Jean Paul Gaultier So Scandal! Review: Creamy Floral
A 2020 release blending raspberry, white florals, and a unique milk note for a sweet, lactonic twist.
In this review
Jean Paul Gaultier's So Scandal! launched in 2020 as a fresh addition to the brand's Scandal line. This feminine fragrance combines fruity top notes with a creamy, lactonic base, offering a playful yet sophisticated take on floral scents. Designed by perfumers Daphné Bugey and Fabrice Pellegrin, it targets those seeking something familiar yet innovative in the luxury market.
So Scandal! stands out with its unique milk note, a departure from traditional floral compositions. As a news reporter for Vivir.com, I've based this review on verified factual data, providing a clear and accessible analysis of its characteristics and performance.
