Jean-Paul Gaultier is an illustrious figure in fashion. However, he is not only known for his clothing creations. He is at least as famous for his audacity and his innate sense of scandal! Indeed, throughout his career, he has never hesitated to surprise his audience. It is therefore only natural that he designed a feminine eau de toilette named Scandal, in 2017. Among the house's olfactory best-sellers, this fragrance has continued, since its release, to be reinvented, year after year. In 2022, its naturally sulfurous breath intensifies. Jean-Paul Gaultier gives birth to Scandal Le Parfum.
Throughout his career, Jean-Paul Gaultier is without doubt one of the designers who has had the most outlandish ideas. He first put men in skirts, before crafting a corset with conical breasts for Madonna. Then he did not hesitate to blur genders, nor to have people off the street walk the runways... Jean-Paul Gaultier loves causing a scandal! It is therefore only natural that he designed Scandal Le Parfum. So, let us see more precisely what lies hidden in the composition of the enfant terrible of fashion...
The lively and incisive mandarin of Scandal Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier
In perfumery, most fragrances open with the fresh breath of citrus. Indeed, these ingredients are without doubt the most used in current fragrances. They are an effective way to awaken the senses and bring a more airy touch to fragrances. For Scandal Le Parfum, perfumers Daphné Bugey, Ane Ayo and Fabrice Pellegrin chose mandarin. A citrus note, it is meant to be both fresh and candied. Its caressing sweetness also brings a luminous radiance to everyday life. With mandarin, Scandal Le Parfum would even make summer shine in the heart of winter!
Jasmine, a luminous breath in Scandal Le Parfum
Then, Scandal Le Parfum takes on the scent of one of the flowers most used in women's fragrances: jasmine. Recognizable by its white petals and star shape, jasmine is widely used in feminine compositions. Deep and sensual, it is also very sun-kissed and sometimes fruity. Its green and animalic notes make it a sulfurous element, ideal for heightening feminine sensuality. Delightfully honeyed, jasmine perfectly introduces the gourmand aspect of Scandal Le Parfum. Opulent and persistent, it also brings it a certain presence.
Salted butter caramel, a hint of gourmand indulgence
Then, it is in its heart that Scandal Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier reveals its full addictive potential. So that women can no longer do without it, it relies on a more gourmand and enveloping aspect. It notably contains salted butter caramel. From then on, it becomes literally impossible to resist! With the addition of this ingredient, Scandal Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier becomes warmer and more enveloping. It releases a sweet breath, without leaning toward excessive sweetness. Scandal Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier is meant for a woman who fully embraces her sexy side!
Scandal Le Parfum and its suave vanilla
Finally, the animalic aspect of this creation fully reveals itself in its base notes. Scandal Le Parfum releases the effluvia of one of the orchids most prized by perfumers: black vanilla. Highly valued for its many facets, it can be balsamic, more woody, earthy, animalic or sun-kissed. Undeniably, Scandal Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier plays in the register of temptation!
