Preliminary exercises for a new podcast

"Dennis, what is a scandal for you?"
"Ask me something... yesterday I read that Coke Zero is not healthy... artificial sweetener can damage the liver and pancreas... but well, 'nen real scandal... that goes differently."
"Mia-Chanty, what do you think?"
"Sea rescue."
"Nah, don't get political now! We want to do a podcast about a new perfume, guys. You want to put Jeremy to shame!"
"Power! Sex! Yeah! I wanna tongue-kiss a beautiful woman!"
"That's right, Dennis, that's what he would say."
"He'd say, 'Hey, guys, this stuff smells incredible... it's such a... wow... panty-dropper.
I'm smelling candy, I'm smelling sugar, I'm smelling tonka bean... oh yeah.... you know I look better in my videos after having had sex... but... well... yeah... this one... get it, guys, get it. Seduction in a bottle."
Whew.
" What about gender stereotypes, anyway? "
"Mia, what do you think?"
"Well, doesn't it perfectly dissolve the very stereotypes we decry? The scent is sweet, it deliberately defies categorization.... - could that be the scandal?"
"Maybe in the advertising industry, directing its message at people who haven't taken a seminar in gender theory and still feel hip in 2021 wearing an ultra-sweet fragrance as a man.... so 1991... if you ask me...".
"Hasn't the Gaultier been banging out fragrances like this a lot?"
"Yes, he has. He also put 'n man in a full bathtub of roses and created a fragrance to go with it that referenced Baudelaire and even dared to make a pun...".
"Dennis, since when do you know something like that? You didn't get that from Jeremy...".
"Nah, I picked that up from some Intis in a chat on Parfumo somewhere."
"Quentin Biesch stands for super-modern fragrances. He himself is not even 40 and is considered the prodigy of the industry. He's just done a good job on the brief... a penetrating fragrance that ties in with familiar, which partly picks up the ingredients of the eponymous Gaultier - women's fragrance and which becomes slightly spicy in the base...".
"Does anyone smell ambroxan?"
"Yes, icke... but very subtly."
"You know about that, Dennis."
"Yes, two years internship in Holzminden..."
"Who would you recommend Scandal to?"
"To everyone who likes a sweet, caramel almond simpley scent that gets a little spicier in the base. To everyone who isn't too embarrassed by the bottle...."
"Yes, it looks mega-prollig."
"Mia, now that's not politically correct....".
"I think that thing is creepy."
"And the boy with it? In the commercial?"
"It's just the target audience. Definitely better looking than Jeremy, though...".
And on that, now a triple "Power, yeah! Sugar, yeah! I wanna have...?"
Yeah, what is it?
A pacifier.

That takes the cake

There are those fragrances where the product marketing doesn't pick me up at all and I end up standing in front of the shelf at the local perfumery with my mouth wide open, my entire posture signaling desperation and need for help. "Scandal" reminded me first and foremost of Alice in the girly variety, stuck upside down the rabbit hole, but that didn't help me even back in 2017. What is this little crown of a scandal supposed to report to me now? Yes, it almost borders on scandalous that the valued customer is misled with abstruse associations and fantasies.

A red box with coronet welcomes me, is it in royal red? One does not know it so exactly. In any case, the letters remind me of a British brand of sports and leisurewear of sometimes dubious reputation, at least as far as some of its wearers are concerned. This ingratiation is a scandal, at least a minor one. Inside, a solid bottle with silver-grey liquid and gold emblem with lettering and a crown on top. If I'd studied the tabloids in the waiting room of my dentist's office, I'd have figured out which crown this piece of work reminds me of. Yes, we already have gold bars, trophies and cups, we need more, we put a crown on it. It's all there! But who the hell knows Clive Christian?! Besides, this crown is much bigger and much nicer! A push on the unfortunately rather inferior atomizer brings out only bigger drops. A scandal, not at all sovereign!

The first sniff hits you like a whole, hard, a very hard chunk to hot caramel. It's sweet, and it gets sweeter. Of a synthetic sweetness that hardly suggests sugar in it, but all sorts of sugar substitutes from the lab, which are then used in American confectionery and soft drinks. However, without any fruity additions. At most, there are synthetic vanilla or tonka flavors involved and something I can't name. It is supposed to simulate something spicy, but which fortunately keeps me clearly in the background. More happens then also not.

