Our take

So Scandal! pairs raspberry with tuberose and jasmine sambac, a fruity, heady white floral combination made unusual by a milk note running underneath, lactonic and creamy rather than purely sweet. Orange blossom threads through the heart too, adding lift against how loud tuberose can get on its own, and the whole thing feels dense and a little indulgent from the first spray. There's nothing shy about the opening: raspberry and tuberose arrive together and stay loud through most of the wear, with the milk note only becoming obvious once the initial fruit calms down.

Staying power is strong, holding its ground stubbornly, and sillage keeps its bubble small, close and personal. It suits anyone who likes tuberose but wants a softer, milkier version of it, and it will read too sweet and heady for anyone who prefers pared-back white florals. Fans of Jean Paul Gaultier's louder, maximalist fragrances will feel most at home here. The milk note keeps surfacing under the fruit throughout, never quite separating from it. Milk and jasmine sambac linger together at the end, a splash of milk soaking into a bowl of crushed raspberries left on the counter.
