The review
On paper, Honeymoon is a reasonable bet if you want Scandal for less.
Gulf Orchid sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Scandal's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Scandal — the 3rd cheapest of 9 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Gulf Orchid publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on blood orange and mandarin orange, turns to honey, gardenia and orange blossom, and settles into patchouli, licorice and beeswax. That is the brief Honeymoon is working from.
Top
- blood orange
- mandarin orange
Heart
- honey
- gardenia
- orange blossom
Base
- patchouli
- licorice
- beeswax
Sticky honey and blood orange over dark patchouli, sweet and thoroughly attention-seeking.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 13 twins of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal we can price, Honeymoon is number 3 on price per 100ml.
