Scandal By Night

This blind buy stumped me for awhile, it’s a sneaky scent that has 3 different perfumes in 1. Upon first spray, i get a honey cherry sweet almost syrupy (but not quite) type fragrance that is light and not very memorable, but nice. Then as it dries down about 15+ min later, this fragrance starts to smell very similar to Olympea / Olympea Intense. I thought I was crazy smelling Olympea, but saw another review that mentioned the same thing. It really seems to have a salt note like Olympea, I swear. Then as it further dries down, the tuberose comes out, mixes with the salty honey, and ends up smelling very similar to Marfa by Memo Paris, only a more sweet and floral with fewer musky herbal notes. I’d say this is a great option for people who like Olympea and Marfa and are looking for something similar/an amazing combination of both, that is more wearable and more addictive-smelling. My bottle isn’t a super strong beast mode fragrance like the reports of silage and longevity seem to imply here, I’d say it’s a lighter fragrance with 3-5 hrs average performance. Spraying several sprays definitely didn’t fill my tiny bedroom, this is sitting close to my skin with a foot or two projection max. It performs well enough that I keep smelling myself, but not so strong that others can tell when I enter the room. I’d say it performs and lasts like most average perfumes nowadays, may need a couple resprays to get it to last 8+hrs/all day. Seems to last a bit longer on clothes, though, my shirts will still smell faintly of this the next day. I’ve been wearing this during hot summer days and it smells very nice, but I don’t have much humidity in my climate which I think makes a lot of perfumes cloying in the heat for certain people. I actually like this more than Marfa and Olympea. I'm not sure if the discontinuation rumors are true - it seems like every one of my fav frags have discontinuation rumors here on fragrantica, though they are all very available from countless credible suppliers as I noticed when I rushed to buy backups (probably unnecessarily). A quick web search led me to several top online frag retailers who I've purchased from in the past selling this scent. Plus all other Scandal flankers review boards seem to be filled with recommendations for By Night as the BEST/favorite Scandal flanker, which I'd 100% agree with, I'm not sure why they'd discontinue something so well loved. If you're having trouble finding it, try layering Olympea or Olympea Intense with Marfa, it’s probably the closest you can get! Though Scandal by Night performs better IMO than Olympea and is comparable in performance to Marfa. I really didn't need to order a backup bottle, but the longer this sat on my skin, the more I fell in love with it. It smells expensive. SO ADDICTIVE. Sexy. Very good quality. I remember 15 yrs ago stealing a few sprays of JPG le male+flankers from guy friends of mine and thinking how the bottles are so funny, but the juice was the sexiest I ever smelled. I get that same feeling for this femme JPG fragrance, like I just cannot get enough. No synthetic/sharp cloying notes. I'd only warn against it if you dislike tuberose or olympeas salt note. Perhaps those who dislike honey may not like this, but the honey here is a salty soft ambery honey, it isn't as sharp and cloying as honey can be in a lot of other frags (for example, it does NOT remind me of the honey in Lady Million). IMO this was the best blind buy I ever found, and I'd recommend it for anyone, but I do know everyone has different tastes so I know this isn't for everyone. It seems sweet enough that younger people would love it, but it's mature enough that I don't feel like a teenage vanilla sugar bomb. Update-every time I smell this fragrance, I love it more and more. It’s one of the most beautiful scents I own. I own a lot of fragrances, I thought this would sit on my shelf unused, and somehow it made it into my top 5 almost immediately. A true beauty. I wish it lasted longer, I typically get 3-5 hrs of true performance from it, it can last on clothing 8 hrs but goes faint after 5. Otherwise it’s absolute perfection. I feel bad for my other fragrances as they will not be getting the attention that this one does. I ended up ordering 3 backup bottles, which is how you know I'm in love with a frag!

