The review
Worth a try. That is where Scandal lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Scandal.
Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 76% less than Scandal.
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 Palermo 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: blood orange and mandarin orange up top, honey, gardenia and orange blossom in the middle, patchouli, licorice and beeswax underneath — the shape of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal.
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.
