Jean Paul Gaultier's provocative house sensibility carries through to So Scandal, released in 2020 as a bold addition to the brand's fragrance lineup. The designer's fearless approach to femininity finds expression in a scent that balances sweetness with sophistication.

So Scandal opens with bright orange blossom and tart raspberry, immediately establishing a fruity-floral character that feels both fresh and indulgent. The heart deepens this with creamy tuberose and jasmine sambac, while raspberry threads through to add complexity and prevent the florals from becoming too heavy. A milk base anchors the composition, softening the white florals and creating a creamy, skin-like drydown that emphasizes the fragrance's tactile sweetness rather than projection.

This is a scent for someone who appreciates florals with personality and depth, particularly those drawn to creamy or gourmand leanings. It works best in cooler months when the creaminess reads more intentional than cloying, though the citrus-raspberry opening keeps it wearable year-round. So Scandal aligns with The Heirloom, The Raconteur, and The Romantic scent profiles.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Raspberry
Raspberry
Bright, tart, and slightly jammy, raspberry adds a vivid fruity pop that is harder and more energetic than peach or apricot. It's a signature note of modern fruity florals and adds an accessible sweetness that broadens a fragrance's appeal. Best used with restraint unless you're deliberately going for big and fun.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Jasmine Sambac
Jasmine Sambac
The smaller-flowered Asian variety of jasmine used to scent traditional jasmine tea, with a sweeter, more honeyed, and slightly fruity character compared to Jasminum grandiflorum. Jasmine sambac has a lighter, more transparent quality with a tea-like freshness alongside its floral richness. It is the defining jasmine of South and Southeast Asian perfumery.
Raspberry
Raspberry
Bright, tart, and slightly jammy, raspberry adds a vivid fruity pop that is harder and more energetic than peach or apricot. It's a signature note of modern fruity florals and adds an accessible sweetness that broadens a fragrance's appeal. Best used with restraint unless you're deliberately going for big and fun.
Tuberose
Tuberose
One of the most intensely floral natural ingredients in existence, rich, creamy, and almost narcotic in its sweetness. Tuberose is polarizing by design: it's meant to be enveloping, not background. It has rubbery, vanilla-like facets that make it feel both sensual and slightly retro.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Milk
Milk
Warm, slightly sweet, and comforting, milk in perfumery is achieved through lactonic molecules that evoke fresh dairy with a gentle creaminess. It adds an intimate, nurturing quality that makes fragrances feel skin-close and gently sensuous. Often combined with musks and vanilla to create the clean skin family of contemporary fragrances.
