Scandal
“Blood orange, mandarin, and honey — Scandal's 2017 honey feminine, evening winter signature.”
Honey over a caramel-patchouli drydown — Christophe Raynaud's 2017 launch for JPG, the high-heel-shoe-bottled honey-gourmand release. An orange blossom-honey heart, settling on a caramel-patchouli base. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
