Composition
A bright white-floral creation for women, the 2021 Essence De Parfum edition of Scandal. Bergamot opens into gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, freesia, lily-of-the-valley and May rose, with warm whispers of musk, orris and sandalwood forming a soft and sensual bed.
To me this smells like a bridal bouquet at a big fat Indian wedding — gardenia creamy and heady, tuberose going full narcotic, jasmine and orange blossom piling on the white-flower drama, freesia and lily-of-the-valley keeping it fresh, May rose adding the romance. Bergamot flashes at the start like camera bulbs. It's a lot of flowers, but they're all the friendly kind — no green bite, no indole overload, just lush petals. Musk, orris, and sandalwood tuck it into something soft and powdery at the end, like the memory of the wedding the next morning. Opulent, feminine, joyful. The scandal is only in the name. Beginner-friendly.
