A Scandal has emerged at Jean Paul Gaultier! Jean-Paul Gaultier is a designer who loves to revisit great classics and bring a distinctly offbeat edge to them. He never hesitates to blend genres in each of his shows and to establish a thoroughly erotic mood on the most prestigious Haute Couture runways.
Several years have now passed since the house of Jean-Paul Gaultier had crafted a genuinely new perfume. Indeed, the house had accustomed us to reworking its most famous references. Now, a new pillar has just appeared on the market and joined the great perfumed house of Jean-Paul Gaultier. It is named Scandal and comes in a bottle that is rather astonishing... A feminine figure seems to have slipped into its cap, as though she could not resist the call of this new perfume. So let us take a closer look at just what formula managed to sweep her off her feet to such an extent...
The composition of Scandal
Scandal is a perfume that plays on two distinct olfactory registers. It is both chypre and particularly gourmand. It owes its sweet character to the presence of honey at the center of its formula. Nevertheless, it dares to work the gourmand facet in a resolutely modern way. Thus, Scandal is not a perfume for “little girls.” It speaks to women who own their identity and displays a powerful, elegant sillage. The whole reveals warm nuances, at times deep and often woody. Scandal's femininity emerges from every angle and is expressed in particular through a huge bouquet of white flowers, largely dominated by gardenia. This plant, with its vegetal accents, is both tenacious and highly summery. It suits the free-spirited frivolity of the Jean-Paul Gaultier woman to perfection, trailing an airy, free spirit behind her. Patchouli then gives structure to the whole formula, lending it a slightly earthy quality not devoid of refinement and elegance.
Jean-Paul Gaultier rides the gourmand perfume trend
If Jean-Paul Gaultier decided to craft a gourmand perfume, it is simply because women adore them. Yet some twenty years ago, no one thought this olfactory family would achieve such success... Gourmand perfumes emerged thanks to designer Thierry Mugler and his iconic, legendary fragrance: Angel. At the time he created it, no one bet on its future. In fact, many perfumers refused to collaborate with him on this project. Too bad for them, as they seem to have been quite mistaken... Gourmand perfumes are today the best-selling category in women's perfumery. Nevertheless, as always, Jean-Paul Gaultier does not simply settle for following current trends here. In our humble opinion, he demonstrates profound boldness and manages to renew this already widely explored olfactory category.
So, what are you waiting for to give in to temptation and treat yourself to this brand-new, scandalously striking perfume?
