Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Absolu Eau de Parfum 80ml Spray Advent Calendar Green apple is the headline

Green apple is the headline — that sharp

Oil-free but not the usual matte: this milky fluid sinks in with a slight luminous finish

Two or three sprays settle into skin and last through the morning

240ml bottle

Cedar and amber form the spine — that warm

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Absolu Eau de Parfum 80ml Spray Advent Calendar Green apple is the headlineScandal Absolu opens with a blast of blackcurrant and pink pepper that doesn't apologise, then settles into a creamy tuberose and almond centre that smells expensive without trying. The base is warm amber and vanilla sweet but not cloying, dense enough to carry. 80ml EDP. Three sprays from the atomiser hold through the day and into the evening; reapplies cleanly if you need the lift mid afternoon. Skip if you prefer scents that whisper this one speaks.
