I own all three, and in my opinion, this is the sparkliest. The scent is exquisite; the plum melts with the chestnut with a powerful sweetness. Excellent projection and longevity. Suitable only for autumn and winter, preferably for night. If you like sweet fragrances, I recommend it 100%.
I loved this perfume: very sweet, woody, and delicious. Recently, Jean Paul Gaultier has been on fire, along with Le Male Elixir, the best from the brand.
A proper flanker: Scandal DNA with more fruit, more wood, and more autumn-winter than its predecessors. Sexy. Good performance, though less than the original.
Tested with 2 sprays. It’s a Scandal EDT but with a chocolate note and slightly more powdery. They’re 90% identical. Both are very good. This one has a more nocturnal touch, while the EDT feels more original and radiant.
Intense, long-lasting, projecting fragrance with all the characteristics everyone blindly seeks nowadays. It delivers on everything. The only ‘but’ is the sweetness, which is too sharp. It becomes more tolerable after three hours, but it remains very intense. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it and wouldn’t pay the asking price under any circumstances. If you like ultra-sweet profiles, you won’t be disappointed; it’s a bomb.
Scandal Absolu, as its name suggests, is an absolute scandal. Impossible to fail. It’s the king of the line. At first, you feel the Scandal DNA with a fruity touch from the mirabelle plum, then the chestnut appears, giving it an exquisite creamy note. I sprayed 5 times (3 on skin, 2 on clothes) to go out at 8 PM and felt the scent the whole way; it’s very sharp. Upon arriving at my destination, after an hour and a half, I got several compliments saying it was noticeable from several meters away and flooded the room. On the way back, I still felt it very potent. The next day, after about 12-13 hours, I only started to perceive it weakly and close to the skin; the sharpness disappeared, leaving just fruity and creamy. If I hadn’t taken a shower, it would have lasted even longer. I had been waiting for it and as soon as it arrived, I rushed to buy the 150ml as a birthday gift. Scent: 9/10, I don’t give it 10 because it’s very incisive. Longevity: more than 12 hours on skin. Projection: at least 4-5 hours, it’s a beastmode (watch out with the sprays). Price: 7/10, it arrived a bit expensive compared to past launches.
If you take the fruity aspect out of Le Parfum and add a juicy plum at its peak sweetness, you get the Absolu. As they say, it’s an absolute scandal. I’m not a fan of how it settles on cardboard, but on skin and clothes, it’s insane. I bought the bottle and must say, the plum gives it an incredibly rich syrupy note. My family has a plum liqueur my grandparents made over 40 years ago, and this perfume reminds me a lot of that. The woods add a masculine kick, and while I love chestnuts, I’m sticking with the plum, which is the note I like the most. It’s new, try it on skin or cardboard because the wood is very noticeable. I still have the jacket where I tested it, and after buying it and spraying it on another outfit, that jacket still smells like Scandal Absolu. A matter of taste to choose between this and the EDT/LP. All three are good and have their audience. I think this one is special, though a bit pricey. I see it more for an older guy who wants to look young, or someone in their 20s. A typical youthful fragrance for partying or getting attention from women. No nonsense. I disagree that it’s leaning feminine unisex. I think it’ll be the perfume of the year.
A beautiful fruity-woody perfume where all three notes blend perfectly: the dominant, fleshy, and sweet plum; the chestnut with its crunch and powdery sweetness; and the creamy, smoky sandalwood. The result is a fragrance rich in textures, pleasant, warm, youthful, festive, sweet, and sensual, with a unisex touch. I love the bottle’s color, which represents the fruit and liquor. It’s nocturnal and youthful.
Spectacular.
