Scandal

The aroma of orange and orange blossom is quite distinct at the beginning. In fact, this initial scent feels like I'm smelling lemon cologne. Within 5-10 minutes, instead of the cologne-like scent, a blend of jasmine, gardenia, and perhaps a touch of honeysuckle remains, mixed with orange blossom and patchouli. As the scent settles on the skin, it deepens into a caramel-like, sugary, sweet fragrance, with a soft hint of honey. It's definitely not an overpowering or suffocating scent to me. It has a soft and aromatic fragrance, even slightly reminiscent of powder imo, and the combination with white flowers softens the sharper orange initial note, balancing it very well. As it fades, the sugary undertones gradually and slowly disappear. It's very feminine, attractive, sexy, and makes me want to smell it on myself again and again. People around me also say they like it on me. It lasts about 7-8 hours on my clothes and I'd say it lasts up to 6-7 hours on my skin. Although it's mostly described as suitable for autumn and winter seasons and as an evening perfume, I think it can also be used during the day in summer and spring months, by spraying 1-2 puffs in moderation. 'Cuz, you know, jasmine, at least as a plant, smells absolutely wonderful on summer evenings and I think it really suits to summer almost as much as winter. But I also think that in cold weather, the caramel and honey notes add a very nice and cozy feeling of warmth. I love it and I use it.

This used to be my signature fragrance during my last year of high school and I remember being super obsessed with it back then, but once I moved out I didn't take it with me and sort of just forgot that it existed for quite a long time. I sprayed it on a tester strip yesterday and tell me why I could smell that little piece of paper in my bedroom throughout the entire night??? I literally had to rush back in today and get a full size while the Black Friday sale is still on. It's such a sweet fragrance and the lasting power is CRAZY for a designer fragrance. I would recommend however to test this on your skin / clothes before purchasing it if you're generally sensitive to overly sweet scents, because the honey note in this does NOT go unnoticed lmao

This is a very slutty perfume. It's like the red-light district in a bottle. Hookers clacking their heels to the pavement outside the burlesque peep shows. Corsets, nipple tassels, suspenders, and ostrich feathers in a frenzy inside. It's the things you smell when going from club to club and being bad all night. Watching strippers walk around in Pleaser heels with bills stuffed in their bras and panties. Meeting a 30-something guy with a heavy accent, smoking his menthols, and drinking his whiskey. It's raunchy and it's animalic. Like taking said guy and French kissing him in a leather booth. It's the smell of sweat after having sex in an alley at 2am. The kind that leaves you with matted hair and smeared lipstick. Heb je zin in een beurt?

My brother in law bought this perfume for my mum and she did not enjoy it and it wasn't used for a few years. At first I didn't like it either and I tried to love this perfume back then. After those few years the perfume even got a different colour. It is much darker and rather a brownish red. Anyways, now I enjoy the scent that it is one of my most often used perfumes. I personally think it is a rather dark, sexy and intoxicating perfume. It is true, men love it and if you want to go out with your man, this scent is the one you are looking for. Although I must admit, it is not a scent for a first date. I would prefer a more youthful, floral scent for a first date. Furthermore, I will be using this perfume for the professional environment.

This one makes me want to try the Scandal by Night and see how much they differ. Scandal definitely is a sensual and mysterious scent, a very nicely done honey that isn't overly sweet. I love the opening and could see this as a great evening scent, more appropriate for fall and winter. The dry down reminds me a bit of those mystic rock & crystal shops that have tarot cards, trinkets, incense & candles, perhaps that is the beeswax note. It is a unique fragrance that I enjoy. I am undecided if I enjoy it enough to purchase, but if you are serious about only adding unique fragrances to your collection, this would be a great one to add!