The fragrance starts strongly sweet, becomes a little sweeter and then decreases in intensity. More does not happen there. Good 8-10 hours long.

For the target audience who is looking for a certain stage of development of a fragrance and only wants this one linear fragrance, it must be the fulfillment. For those who carry an inner Monk around with them, for whom the development of a fragrance with its different notes and progressions means physical torment, this fragrance must be salvation.
For sons who are pampered by their mothers and carried on hands, who are the very sweetest thing in the world, royal children, crown princes, future family princes, who have already imbibed their status with their mother's milk, this bottle is the epitome of their being, this fragrance is a reflection of their essence. This fragrance will once again amplify and manifest their appearance, as bombproof as caramel can pry out any seal.
The consumer of this perfume is truly not looking for a scent experience, the scent is just meant to stick to them unchanged all day, to make them seem sugary sweet, and Scandal manages to do that for almost an entire day.

I could have titled this review "crown of creation", but that would have put this fragrance in a completely wrong light. Because there must still be room for at least one "Night" and one "Intense" version.

Scandal in the sweeping district

"Scandal Pour Homme" at least has an advertising campaign to match - incredibly striking, immature and ultimately meaningless. Each still so arbitrary sailor derivative is there miles ahead!

The fragrance itself is one of the most synthetic and scratchy caramel commanders of the olfactory modern era. When pubescent shampoo meets cheap dessert from the discount store, when pudding not only wobbles itself but just this also makes heads. No need to draw niche or snobbish lines at all - this one is an imposition even for the lowest drugstore drawer. Werther's Inauthentic. Migraine fire accelerant. Stomach-turning. Not even player, more of a poser. Please let your teenage sons wear better!

Flacon: cheesy and unfunny
Sillage: snobbish and schlotzig
Durability: 7-8 hours

Conclusion: a new low for JPG. Makes his name all honor - scandalously annoying, cheap, plörrig!

Who buys that? Knocked out in the first round.

A rhetorical question, because of course there will be buyers for this fragrance, I have in mind 15 to 21 year olds who dream of fast cars with loud exhaust pipes, love to watch knockout videos on Youtube and have routine in shisha building; who mistakenly believe to have with it a clear upgrade to their AXE deodorant and the (by AXE) advertised, irresistible effect on the ladies (or girls?).

The bottle is strongly reminiscent of D&G's "K", but the fragrance can not win even the comparison to "K" for itself, only in the durability he pulls away. Bottom line certainly not a repulsive or per se bad fragrance, very caramel, so sweet that you can hear his pancreas groan. For me, he jumps then but too much in the triangle between sports locker room, candy department and a testosterone sweat-soaked f*ckboy sweatpants.

Nothing scandalous, nothing polarizing, felt already umpteen times smelled (including at the three-letter Deohersteller), although I'm not a perfume fanatic who could list off the cuff fragrances on which this is oriented (where as the first Armani - Stronger With You Absolutely came to mind, which, however, is clearly more complex) I am sure that this olfactory experience brings no new facets in the world of fragrances.

Would he cost a third of its price he would certainly be an interesting gift for pubescents, but in this price league gives unfortunately the knockout in the first round.

A flop like Kokorico? I think not!

From the first time I saw that there is a new release for men from the house of JPG, which for once is not a "Le Male" Flanker I was hooked.
The last time that JPG released a new fragrance line (Kokorico) it flopped very hard and the sales figures were disastrous So it came to that I one day in the perfumery of my confidence a thick bottle with a crown saw.
Admittedly, the flacon can act quite machohaft, however, I felt him as appealing and he liked me really well.
I sprayed him on a test strip while I already felt the observing looks of the female employees.
From the first moment I liked this sweet mixture of caramel and tonka bean very much. For me, it smells a little like Stronger With you Intensely.
I can understand that many people in our community consider this fragrance very
"mainstream" and boring, however, I am sure that people outside of the perfume enthusiast bubble will find this fragrance very pleasing and appealing.

Conclusion :
A successful fragrance that does not reinvent the wheel, but for what it should be (a Crowdpleaser) does a more than good job
