Scandal Intense joins the Scandal line by Jean Paul Gaultier in 2025, launched in a feminine version in 2017 and since expanded with several masculine iterations and flankers, including Le Parfum, Absolu and À Paris. The house unveils this new opus alongside Scandal Pour Homme Intense.
The house credits Daphné Bugey, Fabrice Pellegrin and Nicolas Bonneville, the latter appearing only in the house credit. Jean Paul Gaultier positions Scandal Intense as a continuation of the Scandal universe, built since its launch around a femininity claimed as transgressive.
Jean Paul Gaultier presents Scandal Intense as a spicy amber floral Eau de Parfum Intense, whose experience is summed up, according to the house, as a creamy journey toward cardamom, carried by a vanilla absolute. The brand emphasizes the sensuality of ylang-ylang, described as an extravagant explosion.

The Scandal Express, private night train
A film directed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch depicts a nighttime journey aboard the “Scandal Express,” set to the electro track “Requiem” by Lascinski.
The campaign for Scandal Intense was published in France in April 2025 by the Colors agency for Jean Paul Gaultier, according to Ads of the World. The film is directed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, a fashion photographer and director known for luxurious imagery in service of narrative; no face of the campaign is named.
The film depicts, according to Packshot Mag, a journey aboard the Scandal Express, a private night train where passengers experience a night presented as decadent, in keeping with the transgressive universe of the Scandal line.
The soundtrack is built around the track Requiem in its Scandal Techno Mix version, by Lascinski, an electro-techno piece that accompanies the film's images, according to Buzz Webzine.
