Jean Paul Gaultier
Scandal Pour Homme Intense
Scandal Pour Homme Intense is the Eau de Parfum Intense that Jean Paul Gaultier launched in 2025 in the Scandal pour Homme line, signed by Quentin Bisch, Christophe Raynaud and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto. The house ranks it among aromatic leathery woods: a fresh clary sage, a soft leather, a burning vetiver. The black striated bottle, topped with a golden crown, comes in 50, 100 and 150 ml.

Where to buy
Scandal pour Homme is the men's line that Jean Paul Gaultier has been building since its caramel Eau de Toilette, extended by Le Parfum in 2022 and by Absolu at the end of 2024. Scandal Pour Homme Intense arrives in store on March 31, 2025, together with Scandal Intense for women.
The king of the Scandal Express
The house boards its fragrance onto a night train, the Scandal Express, where the journey matters more than the destination. The most unrestrained passenger has only one desire, to cause a scandal until the end of the party, from the sleeper car to the bar car, and its sillage, the house says, is everywhere.
Jean Paul Gaultier announces a leathery wood of total excess, unruly, with an outrageously addictive sillage. It sums up the material in three strokes: the softness of an intensely sensual leather, the woody vertigo of a burning vetiver, the aromatic freshness of clary sage.
Three perfumers for a measured intensity
Quentin Bisch, Christophe Raynaud and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto sign the formula, as stated by the house, ELLE.be and Trucs de mec. ELLE.be describes soft leather accords carried by vetiver and aromatic sage, an appealing result heightened by a raw touch.
The house places the fragrance at the third degree of intensity out of the five in its range, below Le Parfum and Absolu. It classifies it as woody aromatic leather; Wikiparfum, which likewise sets its story aboard an endless train, ranks it among woods.

Aboard the Scandal Express
2025 campaign shared with Scandal Intense: a night train, Malika El Maslouhi and Louis Baines, a film that Oliver Hadlee Pearch directed according to Packshotmag.
Jean Paul Gaultier launches Scandal Pour Homme Intense together with Scandal Intense, its feminine twin, in a joint campaign called Scandal Express. ELLE.be and Numéro Netherlands describe a very private night train, a realm of decadence, where passengers defy propriety for a one-way trip toward pleasure.
The film follows Italian model Malika El Maslouhi, muse of the Gaultier Express, from the sleeper car to the bar, with Louis Baines on her heels. The chase turns into dance, up to a door draped in red velvet where a fragrance as wild as the night awaits them, according to ELLE.be.
Packshotmag credits Oliver Hadlee Pearch, of the production house Colors, with directing this flamboyant film, seeing in it a flamboyant journey to the end of the night. Both fragrances arrive in store on March 31, 2025, according to ELLE.be and Numéro Netherlands.
