Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme

Mostly burnt sugar, sticky and rich. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on mandarin orange and clary sage, moves through caramel and tonka bean, and settles on vetiver.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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