"Scandal Absolu" by Jean Paul Gaultier Parfum is a men’s woody gourmand fragrance with a rich, bold character built around plum, chestnut, and sandalwood.

This scent opens with the juicy warmth of mirabelle plum, then develops into a gourmand chestnut heart that adds depth and texture. As it settles, sandalwood creates a smooth, polished finish that feels confident, sensual, and well suited to evenings out, cooler weather, and statement wear.

Bottle Description: The bottle features the signature Scandal Pour Homme silhouette with a striking lacquered gold finish and crown-inspired cap for a dramatic, high-impact presentation.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for men who want a deeper, more decadent scent profile with sweet fruit, gourmand warmth, and creamy woods.