Scandal Pour Homme Absolu is a sweet, fruity, balsamic, and woody fragrance. It has a sweet and fruity opening, likely from the combination of plum and chestnut, with part of the Scandal line DNA. For the first few minutes, the sweetness is intense and caramelized; in fact, that’s how I imagined the Scandal Pour Homme EDT would smell, but that version is less sweet than Absolu. After a few minutes, the woody and balsamic accords intensify, providing a warm and pleasant sandalwood aroma. For me, this is the sweetest version of the Scandal Pour Homme line, and it’s ideal for cold weather seasons like autumn and winter, as well as parties or night outs. Its longevity is good, exceeding 8 hours, with strong projection in the first hours before retreating to sit closer to the skin. It’s a good fragrance, however, my favorite from this entire line remains the first version.
This is my first Scandal and I was instantly blown away. The woody and fruity sides are very prominent. Longevity is top-notch and the projection is excellent.
Spectacular, smells like Natura juice.
I don’t understand the sandalwood note. To me, the woody scent is sharp and bright; I know sandalwood can be creamy, but I haven’t found any woody tones in this perfume. Comparing it to Le Beau LP, that one clearly distinguishes the woods, so I’m confused. Setting that aside, this is an extremely fruity fragrance: the plum opening is simply delicious and makes it the most different of the three Scandal versions, yet you can clearly see that DNA. Good longevity and projection; it lasts over 12 hours with about 3+ hours of sillage.
Great perfume, but be careful—it’s extremely sweet. The price is a bit high.
I don’t understand how people like this fragrance; it repulses me. It smells like cheap jelly, full of sugar and synthetic flavorings. It’s an extremely fake plum, like in Bad Boy Cobalt, but this combines it with a horrible, cloying, disgusting sweetness. Longevity: ≥8 hours (normal-dry skin). Projection: Heavy ≥2 hours (normal-dry skin). Scent: 3/10 (nothing masculine, synthetic, and cloying). Beastly longevity for such a disgusting perfume. I’m wearing it because they gave it to me to try and I wanted to get it off, but I had to write this review.
Smells amazing; I’m not sure if it’s my nose, but it reminds me of One Million Perfume when drying. Honestly, it’s a fantastic fragrance and a compliment magnet. It lasts more than a day on the skin even after showering, with about 6 hours of projection. It’s an amazing scent; for me, it’s the best Scandal. Besides these, it’s the only one that doesn’t seem unisex.
At first, the scent is quite rich, too rich. Then, a smell of burnt sugar starts to emerge and lingers as the base for about 8 hours. If you want to smell like burnt sugar all day, this is highly recommended.
I bought it a couple of weeks ago for a very particular reason. On my way to run an errand, I passed a perfumery and couldn’t resist trying something unknown. They showed me Pasha Noir Edition (I’ve already talked about it) along with the EDP (I have the EDT and wanted the EDP), so I tried both to convince myself. Honestly, I was really eager for the EDP, but it died on my skin very quickly; this one, in particular, surprised me a lot because in the tester, barely a mini spray came out (plus they didn’t aim well, about 50% of the spray landed on my arm), yet it smelled intensely all night, lasted through a shower the next day, and by the third day, it was barely noticeable after two showers. Some might not like it, but it’s the first fragrance I’ve found with that beastly performance. I got lucky with the first batch, although it smells less potent than the tester. That leaves two possibilities: testers have something ‘magical’ that boosts the fragrance, or the tester oxidized and brought out its best. I’m going with the second option; definitely worth a try.
Although it reminds me of the original, this one has that fruity twist. It’s a sweeter take, just like perfumery has evolved over time. I’m sticking with that fruity note it adds and that base which sometimes leaves a slightly fresh yet creamy impression. Its heart is like Scandal EDT mixed with hazelnut, but with those twists, for me, it’s much better than the other versions. Good perfume.
Total surprise. I only detect the chestnut, and barely any sweetness—pure chestnut. I get a slight hint of sandalwood, but I don’t identify the plum. Totally justified echoes of Stronger With You, of course. Unisex leaning masculine, and I absolutely don’t perceive it as “scandalous.” Try before buying, but if you like the chestnut aroma, you have many chances of being fascinated by it.
