Scandal Cologne

Geranium sets a green, slightly rosy tone at the top of Scandal Cologne from Jean Paul Gaultier, with nothing else competing for attention. Tonka bean carries the core solo, warm and gently sweet. Sandalwood closes the foundation creamy and richly woody. Moving from a sharp green top straight to tonka's sweetness is a notably quick turn, and it happens with just three notes total, each one given distinct room to register before the next arrives. Scandal Cologne is a woody gourmand Eau de Parfum, suited to evening wear. Jean Paul Gaultier kept this deceptively simple.
