Scandal Intense

Nothing alike like other scandals that didn’t stand out for me. But this one, it’s something else, original : it’s amazing. Best combination of my favorite flowers ylang and cardamoma. It makes it sweet without being extra gourmand. It’s subtle but yet a pleasant light and perfect mixture ; its projection was intense for first few hours and longevity great. I can see why so many people are disappointed : i first tried out of a tester from the store, the fragrance was really intense, but once i bought it and i got to try it from my new bottles. Performances were nothing alike and much weaker; perhaps because the tester in the store have « macerated » enough since there for few days already. I can’t wait for mine to reach its full potential. I would advise you to go in a store and try it out ; not to judge directly out of the new blind-ordered box.

This is a creamy vanilla with hints of flowers and a light spiciness. There’s nothing scandalous about it at all. Rather, it’s cozy and autumnal. I don’t know if my nose is broken, but I can’t understand those who say it’s vulgar. It’s definitely sweet, perhaps too sweet for those who prefer something fresher and lighter. But for me, as someone who loves vanilla, spiciness, and distinctive perfumes, this falls into the category of safe and everyday. I would have liked to see more cardamom. It’s there in the background and gives the scent a cozy vibe. It adds a very light and pleasant depth of spice, but overall the fragrance feels very safe for a JPG. The longevity is there, it lasted the whole workday but didn’t scream for attention. It’s soft, creamy, and pleasant. I can see this as my signature scent for autumn!

Better name would be So Scandal Intense because they are sharing same dna. Jpg discontinued so scandal and released scandal intense. Who knows why... So lets say so scandal could be perfect day scent and intense-night time.. Bottle is beautiful, amazing color but do not match the scent to be honest. I expected much darker, vulgar or bit witchy scent. About the scent...a lot of tuberose and bit of cardamom in the opening, then ylang ylang join the party. In the try down we got honey, vanilla and maybe sandalwood too. Drydown is simmilar to scandal absolu but not that sweet, less honey.

Update i purchased that one first time on march from a french retailer ; batch code is 50171. And performs well, is very strong projecting. I was amazed and a month later went to buy another one (as a back up), this time from a renown discounter batch code being 50361. And it’s very weak in comparison : barely there, faint, and disappears faster than a body mist. So i understand better the different ranking regarding its performance. Felt like a waste of money the second time. But overall still my signature smell, obsessed about this vanilla

This perfume has impressed me to the core. I bought it yesterday and I don't regret it for a second, despite the fact that the reviews are not impressive. It seems that there are much more notes than indicated in the pyramid. Maybe it's just how it reveals itself on me, but the aroma is incredibly lactone, languid and deep. If you sniff it, you can feel a cool ice cream. I feel like I'm eating ice cream in the garden of a thick and dark summer night, surrounded by the aroma of white flowers. I highly recommend trying it on your body.
