CreamyWhat does Scandal Elixir smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. It is aimed at women.
It opens with blackberry, moves to an iris heart and rests on patchouli. The floral and fruity accords meet a sweet, creamy texture, with spicy and synthetic touches alongside. Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Paradise and The Dua Brand Error 421 Elixir have a close profile.
