So Scandal!

After a lot of wearing this new beauty (because I have from January) I'm absolutely amazed and pleasantly suprised that this is NOTHING like the previous editions, it's a totally new perfume ! So Scandal ! opens with a strong and sweet orange blossom note,this opening is familiar, and it reminds me the original Scandal but without the stickly honey & sweet notes and it also reminds me dark grape candies. After this it start to be a lot more floral and opulent ,now the tuberose is the main note (it's a bubble gummy sweet tuberose) mixed with the orange blossom.The whole composition is sweet and floral (reminds me Elie Saab perfumes) and the key note is definitely the tuberose. A lot of people saying that there is no honey which is true but I can smell a touch of honey sweetness in it.The raspberry is not super real ,it just add a fruity sweetness which is present from the beginning till the end. I can smell a woody (tiny bit earthy) patchouli note which is mixed with the heady floral bouquet ,this gives to the composition a woody character. The milk note gives a silky and very smooth dry down ,and it's NEVER get too sweet or cloying. It's an incredible feminine and powerful ,independent scent. The sillage and longevity is absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !! it stays on the skin 24h which is incredible (on me !) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO TRY IT for those who don't like the original and the other editions (or for them it's too much honey and too much sweetness) and for those who like sweet tuberose/orange blossom based perfumes ( L'interdit ,Elie Saab Le Parfum,Lady Million ,Gucci Bloom etc.) Perfume for every season and all year around but def.best is spring/fall 👌❤

Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable How long lasting this fragrance is The best best best tuberose fragrance I’ve tried in my whole life The reason i bought this fragrance is that when i smell it it just smells like my childhood in our village here in Saudi The tuberose here is nostalgic soo much to me Do u know what ? Not just me even my mom and my aunt both of them thinks that it smells like our house in our village in the countryside the south of the saudi arabia The lasting power is incredible i swear to god this fragrance lasted 4 days in my shirt i shower everyday but i meant a suit i have i wore it put this fragrance i changed my mind about my outfit i put it back in my wardrobe and a whole week the area around my wardrobe just smells like so scandal the sillage is beast fills anywhere you go after that it becomes just a WIDE trail but because it’s a really fruity fragrance sweet and fruity notes appear more than soft musk florals in the air Everyone in my family loved this fragrance specially my grandma U just need to know smthng abt my grandma she is the biggest hater for vintage and outdated fragrances anything released before 1996 smells dated to her and she’s the biggest fan of modern fragrance that means so scandal really smells modern the tuberose isn’t dated at all Unfortunately it’s discontinued here in saudi but a really close fragrance to this vibes is my way og fruitier version of so scandal but I can’t say that my way also has this nostalgic feeling that i get so well in so scandal Longevity 10/10 Scent 9,5/10 Sillage 7/10 Uniqueness 5/10 Price 5,5/10

My heart SANK when I found out this was discontinued. Luckily there's still some listings and I managed to get another bottle. Man I love this a lot, it's a very powdery, almost musky raspberry liqeur kind of smell. At first it might read off as a grape soda and at first that's all I could smell with this perfume but the more I try to smell past the muskiness of it, the more identifiable the raspberry becomes if that makes any sense? It's quite alcoholic too but in a way I like. It's almost sickening and headache inducing to smell directly skin to nose because of the alcoholic muskiness of it but it is HEAVENLY from the bottle and the projection isn't as offensive at all. This thing is strong and has serious lasting power, so I'd definitely advise not to spray too much and at a further distance from the skin than normal. The idea of raspberry liqeur or boozy raspberry perfumes have been done too many times but this combination of musky florals with it just transcends it to a whole new level - this coming from someone who doesn't like or appreciate florals that much. I guess me also loving the smell of grape (synthetic or not) contributes a lot to me liking this perfume as well, so if you don't like a grape soda-ish kind of smell I would avoid this because that comes across way more easily than the raspberry does. JPG I know you're reading this, bring this back immediately or else.

