What wearers say

“A night in Paris! This is so good :) I would say this flanker is the most similar to the discontinued Scandal by Night. I loved that one, but now I have this :) Its so sexy, warm and sweet. I love it :) Sillage is huge and it gave me compliments. Perfect for a date, evenings, fall and winter. It lasts on my skin for about 7-8 hours.”

“This smells exactly like one particular herbal essence shampoo/conditioner I used when I was in elementary school. Like the old 2000s bottles. I can’t remember which one but I remember the scent and the way it lasted in your hair and this perfume smells just like that. Very nostalgic I’d love to have a full size of this but the bottle is a lil ugly imo…. If u know any perfumes with a similar scent profile lmk… Gonna go sniff shampoo at shoppers hopefully they didn’t change their scent too much since then.”

“Creamy beautiful fig, sweet and not heavy on honey. After scandal intense (2025), this is the second best among flankers. Unfortunately during the dry down, becomes very closely similar to scandal edp, on a more proeminent honey note left. While in scandal edp it’s very clear, scandal absolu loses its projection and we observe a faint, barely noticeable honey like in scandal edp.”