The original Scandal Pour Homme is my favorite, but I tried a decant of this new flanker a few months ago and it gave me a headache: it smells like a slap in the face (hence the boxers in the marketing? lol). They took away the tangerine freshness and made it sweeter than the original, which for me became excessive. The scent has something weird I can’t quite decipher, maybe a smell of burnt chestnut mixed with sandalwood; I don’t like it and I think I’d get tired of it quickly. I suppose it would suit some teens going out at night. I’ll have to give it another try, but for now, I’m sticking with the original, which is much more balanced without needing to be intense, parfum, or absolu.
A sweet fragrance; I wouldn’t recommend it for a sunny day. It’s a very rich scent that suits cold weather better; also, it’s a perfume for going out at night, more for couples or evening dates. I’ve used it on these occasions and received compliments. Longevity is very good; it stays impregnated on clothes.
If you’re a young person looking for what perfumes to buy, this review might help. It’s a SWEET but VERY SWEET perfume; if you don’t like sweet scents, don’t even look at it. It starts with a sweet citrus note that I can’t quite explain but is very addictive, gradually transforming into woods and giving it a more mature character while still feeling youthful. From my perspective, it’s an all-rounder (excluding daily wear); it works for dates, events, and parties without issues. As long as you pair it with the right personality, this is an excellent option. If you live in hot areas, don’t use this under any circumstances; in open spaces at 86°F (30°C) with careful spraying, it’s fine, but in hot enclosed spaces, it’s a death sentence. Personal rating: Scent: 10 (It’s my favorite sweet perfume), Versatility: 8.5, Longevity: 9, Projection: 8 (It’s a Scandal, so it projects by default, but the EDT projects much more).
Very sweet and mature fragrance, exquisite scent. It doesn’t feel very youthful to me; I’d say it’s for +30s. Good longevity and projection.
One of the most sensual perfumes I’ve ever tried. It fills rooms and leaves a trail wherever you go, sticking to your skin all night and on your clothes for weeks. A brutal sweetness—I won’t promise it won’t give you a headache. I’m not too sure about the notes everyone claims to detect, but if you’re a virgin and want to stop being one, this is your perfume.
I’ve been wearing this fragrance for a while, and honestly, it’s completely provocative. I’d say it’s aimed at a younger audience, like the rest of its flankers, because it’s an extremely sweet perfume. That’s why we say it’s 100% for going out on cold nights or summer evenings with low temperatures; without a doubt, you’ll be the center of attention. It’s a fragrance that challenges and plays with its compounds: it starts with a supremely fruity opening with sparkling vibes; the dry down brings in sandalwood, tonka, and honey after about 2 hours, creating a creamy, highly attractive trail that makes it a sensual scent alongside a faint whisper of plum. It’s a perfume that, with appropriate sprays (10), will easily last all night. In my opinion, it’s definitely a 10/10, the best in the line.
I don’t know why people go into a collective hysteria when someone says “something” and everyone nods… IT’S NOT SWEET! It’s a woody/aromatic fragrance, very similar to YSL’s L’Homme Intense Parfum, but without the ambergris sweetness that the discontinued version had. It’s a really good, truly concentrated perfume where the “Parfum” nomenclature is actually respected.
If a man walked down the street smelling like Scandal Absolu in the eighties, people would have stared in bewilderment. A masculine fragrance smelling of ripe plum, roasted chestnuts, and creamy sandalwood? In an era dominated by leather, oakmoss, and lavender fougère, that would have been unacceptable. But things changed. Some perfumes dared to break the mold. Mugler’s Angel (1996) was the first to raise its voice: with its explosion of caramel, chocolate, and patchouli, it gave sweetness a legitimate place in high perfumery. Then came Givenchy’s Pi (1998), more discreet but equally revolutionary: it brought vanilla, benzoin, and almond into a masculine language—warm, mysterious, futuristic. Thanks to them, sweetness stopped being taboo. Since then, men could also smell provocative, appetizing, seductive. Scandal Pour Homme Absolu is the most refined result of that journey. From the very first instant, the Mirabel plum unfolds its mature, luminous sweetness. Then the chestnut appears as a warm, creamy, almost culinary heart, adding a comforting and addictive touch. Finally, the soft, rounded sandalwood provides an elegant base, preventing the sweetness from spilling over. There’s no leather. No tobacco. No need for anything else. Because Scandal Absolu is the culmination of all previous flankers. It’s more refined than the original and warmer than Le Parfum. It’s the definitive formula. Anything coming after will just be unnecessary repetition. No Elixir, Intense, or Essence in the line will surpass it. This perfume doesn’t seek to please old standards of masculinity, but to transcend them. This perfume represents the man who no longer needs to shout his virility, but express it with confidence, with sweetness, with depth. And that, today, is more provocative than any leather accord or dry vetiver. Scandal Pour Homme Absolu is the ultimate scandal. The fragrance that closes the circle of the line. Night made into perfume.
