Scandal Pour Femme Parfum is both opulent and spare: tuberose, gardenia, and orange blossom at parfum concentration from Roja, before orris root and sandalwood, for anyone.
Scandal Pour Femme Parfum opens on bergamot and lavender before the heart establishes the composition's character. The heart is a full white floral: tuberose, gardenia, jasmine, orange blossom, freesia, rose, and lily of the valley together in a parfum concentration. Tuberose and gardenia are the dominant notes, both heavy, sweet, and intensely floral materials that have high radiance in the parfum format.
Orange blossom amplifies the white floral direction with a slightly honeyed, narcotic quality; jasmine adds indolic depth; freesia and lily of the valley provide lighter, fresher counterpoints that moderate the density of the heavier white florals. The base of musk, orris root, and sandalwood is deliberately minimal: orris root provides the powdery, slightly cool quality that grounds the white floral heart; sandalwood adds creamy warmth. The restrained base allows the heart florals to remain the focus. Twelve or more hours on skin.
Scandal Pour Femme Parfum suits autumn and winter from evening through night. White florals at parfum concentration project most effectively in cooler temperatures. A fragrance for formal occasions and evenings requiring significant presence.
