Is Scandal by Night still in production?+−
While Jean Paul Gaultier often rotates their flankers, Scandal by Night has become increasingly difficult to find in retail stores compared to the original Scandal or the newer Le Parfum version, leading many enthusiasts to consider it effectively discontinued or in limited distribution.
How does the performance of this version compare to the original Scandal?+−
Fragrance fans generally agree that Scandal by Night is the most intense version in the lineup. It projects further and has a thicker, more syrupy "weight" on the skin than the original Eau de Parfum.
Is this fragrance suitable for daytime wear?+−
Most users find this scent too heavy and sweet for daily or casual use. It is specifically designed for evening occasions, parties, and cold weather where its bold honey and tuberose notes can shine without being cloying.
Does the patchouli make this a "dirty" smelling fragrance?+−
The patchouli here provides a grounded, earthy base that balances the extreme sweetness of the honey and tonka bean. It adds depth rather than a sharp or overly herbal scent, contributing to the dark, evening character of the perfume.
