About This Perfume
Think sweet caramel latte with a woody vetiver finish: that is Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme. It opens with mandarin orange and clary sage, moves into caramel and tonka bean and settles on vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for date nights and nights out. Released in 2021.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike gourmand fragrances.
Around $129.

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.
