Jean Paul Gaultier So Scandal

White flowers and milk. So Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier is all about creamy texture.

Tuberose gives full, enveloping petals, jasmine adds depth, and orange blossom brings a brighter sweetness. A milky accord wraps around them, making the whole bouquet soft, rounded and almost lactonic.

It isn’t earthy or dry. The flowers are the main event, cushioned by that creamy softness. If sheer, watery florals feel too thin to you, this is the opposite.

A birthday supper or a dressy evening is a great excuse to wear it.

Eau de Parfum, 2.7 oz.