Classic Scandal with something warmer. Totally redundant if you own any of the Scandal versions. “Le Parfum” is better, though not a great fragrance. It’s inexcusable that this brand has four variants of the same perfume, all practically identical. The truth is, it’s so boring to smell the same DNA four times that I didn’t even bother checking its longevity, projection, or sillage. For the price, you’re better off getting the EDT; it smells almost the same and you save money. 2/10.
I picked this up in a blind swap, and to be honest, upon testing it, I thought they’d given me a Scandal Absolu refilled with the EDT’s liquid. If there are any differences, they’re minimal. At least at first… Maybe in the dry down it feels slightly more fruity and woody, but barely. Anyway, this Scandal Absolu is a top-tier perfume made for night and conquest (if you like well-sweet scents). I’ll keep testing it to see if I find more nuances with wear… P.S.: Needless to say, don’t buy this if you already own the EDT; it would be totally redundant.
I’m not an expert, but my perception of this fragrance is that it’s amazing. Similar scent to the original Scandal but not as sharp and loud, with a sweetness that’s by no means overwhelming like the other two. Its sweetness is more wearable and warm, woody if you will. Many compliments and one of the best in terms of longevity; it easily lasts more than 9 hours.
A sweet, very different winter fragrance from both the EDP and EDT, in line with current men’s perfumery trends. It has nothing to do with Asad Bourbon.
Honestly, I love this perfume; very similar to the EDT but with a little sweetness that I find surprisingly delightful, thanks to that plum. For performance, I give it an 8/10; it doesn’t project wildly, just moderately. For scent, it’s a 10/10. I’ve had it for a month and received many compliments, especially at parties. During the day it can be overwhelming, so I recommend using it only at night.
I’m not an expert, but it’s a fragrance I generally like. It has a quite clear effeminate touch, and then the other notes are less perceptible. I give it an 8/10; it’s a good winter fragrance (I’d like it more if the plum fruity note was more noticeable).
Smells like a salty plum cookie, perfect if you’re young. It’s a great fragrance; I don’t own it but I’ve smelled it many times, and in my opinion it deserves a solid 8.5/10; this rating is general based on its price.
Personally, it seems very sweet, but women are fascinated by it; it’s incredible, literally they come closer just to smell you, you can even see them ovulating when they sense this perfume; it’s inexplicable. Plus, it projects and lasts like a champion. That said, this is only for going out partying or a night date; in the afternoon and with heat, it can be very intense, never use it during the day or for work.
Super sweet, masculine, modern, and attractive fragrance that’s noticeable from meters away. It has standout longevity. I think it’s ideal for cold climates and open spaces.
It’s a Sacandal EDT but better, perhaps less sweet due to less caramel, so maybe less youthful. If you’re looking for the Scandal scent but more mature, this is perfect. Plus, it lasts longer, though I’m not sure if it projects as much.
I liked it more than the classic Scandal. I sense a bit of the first one’s DNA but it’s softer and less dense; the sandalwood is delicious and a note I adore. Nothing clashed, it smells rich and very wearable. It generates tons of compliments and praise.
I don’t care if I have two Scandals; they’re the same. This one is sweeter and toastier, I absolutely love it, and I’m sure many others will too. Recommended if you’re dying for something sweet and want to turn heads.
