Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum EDP Intense

Description

Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum is the richer, more intense reading of Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal Pour Homme, built by Quentin Bisch, Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, and Christophe Raynaud around a geranium-tonka-sandalwood spine. It opens spicy-green with geranium, moves into a dense, creamy tonka bean heart, and finishes on rich sandalwood, an amber-woody update that keeps the original's gourmand warmth but leans darker and more formal. Think Scandal Pour Homme dressed up for a night out rather than the office.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 34%
• Woody: 34%
• Floral: 32%

Translation: an even three-way balance of warm woody sandalwood, sweet tonka bean, and a green-floral geranium lift, bold and grown-up rather than fresh.
