What wearers say
“Coming back to this as the winter season is arriving, and I’m still in belief that this is the best JPG.Opening is heavenly, I wish it lasted longer than the 5 seconds it does. (Weirdly when I first got the bottle the opening lasted much longer)Dry down is.. ok.. but nothing crazy, just a nutty vanilla.Please check this one out. It’s unisex leaning masculine- as are many of the JPG scents.”
“Scandal Absolu is likely my favorite JPG fragrance overall. It’s a beautifully crafted scent, blending a rich, warm, and sweet smoky chestnut with hints of caramel.The performance is outstanding, lasting about 11-12 hours on my skin, with strong projection for the first 6 hours.You seriously can't go wrong with this. Insanely good for this cold winter weather.”
“One of the best, it’s got a mix of SWY with the hazelnut, the sweetness of many but then also has a freshness (similar to the sweet yet fresh of One Million Parfum, not that they smell similar). A lot more versatile than many elixirs out there and has the sort of projection that I like for a men’s fragrance. Not too strong but just strong enough and lasts forever.”
