A long shot

The review

Misconduct scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Scandal.

Perfume Parlour 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.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

It is $83 per 100ml.

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 Perfume Parlour 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

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal is blood orange and mandarin orange at first, honey, gardenia and orange blossom at its heart and patchouli, licorice and beeswax at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
