JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
SCANDAL ABSOLU

Scandal Absolu opens with the striking presence of tuberose, a floral note that demands attention with its creamy and intoxicating character. As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals a rich layer of black fig, adding a juicy sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the white floral aspect of the tuberose. This balance creates a sense of depth and intrigue, leading to a warm and inviting base of sandalwood. As it dries down, the woody undertones become more prominent, grounding the scent while maintaining a soft sweetness that lingers on the skin. This fragrance is perfect for women who want to make a statement during the cooler months of fall and winter, ideally suited for nighttime wear. Scandal Absolu boasts moderate longevity and sillage, making it a versatile choice without overwhelming those around you. It's a great option for evening outings or special occasions where you want to leave a memorable impression. If you enjoy fragrances that blend floral and fruity elements with a woody foundation, Scandal Absolu is worthy of your attention, standing out in a category often crowded with more conventional offerings.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Expect tuberose up top, with black fig carrying the middle of the wear. What you'll smell on skin hours in is sandalwood — the base does the heavy lifting here. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear — not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across fall and winter with a nighttime tilt. The 4.2-star rating with 7,040 voters behind it makes a blind buy defensible.