This is sooo enticing and intoxicating.. to say I love this fragrance is an understatement - kicking myself I didn’t get a larger bottle because it was a blind buy. Straight from the opening from the bottle/cap you get a sweet raspberry gummy lolly/candy - but it doesn’t feel juvenile, it feels like a lolly just for adults or something, like an adult cartoon. For the first bit I get a lot of that Pure XS orange blossom and tuberose with the raspberry lolly - the milk lurking in the background adding to the creamy tuberose - almost smells like the florals have been dusted with icing sugar and milk powder - I don’t get too much of the Jasmine. It dries down to something so magically milky and creamy - like a warm glass of milk with honey stirred in or condensed milk accompanied by a sweet raspberry tea before bed. There’s something so warm, fluffy and cuddly about this scent - but it’s not so overbearingly sweet. For some reason I feel like the Nurse from the Blink-182 album would smell like this. It’s so sexy but comforting at the same time - I’ve never smelled anything like this and feel it’s very unique and definitely will make you stand out. Longevity is good wore it to bed and could still smell it in the morning - my fiancé says he can smell it a bit when there’s some distance but lovely and strong up close. I don’t mind it. Beautiful scent 10/10.

This was an unexpected love and started for me the love for sweeter perfumes. I enjoy the raspberry tuberose milk combination. Yummy! So Scandal is indeed similar to Armani's My Way, but has some deeper and sweeter note in the base (liquorice?) that makes it more kind of interesting and seductive than My Way. I also see how this can remind one Prada Paradox, but i wouldn't say they are really similar. So Scandal actually gives me a bit the same vibe as Hot Couture EDToilette by Givenchy, because of that contrast between raspberry and a deeper base note (in Hot Couture its raspberry vs smoky base) This is very potent perfume, so it suites better for colder weather and I need only a few sprays of it otherwise it can be too much! The longevity is also good - on blotter it stayed for about 4 days, on my skin I feel it the whole day until the next morning. I have three of the Scandal's collection: OG, By Night and So Scandal. I'd like to have Scandal a Paris, but the price now is shockingly high! So if anyone knows a good cheaper analogue for ''a Paris'', please share! Scandal Le Parfum is nice too, but i have recently bought DG pour femme which kind of reminds me of Scandal Le Parfum, but without powder note.

I’m rarely disappointed with JPG, and this one is no different, she’s beautiful. I have a deep love for bubblegummy/grapey tuberose, and that is very present here. The tuberose is pretty heavy on the initial spray, but that quickly begins to blend together heavenly with the other notes. For me the raspberry stands out next, then it settles with the remaining notes. I still can smell it on my clothes the next day. By then it was a really fresh/clean scent, which really surprised me. I assume that was the orange blossom/jasmine at the end. Prior to getting So Scandal, My Way Parfum was my signature scent. I still love her, but So Scandal has taken her place. They incredibly similar, don’t get me wrong. So Scandal just feels a bit more versatile, almost seeming appropriate for any occasion. My Way Parfum can also interact with my skin in a weird way. If my skin isn’t perfectly, freshly clean, it can interact with something in My Way Parfum to become just off smelling. She also does NOT play well with other fragrances (I get the same odd smell mixing ANY other perfume). I mention all of that to say I do not get it with So Scandal. She’s just perfect for me!

This was love at first sniff for me, I think its my favorite of the line with Scandal Intense coming in a close second. Just a burst of sweet floral from the get go, then it dries down to (In my opinion) a more sophisticated creamy floral that lingers for a good few hours, and then I get a clean sort of scent like just washed clothes right at the end. Im not sure why theres a raspberry note listed. Raspberry to my nose has a distinctive smell which I can usually pick up and often times is quite off putting to me, but I'm not getting that here. Its also not listed on the notes on the JPG website either. I can definitely see why it could be jarring for some people. Is it work-appropriate? Hmm, I'm not sure. Perhaps just a spray or two to test the waters, as it is quite strong, but it would be date night approved for sure! Highly recommend giving this a test in store before buying it, but overall I really love this fragrance, ill come back to edit the review if I change my mind or something happens. Longevity is about 3/4 hours on me, id give the fragrance a 8/10.