Scandal is one of my top favorites so I was happy to receive Scandal by Night as gift but I wasn't sure I would love it because cherry is a tricky note for me. fortunately there's no need to fear cherry in Scandal by Night, cherry is done right here. when first sprayed, Scandal and Scandal by Night have a lot in common but they're recognizable. the honey note is a bit tamed in SBN so the sweetness is less intense compared to OG Scandal. don't get me wrong, it's still very sweet and the honey is still dominant, just slightly softer when I compare it side by side with Scandal. the other difference is due to the strong cherry note in SBN. the cherry is easily detectable but it's not too strong to make this all about cherry. it also doesn't have a medicinal aka cough syrupish vibe. it's pretty and easy to like. I love how honey, cherry and flowers(I don't pickup tuberose as a seperate note but I can detect orange flower) are blended together to create this sweet, sexy scent. patchouli doesn't bother me in Scandals and to be honest I don't detect much tonka here. drydown is mostly a vanilla-orange flower combo on me. I love Scandal by Night but the OG Scandal is still my favorite among these two. both have very good longevity and leave a lovely trail as I walk(I checked the batchcode of my bottle of SBN and it's made in 2018 so I don't know if the new formulations are weeker or not). اسکندل و اسکندل بای نایت شباهت زیادی باهم دارن هرچند قابل تشخیصن. اولا که بای نایت نت عسل ملایمتر و شیرینی ملایمتری داره. البته کماکان عطر بشدت شیرین پ کاملا عسلی هست اما اسکندل اصلی از اینم شیرینتره. دومین فرقشون مربوط به نت آلبالوی غالبی هست که تو اسکندل بای نایت وجود داره. آلبالو براحتی قابل تشخیصه اما نه درحدیکه عطر رو کاملا آلبالویی کنه و اصلا حالت دارویی و شربت سینه طور نداره. پچولی تو اسکندلها اذیتم نمیکنه و تونکا رو هم حس نمیکنم. شروعش یه ترکیب محشر از عسل و آلبالو و گلهاست و درای داونش هم عمدتا ترکیب وانیل و شکوفه پرتقال. من اسکندل بای نایت رو هم خیلی دوست دارم اما بین این دوتا، هنوزم خود اسکندل رو بیشتر دوست دارم. موندگاری هردوشون هم خیلی خوبه و یه رد بوی عسلی محشر پشت سر آدم به جا میذارن

Absolutely the best of the scandal line in my opinion. It’s extremely sweet so if you don’t like sweet perfume retreat from this. Don’t even look at it anymore. The cherry in this scent is pronounced but so is the honey, jasmine, and tuberose. In fact it’s loud and probably the sweetest fragrance in my collection and I have La Vie Est Belle and Girl of Now. I would say if you like GON you’ll probably like this. They smell very similar because almond often smells like cherry and vice versa. The scandal line also has a bit of an animalic edge due to the honey joining with the white florals. When both of those are this strong they can sometimes verge off into pissy bee’s hive quality. So,once in a while that occurs to my nose with this fragrance and other times it doesn’t. This also has a smoky, woody, tonka, sandalwood dry down. Some days this fragrance is gorgeous to me but sometimes this fragrance verges on cloying and too much. Update: I’m confused about this fragrance. Yesterday I put it on and it was verging on offensive. It was tooth achingly sweet and cloying. It also became so animalic on my skin with that thick honey and musk that it all made me a little sick. It’s just too much of everything. Extremely sweet, extremely floral, extremely animalic in a skanky way. It’s hitting people over the head screaming at them. You know that girl that’s beyond belief pretty naturally? But she’s wearing too much makeup? Like WAY too much makeup and her lashes are literally 3 inches long and don’t look right? Like, Gurl you don’t need all that calm down you’re pretty. She doesn’t realize how beautiful she was to begin with. It’s out of balance. That’s this fragrance. But other times this fragrance is sweet and sexy cherry/honey/ floral. Idk guys it’s not a safe blind buy.

Perfectly syrupy and robust frangrance, as though as cherries melted into honey in a feverish combination! To me it feels quite linear at first, a mere cherry-honey fusion, although as time goes by the scent blossoms into something almost smokey as the honey - once so strong, at first - subdues into the background for the tonka beans and vanilla to shine, obviously still heavily accompanied by the cherries. It's not merely "cherries", still very very ripe indeed, to the limit of almost being spoilt, even. Needless to say - on my skin the tuberose stood second to the cherry as it took a leading role on the performance throughout all day. Positively cloying and inebriating, glues to the skin like magic and in spite of it all I do not imagine this to be a pleasant scent for the summer, humid neither the spring time. It's a heavy concoction, to say the least. A very intoxicating perfume indeed, bewitching. In my opinion, certainly not an office fragrance as it might induce headaches in some (such as my mother, who hated this sweet bomb). Suitable for all ages, however almost vulgar due to it's scandalous nature indeed. Now, sadly, all that's left to do is reminisce and - hopefully - collect, as soon as possible. Here in Brazil some stores still carry this scent so I'm severely inclined to stock up, seeing as in some countries it is no longer available. A scandal indeed to abandon such fragrance. RIP our beloved cherry bomb 🎀

