It explodes your head, it’s a wonder. I love everything: from the moment you put it on, that sexy aroma wraps you in red velvet, sophisticated and lustful, making you feel like you have all the power in the world. It lasts 24 hours on skin and clothes until you wash them. The dry-down is gorgeous. Love at first sniff, I smelled my wrist until the day after I bought it. I give it 10,000/10.

Scandal Le Parfum is my favorite; everyone says it’s for night, but I wear it all day and I don’t get tired of it. There are perfumes that should never disappear, I’ve already lost many, I hope they don’t discontinue this one. In love!!

I love it, I adore it. I find it mature yet playful. Without a doubt one of my favorites, please don’t discontinue or reformulate it ever. It’s spicy, sweet, with an incredibly rich twist. I find it spectacular for ages 25 to 40. I’m not much of a designer perfume fan, but this one stole my heart. It makes more sense than its brother Absolu, which is drier and sharper. This perfume is spectacular.

Now I can give my opinion: I like it quite a bit, it’s very sweet, like caramel with vanilla. I feel it tastes rich, even though many say the opposite, I do. It seems very similar to the classic Scandal, well, I love it anyway and I’ll keep giving it a chance. I still don’t know if it will be one of my favorites, but yes, I like it a lot.
Innana
I love it, I feel like a caramel. Sweet, it can be a bit cloying for some. It’s potent but doesn’t last long, so I recommend carrying a pocket sprayer to refresh it every now and then. One of my favorites for sure, I would wear it every day at all hours, even though it’s more of a night scent.

I bought it by mistake, I ordered thinking it was So Scandal and well, I tried it since I already had it and besides, the notes seemed nice… when it arrived I realized it was SUPER similar to one I had smelled before… Hypnotic Poison EDT, it’s IDENTICAL for real. I don’t dislike it but it seems more of the same, it wasn’t what I was looking for. It’s talcum-powdery with a herbal touch (must be the balsamic note giving me that sensation) and sweet. Personally, it didn’t disappoint me because it lasted over 8 hours. Although the sillage is moderate, the longevity is appreciated.

The name doesn’t fit, because this scandalous thing has nothing to do with it, it’s divinely unique, welcoming, SO pleasant. It’s a delicatessen caramel, those finest ones made with selected ingredients, perfectly balanced. Caramel, vanilla, dusted with jasmine and sea salt that aerate it perfectly. I love it.

I love it 🥰. After trying it several times, I finally have it with me. It’s a creamy sweet, nothing like the original Scandal. Addictive and delicious ❤️, I love its notes: on my skin I smell the jasmine, the sweetness of caramel and vanilla, I simply love it, plus the salt balances it perfectly. It’s feminine, sexy, and has noticeable sillage. It lasts well: 8 hours on skin and clothes until the next day. I think it causes olfactory fatigue at first, but yes, it lasts.
Daggie
It’s my favorite perfume ❤️. Its few notes make the final product have a unique and precious sense. The jasmine at the beginning gives freshness to accompany the non-overpowering salty caramel, and the vanilla base is what I love most. Although it doesn’t last or have the expected sillage, the beautiful aroma I won’t trade for anything. I simply love it 🥰.
juliaguilera
The scent is charming but it lasts NOTHING 👹👹👹👹👹
Micas
Worst value for money. I got hooked at duty free, but once I wore it, it felt suffocating and completely overpowered everything else. It lasts two or three hours on my skin before vanishing, and it doesn’t even stick to clothes. What a disappointment 🙁

If you’re looking for a night perfume for a young woman, this is perfect. The vanilla and caramel blend is incredible, followed by a salty note. Just use it sparingly because it’s very heavy. On me, it lasts all night and lingers on clothes. Definitely one of my favorites!
miosvemaca
Beautiful, but it fades before you even realize it.
obsidian_girl
I tried it by chance at a store since I didn’t like the original Scandal, and to my surprise, I loved it. It’s very for night, with prominent caramel and vanilla. It’s sweet, intense, and addictive—elegant yet bold. It lasted hours on my skin. If you like sweet, intense perfumes, buy it blind🩷

