Scandal
Scandal by Roja Parfums is a feminine-leaning parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and lemon, moves into lily of the valley, freesia, rose de mai, gardenia, orange blossom and jasmine and dries down to sandalwood, iris and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
- Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
