Scandal

Scandal opens with a bright citrus spark—Amalfi lemon and bergamot sharpened by neroli—before clary sage adds an herbal whisper. The heart deepens into leather and rose, softened by creamy ylang-ylang and iris's powdery green shadow. Vetiver and oak moss ground the dry-down while benzoin and vanilla warm the base into something almost resinous, incense smoke curling through it all. There's elegance here, but with a deliberate edge.
