Scandal Absolu by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Scandal Absolu was launched in 2024. Scandal Absolu was created by Daphné Bugey, Fabrice Pellegrin and Ane Ayo. Top note is Tuberose; middle note is black fig; base note is Sandalwood. Gold, flowers, great desire. Scandal Absolu, the absolute scandal to the point of addiction. To create a “Scandal”, this fragrance costs a lot: overwhelming materials and daring encounters as well as delicious sensations. Dare to indulge in the most eccentric and irresistible pleasures: floral indecency or syrupy black fig. Let your bare legs play on the slopes of the senses, uninhibited and full of sensuality. Turn night into day and never let it end. It's just midnight: Let the “Scandal” begin!
