The review
Scandalous Barber scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Scandal.
Scentual Obsessions 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.
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 Scentual Obsessions 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. Scentual Obsessions 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.
