Summary
Summary
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal is the original 2017 Gourmand Chypre Eau de Parfum created by Daphné Bugey, Fabrice Pellegrin, and Christophe Raynaud. Gardenia gives the opening a creamy floral presence before honey creates the fragrance’s dense signature sweetness. Patchouli forms the darker earthy base, providing contrast and structure beneath the floral-gourmand center. The result is sweet, floral, honeyed, and patchouli-rich with a confident chypre backbone. It suits shoppers who enjoy bold honey fragrances with white florals and a darker earthy finish.
