Scandal Extase is the feminine flanker that Jean Paul Gaultier adds in 2026 to the Scandal line, paired with Scandal Pour Homme Extase. It is a fruity amber composition built on three notes: an apricot nectar in the top, benzoin in the heart, patchouli in the base, a raw material that links it to the 2017 Scandal. Mallorca Duty Free presents it as a limited edition; the house has not yet opened a product page.
Apricot, benzoin and patchouli
Scandal Extase belongs to the fruity amber family. Its composition holds to three notes, one per tier: an apricot nectar in the top, benzoin in the heart, patchouli in the base. The fruit opens the fragrance; the balsamic resin of the benzoin and the patchouli give it its amber foundation.
No supporting raw material is named: it is unknown whether the apricot is an accord or a natural extract, and the nature of the patchouli is not specified. The published list is limited to these three raw materials, one per tier.
Patchouli, a thread through the line
Patchouli links Extase to the 2017 Scandal, which the house described as a gourmand honey laid over gardenia and a sensual patchouli. Scandal Elixir, released in January 2026, also carried it, alongside blackberry and iris, in a fruity amber chypre.
What is left out
The honey and gardenia of the original do not appear in the list, nor does the blackberry from Elixir. The formula’s detail, the perfumer and the ingredients list will complete this portrait when it goes on sale.
