Jean Paul Gaultier has never been one to play it safe, and with each fragrance launch, the house pushes the boundaries of seduction and style. Since its debut, the Scandal line has embodied confidence, sensuality, and a daring spirit. Now, the story continues with Scandal Intense Eau de Parfum—a fragrance that amplifies the codes of the original while carving out a new space for unapologetic glamour.
The Scandal collection has always celebrated contrasts: sweetness with strength, elegance with excess. Over the years, it has become synonymous with daring femininity, wrapped in bottles as striking as the scents within. With Scandal Intense, Jean Paul Gaultier brings the narrative to its boldest iteration yet—a fragrance made for women who thrive on audacity and allure.
Created by master perfumers Nicolas Bonneville, Daphné Bugey, and Fabrice Pellegrin, Scandal Intense is as magnetic as it is addictive. The fragrance opens with the spice of cardamom, an unexpected twist that immediately draws attention. This warmth unfolds into a heart of luscious vanilla, bringing a gourmand richness that’s both sensual and comforting. Finally, the scent lingers with a radiant, powerful trail that leaves an impression long after the wearer has left the room. As Daphné Bugey describes it: “Scandal Intense is about defiance and seduction. It thrives on contrasts—warm, soft, and gourmand, yet irresistibly powerful.”
True to Gaultier’s playful irreverence, Scandal Intense comes housed in a faceted purple couture bottle, crowned once again with the brand’s iconic legs in the air. Nestled in a velvet pink box, the design captures the spirit of glamour, excess, and tongue-in-cheek sensuality that defines the Scandal universe.
To mark the launch, Jean Paul Gaultier brings the fantasy of Scandal Intense to life through a campaign starring Malika El Maslouhi. Set aboard the fantastical Gaultier Express—a train where the night never ends—the campaign channels freedom, defiance, and untamed sensuality, echoing the very essence of the fragrance itself.
Jean Paul Gaultier’s Scandal Intense is available now at leading fragrance retailers across Malaysia, including AEON, Isetan, Parkson, SEIBU, SOGO, and Sephora online.
