Scandal must be what fragheads refer to as "screechy". The caramel sweetness combines with the aromatics to create a nose-tingling and head-splitting concoction. The bombastic opening is reminiscent of Paco Rabanne Phantom. I am not a fan of sickly sweet scents such as these but I would pick Phantom over this if I had to. These scents smell like something children would wear but apparently adult men wear them to go clubbing and to impress the ladies. If I understand correctly, men wear sweet scents only because women like sweet scents and they want the ladies to move in for a whiff. To that I say, it is a good thing men do not have to dress like women to attract them.
After angrily writing my testing notes this is the first review I read, and they're carbon copies of each other. First thought was "did I accidentally grab that horrible Phantom sample again?!". Rolled my eyes and now I'm sad to see Gaultier having slipped so far in to bland synthetic oblivion.. Where have the days of Kurkdjian's original formulation of Le Male gone..? Maybe I'm just getting old, who knows.