I was about to buy it but decided to try it again. It wasn’t great right out of the bottle… but once it dried down, it sounded very similar to Hypnotic Poison EDT.
Mizuki_San19
It’s a truly rich, timeless fragrance—floral, sweet, and slightly cloying, with great evolution. Sometimes the jasmine and vanilla stand out, while the caramel lingers in the air; the salty note isn’t very noticeable, and the fresh, green vibe of the jasmine takes center stage. Lasts over 8 hours with a moderate sillage. So rich 🙂
PerfumeurAmateur
Despite the reviews, I find it lovely. Once dry, it feels like a mix of Dior Hypnotic Poison with a hint of Versace Crystal Noir and a touch of caramel that doesn’t bother me. It lasts me a long time; I haven’t calculated the exact hours yet, but I’ll update if it’s worth it.
laura wonderland
I want to die. I spent money I didn’t have to treat myself to this perfume. I left the store and got home in thirty minutes, and nobody could smell it on me anymore. It’s a burst of sweetness at first, but it can be deceiving, just like it was for me. Terrible longevity. The projection barely lasts half an hour. Not worth the price.
natroj12
Too bad I don’t smell the jasmine, just the vanilla-caramel-salty combo… and I couldn’t handle it. It bugs me, feels heavy, and makes me dizzy… almost like the air freshener on the bus. Ended up giving it away…
AMAYA2009
Intense and sexy to death. I just bought it; I needed a night perfume that was perfect. The charm and difference from the classic Scandal are its intensity and the jasmine; it’s not just caramelized sweetness, it’s also softly floral and salty at the start. Perfect for special occasions. Eight hours later, the scent feels softer and more beautiful.
LetLR14
For gourmand fans: starts with a potent jasmine that didn’t sit well with me, then reminds me of Hypnotic Poison. As it dries, the almond note I hate from Dior doesn’t show up; only caramel toffee remains. On my skin, it projects well and lasts, but smells unsophisticated, artificial, and easy to mimic with any vanilla body mist. Nothing spectacular.
meilee2004
Undoubtedly the favorite, period. ❤️
Poly1979
Reminds me of Hypnotic Poison but as a modern version. I already own Scandal and So Scandal and love these different flankers. Here, I notice that Kenzo Amour plasticine-like vanilla mixed with Hypnotic. The scent is sweet, elegant, powerful, and lasts on skin and clothes. Pure love.
danynitro90
I don’t understand the hate for this perfume. It smells delicious; I bought it for my partner and it was a hit. Smells like toffee caramel with a touch of coconut. It projects a lot and easily lasts 10 hours. Depending on pH, hydration, or batch, but if your girl likes caramelous perfumes, it’s a total win.

Sweet and intoxicating, just like Hypnotic Poison. A bit cloying but addictive; I’d wear it at night in open-air spots. Reminded me of old perfumes, ‘femme fatal’ style, lol.
Belenperfumada
It’s spectacular! I loved it at first sniff. It’s interesting how it changes over time, very elegant and sensual, a fragrance you can’t stop smelling. Maybe it’s not exotic or very original, but it’s totally addictive and super versatile.
nympphie
Overrated, boring, and common. I wanted to try it because of the good reviews, but it’s generic; I’ve smelled it on more than 50 people. It doesn’t stand out, smells artificial, isn’t natural or wild vanilla, seems lab-made. The caramel is fake, the salt is just decoration, and the jasmine is poorly executed. There are no natural notes. It lasted less than an hour, smells like a closet or grandma’s clothes. It doesn’t resemble Hypnotic Poison, lacks its own character, and is too timid.
chiaritalos
My favorite by far. Although its sillage and longevity are moderate, unlike the original Scandal, the scent is unique and super addictive. On my skin, it lasts about 6/7 hours and the sillage is only for the first hour. The price is high for its longevity, but the scent is worth it; it’s super unique, I didn’t smell it in any other fragrance, and I’d buy it again despite the negatives.
Monty Phyton
Pleasant enough. The jasmine, caramel, salt, and vanilla blend perfectly. It doesn’t last long; I have to reapply frequently. It evolves well, becoming more powdery and balsamic. It’s not overwhelming or synthetic, it’s addictive and seems to have it all, but it’s not for me; I need a perfume that gives me euphoria and makes me feel alive. It’s not the scandal Raphael sang about. Like the girl on the bottle, I’m looking for that vibrant spark. 5/10.
