Scandal Pour Homme Elixir is the parfum-concentration version of Scandal Pour Homme, released in January 2026 by Jean Paul Gaultier alongside Scandal Elixir. Jean Paul Gaultier sees it as an amber, fruity and woody fragrance: a juicy black cherry opens onto patchouli and softens over a tonka bean base. Its crowned bottle comes in a red velvet case.
Sandra Raičević Petrović finds both Elixirs excellent; in the masculine one, she praises a liqueur-like cherry, never sour, melting into a smoky, balsamic base, which she can just as well imagine worn by a woman.
Olfastory’s review
Fragrantica, February 2026
Sandra Raičević Petrović, a devotee of the Scandal line since the first masculine, bought after a single test, finds both Elixirs excellent and the closest to unisex. To her, Scandal Pour Homme Elixir plays the cherry card, more precisely that of cherry liqueur.
She appreciates that the cherries never turn sour or medicinal: they melt into smoky, balsamic depths and a textured vanilla. The patchouli strikes her as bright and clean, far from muddy, and the whole as rich and hedonistic.
She can also imagine it worn by women who enjoy sweetness and fruitiness without a juvenile twist, and who gravitate toward warm, balsamic fragrances with jammy, liqueur-like nuances.
