What does Scandal pour Homme smell like?

Caramel and tonka bean give it a creamy, sugary warmth. Clary sage and vetiver set that sweetness against a spicy, woody frame. There is also a synthetic gloss, and the whole scent leans sweet, dense and full.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer stays in the background. It is most often chosen for nights out and evenings, and voters read it as masculine and modern. Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal pour Homme Absolu and Azzaro The Most Wanted (Eau de Parfum Intense) have a close profile.
