We think some scandals should be shared, repeated even. Not Kimye, Britney’s conservatorship or even Taylor having to re-record, like, every single song, because, you know, Scooter Braun…obviously. But Jean Paul Gaultier’s new Scandal Le Parfum…definitely.
Feminine and free, the voluptuous scent opens with notes of sparkling mandarin and radiant jasmine. A decadent blend of salted caramel with sweet black vanilla creates an indulgent and sensual vibe that is intensified when notes of warm and rich amber waft in. The overall effect is powerful, unapologetic, gorgeous and addictive. And why not?
After all, the eau has been purposefully mix-mastered by a trio of elite French perfumers, Daphne Bugey, Ane Ayo and Fabrice Pellgrin and is embodied by none other than the Vogue-favoured cover model Imaan Hammam. It’s also captured in the Parisian brand’s iconic curved glass bottle, this time in flaming red and features Scandal’s pair of golden glam legs, dancing in the air. The best part, every time we spritz a little on we feel a bit more confident, a whole lot bolder and very much alive.
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Le Parfum EDP, $122 for 50 ml, $158 for 80 ml, available at Hudson’s Bay and Shoppers Drug Mart.