* full 30 ml with box available for swap * I tried both Scandal and Scandal by Night and immediately bought this one in the 30 ml format (it does not have the legs on the cap, the cap is plain metal and the legs are just a little tiny tiny pendant attached to the bottle). Both are incredible but this one is just amaaaaazing. I don't usually wear heavy fragrances like Black Opium etc, so I was skeptical about this, but... It is just divine. The original is thick, dense, rich honey. This has a hint of tuberose that calms the fragrance down a bit, yet it is incredibly longlasting, sillage and projection are amazing too. I know tuberose divides the crowds but I love it. Incredible creation. hint: two sprays are more than enough. Overspraying might lead to headaches. Other than that, enjoy this gem. I hope they never discontinue it. edit: wow, I've said it before and I'll say it again... This is a masterpiece in perfumery. I have never had a perfume that is so addictive and intoxicating in makes me feel like I'm on my own personal planet. Whenever I feel like I need something to pick me up and make me feel protected I spray this on. This cloud of honey and tuberose just cuddles me for over a day with just two sprays, one on my wrist and one on my neck... It is simply stunning. A real work of art. I am not one for very sweet or gourmand perfumes, but this is just a must have for me.

I blind bought this because it is discontinued, and I wanted to catch it on my discount site before it was on eBay for some ridiculous amount like $200+ But I’m happy with my blind buy. Honey is one of my favorite notes, but sometimes I’ll say it’s played a little too mature for me. This honey has some juicy fruit (cherry) and yummy vanilla accompanying it, keeping it young. The cherry does not last more than two hours, but it’s nice while it’s there. This is syrupy. There’s a little citrus and spice thrown in here, which while not incredibly pronounced, add some complexity. The lasting power is incredible. I wore this to bed, and it’s still on my skin as honey-vanilla with a small touch of sandalwood and amber, the sandalwood just being a grounding note. On skin, this can last 9+ hours. For the first 4 hours, the silage is strong. I usually do a lot of sprays, but you don’t need that here, 2-4 sprays is adequate. no patchouli, but I wouldn’t have a problem with it if it was here, so maybe someone who doesn’t like patchouli would notice it more. A well balanced honey fragrance that smells like a goddess. This is definitely more of a winter fragrance, but works in the fall as well. I see moon glory in the similar fragrances, but other than the honey I don’t smell much similarity. Moon glory is more of a summer honey, with juicy refreshing lychee, and has a tropical feeling.

Last week I decided to have a long perfume sniffing session at one of the department stores here in London. After hours and hours of trialing almost every single perfume available, I decided that this was the one. I tried the OG, the flankers, the la belles, and this was by far the best performing and the least generic out of all. There was something so deep, sensual, yet playful about this fragrance that drew me back to the JPG counter. I also want to note that scandal by night performed better than both angel edp and alien edp on paper. I was SO excited to buy scandal by night right then and there, but the store assistant told me this perfume had been discontinued. She very kindly suggested that I try the original scandal and even gave me a sample vial of la belle, but these were both lacklustre compared to the dark and sensual scandal by night. On a side note, I don't understand the hype around la belle. It's a very common, cheap fruity floral to my nose. I've hunted down this bottle online and am now a proud owner of a 50ml - I would've purchased the 80ml had it been available, but I'm glad I managed to get my hands on even the smaller bottle. EDIT : get Police Shock in Scent if you can't find this. That one should be called Shockin' Dupe.

So, I went back and forth about wether or not I liked this fragrance. At first I really liked it even though everything in it is very loud. But then one night I didn’t feel so well with a migraine and upset stomach and it made me sick. Don’t ever do that (duh Rosemary) you won’t like anything. But, now I tried it again for a few days and it truly amazing. The cherry and honey blast out in the opening. The cherry fades somewhat but the honey stays throughout the fragrance. Those base notes are amazing. That vanilla, tonka, amber wood, and musk create an almost boozy, caramelized dessert fragrance. The honey and florals do make it a bit animalic but to me that makes it a bit unique. The tonka and nard, and different woods make this deep at the end which keep this fragrance from being too sweet and sickening, I don’t usually like honey in fragrance’s much but when combined with these deeper notes I really like it. This is an audaciously sweet, deep, syrupy, and sexy fragrance. But, I’m also the girl that will something crazy syrupy as long as it’s got something to oppose it. Or sometimes I’m fine with smelling like dessert.

