What does Scandal Le Parfum smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, with spring second and summer well behind. It is chosen mainly for nights out and evenings, though leisure and daily wear have a place too. Most voters find it feminine.

Jasmine and tuberose form the floral backbone, while sandalwood gives them a soft woody footing. Honey, salted caramel, tonka bean and vanilla bring out the sweet, creamy side, and a powdery softness wraps the whole.
