What does Scandal pour Homme Le Parfum smell like?
Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, with evenings and nights out leading and office wear trailing far behind. It reads masculine and modern.
It opens on geranium, turns sweeter around tonka bean in the heart, and dries down to the woody warmth of sandalwood. Sweet, gourmand and spicy accords lead, softened by a powdery, creamy touch. Edward Bess Spanish Veil and Christian Louboutin Loubiprince have a close profile.
