The Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance that causes a scandal in Paris! Scandal is a perfume signed Jean-Paul Gaultier, which appeared in 2017.
Why choose the Scandal à Paris fragrance by Gaultier? Jean Paul Gaultier is a designer often nicknamed the enfant terrible of fashion. It must be said that he does nothing conventional and cares little for the conventional codes of luxury! Jean-Paul Gaultier never misses an opportunity to surprise his audience, yet remains highly regarded. After putting men in skirts or dressing one of the biggest stars on the planet in a corset with pointed cups, Jean-Paul Gaultier found it entirely natural to create a fragrance named Scandal. Originally created in 2017, this fragrance is now back in the spotlight and is now called Scandal à Paris.
Olfastory’s review
Scandal à Paris, a fragrance at the heart of political current events
While politics is often considered a taboo subject in France, Jean-Paul Gaultier here takes on the wild bet of addressing it with self-deprecating humor. It takes far more than that to slow the couturier down in his extravagance, and Scandal à Paris is a fragrance that plays more than ever with the political troubles of the moment! The idea is bold and, it must be acknowledged, brilliantly orchestrated! Scandal à Paris depicts a businesswoman with two faces: a minister by day, she transforms into a femme fatale by night, fully embracing this very flashy and seductive side. One could almost believe she is the perfect counterpart to our dear Minister Castaner!
The surprisingly luminous sillage of Scandal à Paris
In terms of scent, Scandal à Paris also does not fail to surprise. While it announces a very flashy and sexy woman, it places itself well beyond clichés and delivers a bright and luminous scent. In other words, Scandal à Paris does not tip over into an overload of pheromones and manages to find the right balance between femininity, elegance and provocation. It takes up the codes of the previous Scandal while having its own personality. From the outset, it relies on a very fruity and juicy pear opening. Its heart, meanwhile, relies on the opulence of jasmine. This star flower of perfumery is ultimately wrapped in honey. The result is a gourmand and addictive composition, while still preserving a good dose of freshness.
The return of Jean Paul Gaultier's head-turning bottle
Finally, as for the bottle, no major change at Jean-Paul Gaultier. It must be said that Scandal à Paris needs nothing more to surprise us. If you have always wondered where the legs of Jean-Paul Gaultier's bust-shaped bottles were, well, it seems we have found them… The bottle of Scandal à Paris is topped with a pretty pair of legs, as if a woman had fallen backward into her bottle. Its pink base is very feminine, while its cap relies on a silvery, very contemporary metal. Undoubtedly, the Scandal à Paris fragrance seems well able to turn our heads!
