So Scandal! vs Scandal

So Scandal! has a dedicated niche of passionate fans who consider it a personal favorite and go-to fragrance for special occasions. However, the fragrance appears to be experiencing availability issues and lacks the broader community enthusiasm of more popular releases. While those who love it are highly devoted, it ranks as merely 'okay' among casual fragrance enthusiasts.

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal receives strong positive reception from the r/fragrance community, praised for its beautiful, sophisticated sweetness and impressive performance. Multiple users describe it as gorgeous and expensive-smelling with notes of honey, dried apricots, and caramel. However, its intense sweetness makes it divisive—excellent for sweet fragrance lovers but potentially overwhelming for others, requiring consideration before blind buying.
