The review
Worth a try. That is where Blue Royal lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Scandal Le Parfum.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Scandal Le Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 42% less than Scandal Le Parfum — the cheapest of 1 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 HK Perfumes 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
What it is chasing: bergamot and caramel up top, tuberose, orange blossom and coffee in the middle, vanilla, Tonka Bean and patchouli underneath — the shape of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Le Parfum.

Caramel and coffee over vanilla tonka, plush and unashamedly dessert-like.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
