Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal

Mostly thick golden sweetness that turns slightly animal at higher doses. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on blood orange and mandarin orange, moves through honey, gardenia and orange blossom, and settles on beeswax, caramel and patchouli.

• blood orange: orange with a darker, slightly berry-like sourness
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
