About This Perfume
Scandal By Night by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Scandal By Night was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Daphné Bugey. Top notes are Honey, Bitter Orange and Citruses; middle notes are Cherry, Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Pear and Nard Himalayan (Jatamansi); base notes are Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Amberwood and White Musk. Scandal By Night comes out in August 2018. This edition will be the first flanker of the new perfume from designer Jean Paul Gaultier, the gourmand chypre scent based on the note of honey named Scandal from 2017. While Scandal was announced as a free-spirited fragrance, the new edition is described as ultimately unbridled and unchaining. The campaign continues to tell the story of Madame La Ministre; a high-ranking official by day, and a bustling party woman visiting the Pigalle district in Paris when the night falls. Her fragrance is potent, sweet and opulent. Top notes: citrus, honey Heart: tuberose, nard Base: patchouli, tonka, sandalwood Scandal By Night is available as a 30, 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

The verdict
Best for
Jean Paul Gaultier launched fragrance with Classique in 1993 and Le Male in 1995; the house has since built one of the strongest designer-gourmand catalogues, currently anchored by the Scandal and Le Male families. Scendira lists 208 JPG fragrances with 34 in stock, priced $35 to $207. The catalogue leans gourmand-feminine on average (the Classique / La Belle side outnumbers Le Male in SKU count). Community top five in stock: Scandal Pour Homme Absolu (chestnut caramel sandalwood, 2024), Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum (geranium tonka sandalwood, 2022), Le Beau Paradise Garden (mint ginger coconut fig, 2024), Scandal Pour Homme (caramel latte vetiver, 2021) and Le Male Essence de Parfum (leather cardamom vanilla, 2016). Le Male in its EDT form remains the historical anchor, a mint-vanilla-lavender that defined 90s masculine gourmand. Bottles are the sculpted torso and bust icons.
