Scandal Elixir: three notes to say it all (or almost) in 2026, Jean Paul Gaultier releases Scandal Elixir in Parfum concentration. The pyramid? Blackberry, iris, patchouli. Three notes. That is all. After years of Scandal built on gourmand-complex compositions (honey-caramel-orange blossom-peach for the 2017 original, tuberose-black fig for Absolu 2024, jasmine-salted caramel for Le Parfum 2022), here comes a radically simplified version. Almost minimalist. But does it work? Yes. Surprisingly well, even.