Scandal by Night is currently the best designer fruity honey scent on the market! Or it was, cause apparently it’s discontinued, which is such a shame.. It does smell like an intense sweet, thick, gooey, super rich and delicious cherry dipped into honey. I would say it’s nearly a half and half cherry and honey forward scent. Along these two gourmands notes we have pear, bitter oranges, some citruses and a substantial amount of flowers, like tuberose and orange blossoms plus a healthy dose of tonka beans, vanilla and sandalwood. This smells edible in my opinion, it’s very sweet, dense and delicious. Mouthwatering for sure. Why JPG doesn’t sell this anymore is beyond me! I think it was a bestseller among gourmand lovers and performance is great on me. It projects well and has a good longevity on skin. On clothes is eternal, I mean until you get your clothes washed. Better for cooler weather because if its intense sweetness and richness. Really bummed about Scandal by Night discontinuation. For me it was the highlight of the Scandal line. I will cherish my bottle while it lasts!

The Scandal line has to be my ultimate favorite one to this day. The sweetness of the honey, fruity notes and tuberose/orange blossoms balance each other out so well! Both the sillage and longevity of this perfume are crazy, it will easily last you an entire day no matter the humidity. Reminds me how strong this line's performance used to be before it got reformulated. If you love gourmand, sweet fragnances, this will be a staple in your collection for sure. However, I do not understand why Scandal By Night is loved and has lots of hype around it while the original Scandal EDP gets hated on. Notes-wise, they smell the exact same to me even though I regularly wear either the original perfume or SBN and should be able to notice differences easily. If you love SBN, but cannot find any seller, I would actually recommend getting the EDP. The only reason I could see why this perfume is more loved than the original would be the old formulation of the Scandal line. It has a stronger sillage and longevity while the new formulation is weaker compared. Regardless, JPG never misses! :)

It looks like fragrantica updated the notes here and I can’t say they seem right. I hate patchouli, I can smell even small amounts in fragrances, and it instantly turns into sour bad breathe on my skin. I cannot detect one drop of patchouli in this scent. I can absolutely detect it in the original scandal, which is why I’ve only used a small amount of the only bottle I’ve owned. I’ve owned and used at least 6 of bottles of By Night. It’s one of my top 5 favorites. It primarily has a cherry top note, and a sweet honey musky tuberose base. Orange and the other new additions to the listed notes here are either nonexistent or so fleeting and buried by the main notes that they aren’t distinguishable. Don’t be afraid of this scent if you hate patchouli. It has nothing to do with patchouli, and the JPG website doesn't list it as an ingredient. Also, I'm wondering where the discontinuation rumors came from? This and another Scandal flanker seem to be limited release and aren't widely available, but it's still on the official site and sold by a few different vendors in the US.

Ok yall, I'm on a cherry perfume kick. This one is classy, elegant. It screams I am a classy bitch but I have a playful side. So very well blended. The earthy basenotes in this keep the cherry from being immature or candy-ish. Interesting note, the jatamansi, or spikenard. This is a lovely earthy, grassy, sweet smell. Super in love with this discontinued fragrance, but I will bring hope to those of you who are mourning over the discontinuation. I have found the perfect dupe. Police Shock in Scent For Her. When I tell you dupe, I mean it. Police has a very, very slight more floral edge to it, but minimal. It has the same lasting power. Although the notes for Police don't list cherry, it's in there. It's even red tinged like Scandal by Night when sprayed on paper. Trust me. You will have no regrets at $30 a bottle. Super high quality juice... Update: I have a better clone of this. It's called Chic N Glam Seduction. It's not super easy to find, but if you do and you love Scandal by Night, then buy it. The juice is even the exact same color..

WHY?! Why would they discontinue this? Please bring it back, make it permanent, tried every single dupe I could get my hands on, every cherry perfume that seemed similar, but none of them smell close to this, just bring it back, it was well loved, some of us don't care about passing trends or any of the unnecessary le belle flankers that are churned out, the eggy divine fragrances that are unwearable, the other scandal flankers don't measure up to this, this was my signature scent since its release, I've owned multiple bottles before it was rudely discontinued for insane unknown reasons, they couldn't even tell us why it had to go away, couldn't even give us closure, this seems very dramatic for a perfume rant, I know but this scent was something I truly enjoyed, I went down a rabbit hole looking for something to replace it, I now own dozens of fragrances trying to find said replacement, there are many fragrances I love but this will always be at the top, others may disagree but to each their own.

I blind bought this after i find out that it’s discontinued and watched a lot of reviews about this one. A few years ago i bought Scandal OG, it was my first perfume. A lot of people say that it is very similar to the original one, however I don’t agree. I find the original one to be very sweet and sexy. However, it can be a little too flat for some people, it doesnt have that dept in it. Today i got Scandal by Night and to me this smells nothing like the original one. It is very deep, it smells like a big juicy sweet cherry dipped in wild honey. It gets sweeter with time and it has an amazing depth to it. I don’t really sense citruses in it or other things, but my boyfriend said it smells a lot like an amazing vanilla on me. So i would say the main things that i smell are sour cherry, honey and vanilla. I think it’s amazing for any occasion if you love sweet fragrances, just dont over do it. It is a very very strong perfume.

