An enchanting composition: the notes

Scandal Absolu Pour Femme is an amber-chypre fragrance built from carefully chosen notes to offer a rich and sensual experience. The main layers of the scent are:

  • Top notes: black fig – a sweet, juicy opening that brings out a rich freshness.
  • Heart notes: tuberose – a floral, sensual heart that adds tempting elegance to the fragrance.
  • Base notes: sandalwood – a warm, creamy finish that leaves a luxurious dry-down on the skin.

The fragrance opens with a sweet, juicy burst of black fig, moves on to the floral heart of tuberose, which adds sensuality, and ends with a warm, creamy sandalwood base that lingers on the skin. It is an ideal choice for cooler days, offering women a scent that is both bold and deeply feminine.

First impression: a sweet opening

When you spray Scandal Absolu Pour Femme on your skin, you are greeted by the sweet, juicy top note of black fig, which immediately creates a rich and tempting first impression. This opening is like a summer evening, when sweet fruits awaken the senses and lead you into a sensual world. After a moment the sweetness of the fig begins to soften and makes room for the heart notes of tuberose, which add floral softness and tempting elegance to the scent. The first impression is rich and alluring, giving confidence and sparkle that suit evening occasions perfectly.

Daytime development: the scent unfolds

Scandal Absolu Pour Femme is a fragrance that evolves through the day and offers a versatile scent experience that adapts to different situations. At first the sweet top note of black fig dominates, bringing out richness and temptation and suiting the start of a special day, such as a romantic meeting. As the day goes on, the heart notes of tuberose come forward, adding floral elegance and making the scent suitable for evening events, whether a party or a dinner. At the end of the day the sandalwood base notes emerge, bringing a warm and sensual undertone and leaving a calming, alluring dry-down that is perfect for a night-time adventure.

Evening charm: depth and warmth

In the evening the full sensuality of Scandal Absolu Pour Femme unfolds, making it an ideal companion for night-time occasions. The heart notes of tuberose are still noticeable, but the sandalwood base notes begin to dominate, bringing out a creamy, warm undertone and adding depth and allure to the scent. This warmth suits evening events perfectly, whether a late-night party or a romantic date, and gives the wearer a feminine charm that draws attention. The fragrance leaves a subtle but noticeable trail – intense enough to make you stand out, yet elegant enough to remain discreet.

Long-lasting: an enduring trail

Scandal Absolu Pour Femme is made to offer a long-lasting scent experience that accompanies you all evening and night. The parfum concentration and the rich composition – the sweetness of black fig, the floral character of tuberose and the warmth of sandalwood – ensure that the scent stays on the skin for a long time and develops slowly according to your skin chemistry. The sillage is moderate, creating a subtle but noticeable aura that is alluring and elegant and suits a night-time setting well, whether a party or an intimate meeting. This makes the fragrance a great choice for women who want a lasting scent that does not become too dominant.
