About This Perfume
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Gold comes across as Golden honey tea, saffron spice, soft rose leather. It opens with honey, saffron and cardamom, moves into cypriol oil or nagarmotha, jasmine sambac and rose and settles on leather, patchouli and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2021.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length.

Top and base of the picks
Expect sweet honeyed vanilla with spicy tobacco from Le Male Elixir (2023), opening on lavender and mint and drying down to honey, tonka bean and tobacco. Le Male (Eau de Toilette, 1995) is described as cool mint and lavender, sweet vanilla spice; lavender and mint up top and tonka bean, vanilla and amber underneath. For Le Male Le Parfum (Parfum, 2020), think warm vanilla cream dusted with cardamom powder, with cardamom first and vanilla and oriental woods at the base.
