Is Scandal Absolu suitable for warm summer weather?+−
While it can be worn year-round by those who love heavy gourmands, the community generally finds it best suited for fall and winter. Its thick, honeyed sweetness can become overwhelming in high heat and humidity.
How does this version compare to the original Scandal?+−
This version is woodier and more "musky" than the original. It leans into notes like black fig and sandalwood, giving it a deeper, more mature character compared to the bright, floral-heavy sweetness of the debut fragrance.
Is this a good choice for the office or professional settings?+−
Because of its strong projection and potent sillage, it is generally favored for nights out, parties, or leisure activities rather than a business environment where more discreet scents are typically preferred.
What are the prominent notes in the dry down?+−
After the initial fruity and floral burst fades, the scent settles into a warm blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood, accented by the lingering richness of honey and a slight earthy touch of patchouli.