To say that I LOVE this perfume is an understatement! I was wandering around taxfree smelling different perfumes to pass the time when I just happened to try this one on. It immediately blew me away! I’ve never tried anything like it, it’s very sweet but in a fresh way. Smells almost like raspberry soda to me. A very distinct smell that stands out. As I was trying to save some money I chose to not buy it then and there (which was super hard) but I could not stop thinking about it and several days later after being tormented by this perfume (in a good way) I finally caved and bought it. Best decision I ever made. It’s also super long lasting. My clothes still smell of this perfume two days after spraying it on only ONCE. Both my sister and my mom love this one and we rarely agree on scents as we have different tastes. But this one was a winner for all. I do not own the other Scandal perfumes so unfortunately I cannot compare it to those, but if you love sweet, fruity, raspberry scents then I definitely recommend you get this one! You won’t regret it!

To me this perfume can be easily described in one word-“happiness”. It is cheerful, vibrant, energetic. An instant mood lift. In the winter I use it mainly for the gym since it does have a little bit more of a soapy, clean feel to it (probably like the person in the last comment mentioned due to the white florals) but in summertime-OMG! First of all one of the biggest compliment getters, as a matter of fact I got it because me and my mom were at a restaurant where a woman was wearing it and we couldn’t stop talking about her perfume so I asked her what it was. But even if we put the compliments from both genders aside, this is a playful, youthful but still in my opinion classy scent that just brightens your mood. The longevity and sillage are amazing. It is still noticeably in my hair the next day and on clothes-until you wash them. I have not a single bad thing to say about this perfume other than I cannot wait for summer to come so I can wear it more! Btw: me (25) and my mom (55) both have it and it sits beautifully on both of us!

LOVE!!! It has been a while since I bought a fragrance and immediately thought "oh shit, I need a backup bottle of this immediately." I had a sample, bought a 50ml, and I already want more to ensure this is in my rotation for years to come. :) This is exactly how I want to smell all Spring and Summer. It is sooo addictive, straight out of the bottle it smells fantastic (even pre-drydown) and has a surprisingly long-lasting creamy fruitiness from start to finish. It's fun and sexy. Nothing sharp about it whatsoever. It reminds me of youth and a vivid scent memory of this cheapie body spray "Juice Bar, Raspberry Pear" I think was legit marketed towards children at the time. But a grown up version with feminine white florals and lactonic vibes. After wearing sweet heavy fragrances all winter, I get to still keep the sweet-train going without feeling weighed down by syrupy-ness. This is not cloying to me. It's just perfect. Can't rave enough. If you're a fan of fruity white florals it's a no brainer.

This fragrance came as a surprise to me. Based on the fragrance pyramid and main notes I wouldn't choose it for myself but I needed something stronger for spring/summer. And decided to try this one. I agree with some that it opens with a synthetic raspberry but I don't mind it, it's still quite nice and gives this clean note at the beginning. The whole fragrance is so nice although it doesn't last long on my skin (maybe 2-2.5 hours). The dry-down though... I sprayed it on my clothes as well. And to my surprise, it was so alluring and sensual. I didn't know what the smell was until I checked the clothes I sprayed the day before. Yes, it was So Scandal. I think this one is the best from the whole Scandal range. I even wanted to buy Scandal Original but after reformulation, it's quite generic without this (stronger) honey note. I also think it's for a mature woman or formal occasions. This one, on the other hand, is still youthful, but not girly anymore. Sensual and flirty. I really like it.

This one is by far my favourite from the Scandal line. I have the original Scandal and Scandal By Night and I regret those two so, so, so, much, especially because I blind bought the largest bottles and that was definitely a mistake. The honey is just overwhelming in both Scandal and Scandal By Night. I'll wear them, they're not bad fragrances, but I have to be in a very specific mood for those, whereas So Scandal! is a lot more versatile and I reach out to it much more often than the other two. Yes, this also means it's a little more generic, in a way, but I personally don't mind that. I certainly prefer this over the other Scandals. It's also a lot younger aromatically speaking which I love. I only wish I bought this one first because most likely I wouldn't have tried the other two Scandals if I had and I would've saved a lot of money :(

On separate occasions, I have had 2 girls come up to me to ask me what I was wearing cause they went completely crazy over this. It was one of the few times when people actually went out of their way to ask me, without the usual “oh you smell nice, what is that?” No. These girls were like mesmerized and kept smelling on my neck while their eyes where rolling into their head. I mean, one of them was also shamelessly hitting on me, but I can’t say that I was complaining. Anyway, yes this is super nice, very sweet, long lasting, I would say it is definitely a going out scent. I only have a decant of 15ml of this, but will eventually get a big bottle, even tho I have the 80ml ByNight version of Scandal. Update: recently bought a 50ml bottle, I just love it :) 10/10 compliment getter

