within the brand's modern feminine flagship line — a fragrance designed to feel as confidently glamorous and slightly subversive as Gaultier's couture itself.
Fragrance notes
- Top: blood orange, mandarin, peach, licorice
- Heart: gardenia, jasmine, orange blossom
- Base: honey, patchouli, caramel
How it wears
The fragrance opens with a juicy, slightly tart accord — blood orange, mandarin and peach lifted by a touch of licorice give an immediate impression of confident feminine modernity. The heart turns into a luxurious white-floral bouquet, with creamy gardenia, refined jasmine and honeyed orange blossom. As it dries down, indulgent honey, dark patchouli and gourmand caramel wrap the composition into a long, slightly addictive finish.
Who it's for
Scandal is for women who love confident, slightly opulent floral-gourmand perfumery — wearers who enjoy honeyed signatures, fans of the wider Jean Paul Gaultier line and those building a special-occasion or evening signature. It is also a popular gift choice thanks to its instantly recognisable flacon. The 30ml format is also handbag-friendly.
How and when to wear it
Best worn from late afternoon into evening, and especially flattering through autumn and winter when the warm honey-patchouli base really comes through. Spray onto pulse points — wrists and the base of the throat.
