Scandal Elixir Parfum is a parfum-concentration version of Scandal, released by Jean Paul Gaultier in January 2026 alongside Scandal Pour Homme Elixir. The house describes it as a fruity amber chypre: a gourmand, tangy blackberry opens onto iris and rests on a patchouli base. It places it in first class on the Gaultier train, in a pink velvet case.
Sandra Raičević Petrović finds both Elixirs excellent and the closest to unisex in the whole line; in the feminine one, she praises a powdery, slightly animalic iris and a wild, undergrowth blackberry.
Olfastory’s review
Fragrantica, February 2026
Sandra Raičević Petrović, who never misses a release in the Scandal line, finds both Elixirs excellent. To her, they are the versions closest to unisex, and the ones that take the biggest leap forward compared with their predecessors.
In Scandal Elixir, she finds the powdery iris of Rabanne’s Fame Couture, a house that also belongs to Puig: a slightly animalic iris with a fur effect. She finds it, however, sweeter, much more intense and more faithful to its own lineage.
Along with Scandal Intense and So Scandal!, she counts it among the best in the line. She concludes that it is a beautiful composition, well worth trying and giving time to unfold.
