Jean Paul Gaultier
Scandal Pour Homme EDT
“Toffee in a leather jacket — unapologetically sweet and somehow still masculine.”
The take
What works
- ●Toffee-lavender-patchouli combo is sweet and distinctively gourmand-aromatic
- ●Excellent compliment credentials at a fair mid-tier price
- ●More wearable than most gourmands — fall and winter sweet spot
Trade-offs
- ●Toffee sweetness divides opinion — not subtle about what it is
- ●Longevity is average for an EDT in this weight class