I love this perfume! This is for those special occassions like date night.I see someone wearing a dress or going out to have fun, not for serious events. It's very strong, 3 spray is already too much if youre in a closed environment. It can get too annoying if you spray it everyday. It doesn't smell mature but definitely for someone over 18+. I think the raspberry and milk in this is a match made in heaven. This is my favourite out of all the other flankers of Scandal. If you love sweet, fruity and lactonic scent this is for you! It's a beautiful and elegant scent, super high quality and smells different from the rest of designer fragrances. Only complain is the smell of the dry down, it smells synthetic but that's after 8+ hours of sitting on ur skin/clothes. I recommend this!

Raspberry floral smoothie. It gives me Burberry Her Elixir vibes, Not My Way and not Ari. It does seem like it fits in well with the Scandal collection because the dna is in there just the slightest bit in the opening, but that's only for a millisecond. This is a velvety white floral, juicy candied raspberry, and fresh creamy vibe. All of the notes are blended into one another very well to make a smooth, sweet and a tiny bit fresh fragrance. It's suitable for all seasons and being that I purchased in February, I'm excited to wear in the spring and upcoming summer. I will definitely need to purchase a new bottle to have for fall and winter as I am 100% positive it will be siphoned out by then.

It’s a strong like in my book! It’s not your average fruity floral or they tuberose that everyone is putting out right now. It’s almost a bit sour but NOT in a bad way, it comes from the raspberry that’s right up front. It is a great everyday all year round fragrance. Longevity on me is between 4 to 6hours not super long but perfect for summer. You will get noticed and this leans on the feminine side but anyone can wear this. I love how this dries down I get the laconic note (milk) and it softens the sourness of the raspberry. I will always have this in my collection, it’s a fun fragrance to own nothing to serious but just fun. Highly recommended 10/10 going to buy another bottle!😉

my go-to perfume! it’s just perfect for me. i love a good floral and fruit combo. i especially love the raspberry note, which is what makes this distinct from other white floral fragrances. it lasts about 6 hours on my skin. the only downside is that i wished the projection was a bit stronger. nevertheless, i’m in love with this perfume and it’s my everyday perfume for a reason. i think it’s appropriate for any occasion and i can see myself wearing it all year, even tho this is leaning more towards a spring scent. i feel very pretty wearing this perfume! i like to layer this one with other perfumes as well, especially armani’s my way. definitely my favorite jpg fragrance

@Meredithe Gurl... yeah my way does smell pretty similar wdym I appreciate your thoughts but we all have noses and wore this scent before i know what im talking about my way is a good alternative to so scandal just not as beautiful and way fruiter but the tuberose ? They have the exact same tuberose note so scandal is creamer more jasminy and refined less generic and pretty well blended tuberose a bit soaper and not as generic and the fruitiness is coming from the raspberry My way is fruiter and and more generic way less depth suits younger people more and has that ambroxan generic feel that i get in irresistible givenchy Im comparing them side to side

If you like sweet, then you'll love this. It's all creamy, fruity and floral at the same time which I absolutely love! It gives this joyful vibe that makes you smile every time you smell it! I don't like the term beast mode, but trust me this is IT. It projects so well and lasts all day. I was wearing it the other day and someone complimented the smell as they walked into the room. Smell: 10/10 Value: 10/10 (some niche perfumes don't last as long as this.) Sillage: 10/10 (Just like every other JP perfume) Longevity: 9/10 Compliments getter: totally! Every time I'd wear it! Would I repurchase it? Yup! About to finish my second and get the third.

Okay, I was discouraged by the reviews of this perfume. Plus I have the original Scandal so I did not want to be put off by the Scandal family. My sister has Scandal by Night and she absolutely adores it and it is quite different and unique from the original Scandal. I finally got to purchase So Scandal and it excites me, everytime I put it on. I have received so many compliments and I'm so happy I purchased it. At a point, I did not like it because it smelt too generic but I got use to it and I love it. Especially because I'm taking a break from the original Scandal. It reminds me of Killian Love Don't be Shy without the candy/marshmallow.
