The new Jean Paul Gaultier eau de toilette for men that causes a SCANDAL. Jean-Paul Gaultier is without question one of the most atypical fashion designers of an entire generation. Throughout his career, he has never stopped landing where he was not expected. At first, this desire to surprise materialized in his haute couture collections.
Scandal is a recent feminine fragrance. However, it is also one of the most famous in women's perfumery. Created in 2017, it was inspired by a creature with two faces: a charismatic and serious businesswoman by day, becoming a wilder night owl by evening. Already declined three times, it notably gave rise to Scandal by Night in 2018, then Scandal à Paris in 2019, and So Scandal in 2020. Today, in 2021, it is men's turn to be honored. Jean-Paul Gaultier gives birth to Scandal Homme. Here is the review of this fragrance.

Scandal Homme, a nod to Jean-Paul Gaultier's history
Scandal Homme is much more than a fragrance. It is above all a nod to the history and to many of Jean-Paul Gaultier's creations. Indeed, throughout his career, the designer has never stopped making people talk, defying established codes and causing scandal. He thus sent men down the runway in skirts, brought people from the street onto the podiums or designed a bustier with cone-shaped breasts for Madonna. Jean-Paul Gaultier never goes unnoticed and the Scandal Homme fragrance is a nod to this limitless creativity. It is intended for an elegant, muscular man, who above all loves to make a spectacular entrance. This men's eau de toilette is meant to be as sensual as it is energizing and addictive. Designed for a man of charisma, it crowns only champions and spreads around it a woody, oriental sillage. Its charisma is undeniable and its presence knocks everyone out!
The atypical, caramelized breath of Scandal Homme
Scandal Homme by Jean-Paul Gaultier is a surprising, gourmand fragrance, built around caramel. While this note is little used in men's perfumery, it occupies a central place here. However, Jean-Paul Gaultier's caramel is never too sweet. It manages to remain chic and blends smoothly with a more toasted, milky tonka bean. Sage lends it a livelier, more aromatic side. Finally, little by little, the woody sillage of this fragrance builds up all its power, in a surge of vetiver.
Jean-Paul Gaultier's responsible approach and Scandal Homme's derivative products
In a more responsible approach, Jean-Paul Gaultier invites you to keep your bottle indefinitely. Its bottle is refillable, thanks to other 200 ml containers specifically designed for this purpose. Likewise, to offer a complete beauty ritual, Scandal Homme exists in two other derivative products: a shower gel for body and hair, as well as a deodorant spray.
A victorious bottle crowned with success
Finally, the Scandal bottle reveals on its own all of Jean-Paul Gaultier's know-how in surprising and astonishing. It is a square case, with broad shoulders, topped with a cap shaped like a dazzling crown. From the very first glance, Scandal Homme plunges us into an atypical, masculine universe: that of the boxing ring, where man reigns like the king of the ring.
