What does Scandal à Paris smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter close behind and summer trailing. It is chosen more for leisure, evenings and nights out than for the office, and most voters call it feminine.

Honey comes first, then pear in the heart pushes the scent towards fruity and gourmand. Jasmine in the base strengthens the floral side. The sweetness carries a fresh note, though a slightly synthetic tone sits in the background. Zara Juicy Infusion and Zara Sultry Pear have a close profile.
