The fragrance is widely recognized for its impressive longevity and projection, with critics and fans alike agreeing that it lasts for many hours and maintains a noticeable presence without being as heavy as the original Scandal EDP.

While the Raspberry and Milk notes are the most discussed, there is a recurring debate regarding its synthetic nature; some find it a masterful modern gourmand, while others feel it lacks the depth of natural flower extracts.
It is frequently recommended as a versatile "all-rounder" compared to other flankers, with the community favoring it for spring and fall daytime wear or casual evening outings rather than strictly formal environments.
Value opinions are generally positive because the scent’s high performance means users can apply less product to achieve a significant effect.
