A fresh, breezy citrus-woody fragrance that captur

This summer fragrance opens with a burst of fresh citrus and crisp green notes, immediately evoking the brightness of a sunlit morning by the coast. Light florals in the heart add a breezy elegance without overwhelming, while a subtle base of soft woods and musk grounds the scent, making it feel both refreshing and sophisticated. Perfect for warm weather, it’s versatile enough for daytime wear yet refined enough for summer evenings, leaving behind a clean, airy trail that feels effortless and uplifting.

Classic Scandal but more Mature

A nice new take on Scandal, it has the well known Scandal DNA with a mature take, the note of Leather is very very minimal and makes the DNA not as sweet as the others. This has been and will continue to be my go to Fall Scent

The scent

A bold, sweet, and long-lasting fragrance that stays true to the Scandal DNA with added richness. The opening is fresh and sweet with clary sage and tonka, settling into warm woods and a soft leather touch. Great for cooler weather and nights out, but can be too sweet or heavy for daytime or summer wear. Longevity is excellent, projection strong early on. Not super unique, but if you enjoy sweet aromatic scents, this is a solid choice."

Premium Presentation and Scent

The experience starts with the premium presentation: a heavy, darkened glass bottle with JPG's signature gold crown cap, housed in a velvet box. It feels weighty and confident. The atomizer delivers a generous, even spray. The scent opens with a sharp, green kick of clary sage, quickly grounded by smoky vetiver and a rugged, sensual leather finish. It's bold, strong, earthy, and classy—ideal for evening wear, not the office.

Solid, polished leathery and woody scent!

The Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Intense is a new 2025 release in an Eau de Parfum (EDP) concentration. It is officially classed as a leather woody scent profile. It opens noticeably brighter and fresher than previous Scandal flankers, featuring a fleeting herbal minty freshness from the Clary Sage. The leather is not a heavy, animalic, or raw type. It is described as a smooth, semi-sweet suede. This is leather done in a mass appealing and sexy way (the "Gaultier way"). The intense version is less sweet and more grown-up compared to the original, with the sweetness being more blended and restrained. The dry down uses a dry woodiness (Vetiver). It has a bold, powerful profile. It is best suited for a night out or cooler day wear (Fall, Winter, and Spring). It is considered too heavy for office wear. Performance is solid. Longevity is expected to be 8 to 10 hours easily. It is a potential compliment puller. It is a solid release and super likable. However, it is seen by many as redundant if you already own the original or Le Parfum, functioning more as a "re-imagined, tweaked version of the original" rather than a standalone scent.

Luxury experience!

I absolutely love the smell! The staying power is really good. It feels luxurious to hold and the spray is good. You don't need much so it lasts a while!

Powerful, attention-grabbing fragrance!

I received a sample of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Intense Eau de Parfum from Influenster, and it definitely makes a statement. The fragrance opens bold and rich, with a mix of sweet caramel warmth balanced by deep woody and masculine notes. It feels both sophisticated and playful, making it perfect for evenings or special occasions. The scent lasts impressively long, so a little goes a long way. If you like powerful, attention-grabbing fragrances, this one is worth trying.

Fresh, earthy, leathery, bold, sophisticated.

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Intense is a fragrance I really enjoy because it perfectly balances freshness, depth, and warmth. It opens with a burst of clary sage that feels clean, aromatic, and slightly herbal, then smoothly transitions into earthy vetiver at the heart, giving it a refined and masculine edge. As it dries down, the rich leather base takes over, adding a sexy, confident, and sophisticated touch that lingers for hours. The scent moves seamlessly from fresh and bright to deep and sensual, making it versatile but especially great for evenings or cooler weather when you want to leave a strong impression. Longevity and projection are solid, so just a few sprays go a long way. Overall, it’s a bold yet classy fragrance that really stands out and feels like a perfect blend of freshness and richness.

Must have Fragrance

Its been almost a month since i received this parfum, i took my time to test it out before writing this review. It lasts long. The bottle looks great in my fragrance collection. No complaints at all. Works like a charm for all the events.

Not your daily driver

It’s certainly a scent that has some staying power. It’s a touch smokey? Too much? I honestly didn’t know what I was smelling. It’s warm and fresh but not something I could see myself wearing daily. Cool bottle, but not every day.

Sweet, spicy, and unapologetically seductive.

Performance is generally good with strong initial projection, though some find newer bottles less powerful than testers. Best suited for cooler weather or evenings, it’s the most mature and elegant take on Scandal—less wild than the original honey-patchouli bomb, but still indulgent, seductive, and eye-catching in its striking deep purple bottle.
