Flora Five's Scandal attar is an alcohol-free, oil-based interpretation of the honey-drenched glamour of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal. Blood orange and mandarin burst open like a spilled cocktail, gardenia, jasmine and peach soften the middle, and honey folds into beeswax, caramel and patchouli for a drydown that purrs along for roughly 10–12 hours on skin.

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal |
How it compares. Our attar captures the recognisable Scandal accord — juicy blood orange melting into honey, gardenia and a caramel-beeswax base. Because it's a concentrated oil with no alcohol, the opening is softer (no spray "blast"), it develops more slowly, sits closer to the skin, and lasts noticeably longer than an alcohol spray.
This is a 100% alcohol-free oil — halal, skin-friendly and free of the boozy edge sprays carry. Warm it on your pulse points: wrists, neck, the crook of an elbow. Your own body heat slowly ripens the honey accord, so give it a little time before judging — and keep it away from white outfits.

Frequently asked questions
What does Scandal attar smell like?
A honey gourmand with polish. Blood orange gives a juicy, faintly bitter first minute, then honey, gardenia and jasmine take over — sweet, rounded and unapologetically feminine. The beeswax and caramel base keeps the sweetness dense rather than sugary, with patchouli and a curl of licorice underneath adding a grown-up edge.
How long does it last?
Expect roughly 10–12 hours. Honey and caramel materials cling to skin exceptionally well in an oil base; the heart is loudest for the first five or six hours, easing into a warm beeswax glow. It performs beautifully in cooler weather, where skin heat keeps it radiating.
How is Flora Five's version different from the original Scandal?
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal is an alcohol spray with an immediate, room-filling burst. Our oil renders the same honeyed accord more intimately: it opens softer, unfolds gradually and hugs the skin — while wearing noticeably longer per application. You trade first-hour projection for endurance and a smoother, rounder sweetness.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
Gourmands are personal, so sample it at 3 ml first if honey notes are new to you. The 6 ml covers a season of dinners and date nights. If sweet ambers and honeyed scents are already your lane, the 12 ml is the sensible buy — the cost per wear drops sharply.