I’ve just managed to get my hands on an 80ml sealed bottle of this utterly incredible perfume and it is nothing short of breathtaking. Sticky and velvety, like honey glaze, not a loud or sugary honey, it’s refined. The tuberose is not indolic at all, it’s creamy, smooth and beautifully handled. Think plush tuberose, not sharp or dirty. There is a cherry sweetness, but not a cherry note as such. Don’t expect fruitiness. Think instead of the density of cherry, like it’s a deep, dark, almost syrupy richness that adds texture. It’s not gourmand, yet it feels edible almost. It’s a perfume with some serious texture, it’s soft without being weak, powerful without being harsh. Dense, smooth and velvety. Plush in the best kind of way. I will never understand why this perfume was discontinued?! I own Candid Tonight, which is a lovely fragrance in its own right, but beside this? It feels like only a shadow of Scandal By Night.

*STITCH INCOMING* Scandal by Night was my signature scent, but it got discontinued. I started looking for it everywhere since SBN left a void in my soul, but I had no luck. Then, I saw a review that led me to Candid Tonight by Maison Alhambra . I must say, it does smell like SBN but lacks complexity. In Candid Tonight can get all the opening notes from the og, but, unfortunately, it does not evolve. SBN dries down beautifully into a sexy warm vanilla – which is something that does not happen with Candid Tonight. You only have your honey, your cherry, your orange and tuberose until it disappears. Can’t complain since now it’s the only way I can somewhat go back to my now gone signature scent with a great price. It’s not the full SBN experience, but it’s as close as it gets. If you want to smell SBN again, get Candid Tonight.

Good grief this is magnificent. One of 3 samples i received in the mail today and I am hooked. This is an insolence moment. That's what I call it when I fall in live at first sniff no holds barred. I'll do anything to get it, including pissing my husband off by buying a full bottle. Oh just fk me this is pure female glory. I dont even usually like deep or warm scents, although I am ok with Amber and some woods. I have been on the prowl for the perfect cherry scent and have been making do with chocolate covered cherry bbw spray. Which is also very nice and I use liberally when it's cold out. Sometimes layered with aqua di parma rosa nobile. But back to this sexy beast. Its what I was hoping gloria was but she fell short. This just made it into my top 3. This is everything. I can die now.

I love Scandal OG but I LOVE Scandal by Night so much. This perfume is very beautiful and sultry. They're similar in notes but different in consistency. Scandal OG opens sparkly, it has more citrus and dry down is rich sweet honey and licorice. Scandal by Night opens sweeter, I can already smell the honey and less citrus in the opening. Dry down is deeper, darker, richer than the OG and veeryy smooth with adding some vanilla. You have to like very sweet perfume to enjoy this. Since I own and love the OG, I bought this blindly and I am very happy. I wear Scandal OG on summer and By Night on winter because it can be pretty heavy in the heat. I love this better than LVEB, Black Opium, Hypnotic Poison or Poison Girl. Scandal By Night is more complex and unique.

Drop dead GORGEOUS. There have only been two fragrances in my life that were an overwhelming, full-body love at first sniff experience. The first was Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme, the other is Scandal by Night. The way tuberose and honey combine here is everything - creamy, deep, intoxicating. And those ripe dark cherries.. wow. This is coming from someone who is so-so on the original Scandal, with it's high-pitched honey sweetness coming at you 100 miles an hour. Scandal by Night is still a statement, but actually easier to wear, combining honey with all these other facets to make it a full, rounded scent. This beauty has definitely earned it's spot on my favourite fragrance shelf!!

I WILL REGRET EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE FOR NOT GETTING IT 😫🫩🤬😰 God i remember testing it the first time, love at first sniff. She was IMPECCABLE 😫😫😫 I remember thinking that : "Damn,din't remembered Scandal being this intense and even more sweet!", until i realized it was another version of it...... And she lasted so long on my wrist too... WHY JP?!?!?! WHYYYYYYY!?!?!? THE LAST JP SCANDAL VERSIONS ARE STRAIGHT UP WATERED DOWN and pretty generic. You had a masterpiece like this and you GAVE UP ON IT... WHY?!?!?! (Sorry for crashing out on a fragrantica review, it's just i will forever feel incomplete without this angel in my collection... God, Why JP....)
