Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal

Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier is an iconic chypre floral fragrance for women, launched in 2017 and created by Master Perfumers Daphné Bugey, Fabrice Pellegrin, and Christophe Raynaud. This is the first Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance developed in partnership with PUIG, offering a modern, seductive, and sophisticated scent that celebrates bold femininity and playful elegance.

The fragrance opens with vibrant top notes of blood orange and mandarin, creating a sparkling, citrusy introduction. The heart blends honey, gardenia, orange blossom, jasmine, and peach, adding soft, floral, and gourmand nuances. The base notes of beeswax, caramel, patchouli, and licorice provide a warm, woody, and long-lasting trail, reflecting the brand’s signature sensuality and bold character.

Scandal breaks conventions – the scent is modern, spicy, and festive, combining deep woody undertones with sweet and floral accords. The bottle features transparent glass with a sculptural golden stopper in the shape of female legs, highlighting the playful and provocative nature of the fragrance.

The advertising campaign tells the story of “Madame La Ministre,” a woman who parties through the night in Paris’ Pigalle district and returns to her office in elegant style. Model Vanessa Axente embodies the campaign’s mix of sex, politics, and urban glamour, perfectly reflecting the vibrant and daring spirit of Scandal.

Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier is the perfect perfume for women seeking a modern, spicy, and seductive chypre floral fragrance with gourmand sweetness, woody depth, and playful sophistication.
