One Step Closer to the Throne
It's no secret that the original Scandal pour Homme wasn't that good of a perfume. It was synthetic, sweet, bland, and it just didn't really feel like a high quality fragrance. But Scandal pour Homme Le Parfum takes the original Scandal pour Homme and improves every aspect of it by a bit.

The opening will still have some of the synthetic feel of the original, but toned down a bit. And with Scandal pour Homme, the tonka bean sweetness would immediately push through, blending with the synthetic accord. But it's not the same with Le Parfum. Here, I get a much more prominent and potent geranium, which gives the fragrance a spicy and citrusy profile. But the little tonka bean that there is here smoothens things out. And as the fragrance settles, you get that woody, musky and slightly spicy vibe from the sandalwood. It does feel somewhat better blended than the original Scandal pour Homme, but I also seem to go nose blind to it much faster than with the original. While I would say that it does smell a bit nicer than the eau de toilette, I'm still far from impressed.

The longevity here does impress, though. The fragrance held on for about 10 hours on my skin, which is again, a bit better than with the original. Projection is also praiseworthy for the first two hours, leaving a nice trail behind and filling the rooms I entered. But after the first two hours, it was very tricky to tell just how much more was it still projecting. Since I went nose blind to it rather quickly, I needed a couple of friends to tell me from time to time if they could still smell it. But it seems that they also faced the nose blind issue, and after the first two hours, they could barely feel it anymore. But given how good projection was initially, I doubt that the fragrance became a skin scent so quickly after, so my nose blindness is to blame, and I'm sure that it was still fairly noticeable for those who weren't constantly around me and smelling it.

In terms of occasions where you could wear Scandal pour Homme Le Parfum, the same ones that applied to the original also apply here. Leisurely, daily wear, work, parties, clubbing... you could even rock it at more formal gatherings if you'd like (I wouldn't, though). It's a pretty versatile fragrance, and given its overall improvement over the original, I'd say that it's much easier to wear to a broader selection of scenarios.

But still, I'm not really a huge fan of this DNA. It doesn't smell bad at all, but it's not exactly my style, which is why I'll probably never consider buying a full bottle. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't consider it. On the contrary, if you liked the original Scandal pour Homme, but you wish it wasn't as synthetic, then this is quite literally that. There's really no reason to get the original anymore; Scandal pour Homme Le Parfum is better in every way and it's definitely worth trying if you just want a good, versatile perfume.

Dark, opulent, mysterious
To me this fragrance is very underrated.
I can see what people mean when they say "looks like One Million, The Most Wanted...", that's kind of same family but Scandal is the Big brother of this family.
Much less sweet, more mature, sexier, darker.
You will wear it during cold days or night time.
It's so masculine and very modern (not old daddy) at the same time.
Give it a try guys and let your nose be the judge.

The boy turned into a man!

Scandal Le Parfum is a much better fragrance than its predecessor, Edt. This time Le Parfum no longer has that cloyingly sweet, synthetic base of Scandal Edt. Le Parfum has these notes of geranium, tonka bean, and sandalwood very well connected here in this fragrance. The scandal LP has a more mature sweetness, and the sandalwood here has a more liqueur side. Overall the perfume is more mature, sexy, and at the same time mysterious. And I'll tell you a secret! He is king of compliments!

The performance is worthy of the house of Jean Paul Gaultier, that is, high level on my skin for 10 hours on average. And with a strong projection of 2 hours, and then it becomes golden on you.

A true Club night perfume!

Le Male DESTROYER
Scandal Le Parfum is a stunning release from Jean Paul Gaultier. It’s deep, sweet, floral, dense, mysterious, dark and seductive. It’s definitely like the original, but made more serious and dark. Fragrance opens with a coconut-like smell that I’m not a true fan of, but after a few minutes the coconut smell turns out to be dense geranium-tonka combo. In middle the parfum becomes less sweet, more floral and deep, the more sandalwood starts to show, the better fragrance gets. The fragrance is for more serious gentleman who’s still seductive, In my opinion confident women can definitely use this fragrance as well. Season wise it is suitable for Winter, Fall and Spring or even for the cold Summer nights. This fragrance shines in the night, This fragrance is for seducting people. If you want to buy an everyday fragrance, Le Male’s would be a better option. Performance is BEAST. Even close to Le Male elixir while being less sweet. Lasts more then 12 hours on my skin, easily fills a room without overpowering someone. A head turner for sure. I bought it for 70 euros 50ml, Imo definitely worth it but I’m sure you can find cheaper offers for the fragrance. Le Male Le Parfum was my favorite from JPG, but after smelling this fragrance, I just found my signature scent. Definitely smell before you buy it, It’s a very dense fragrance that needs to be tested first.

Similar to the original Scandal, only with a slightly less synthetic opening, more geranium and woodier base. Definitely better than the EDT

If you liked One Million Lucky, and you like JPG's DNA, this is the one. This is what I'd expect if Le Beau Le Parfum had a black bottle.

An overdose of geranium makes for a very overbearing mess to this version.

The most mature version of the Scandal line, but it's undoubtedly still very good, not really for me tho
