Scandal Pour Homme Gift Set

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Gift Set is built on clary sage, tonka bean and vetiver. The sage gives it an aromatic herbal bitterness, the tonka bean a caramel warmth, and the vetiver a dry rooty grip that keeps the sweetness honest.

Those three hold the fragrance together as one close-knit piece. The caramel is the loudest part of it, warm and almost edible, while the sage cuts across the top of that sweetness and the vetiver runs beneath with a woody, slightly smoky dryness. A touch of citrus brightness sits at the edges, and the result is a gourmand that still wears masculine and sharp-edged.

Jean Paul Gaultier founded his Paris label in 1982. Scandal Pour Homme followed in 2021, composed by Christophe Raynaud, Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Quentin Bisch, and Puig has held the house fragrance licence since 1 January 2016.

It is long lasting with strong projection, so it stays with you through a long day and carries beyond arm's reach. It wears in all four seasons and suits professional days, casual wear and a night out. This one arrives as a gift set.
