Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Extase Fragrance Notes

Scandal Extase

- Heart: benzoin
- Base: patchouli
Scandal Pour Homme Extase
- Top: mandarin
- Heart: caramel
- Base: "torrid musks" (the ScentAdvice Instagram caption says "hot musks")
What Does Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Extase Smell Like?
Based on the listed notes, Scandal Extase opens on apricot, moves into resinous benzoin and settles on patchouli. Scandal Pour Homme Extase pairs citrus mandarin with a caramel heart and a musk base.
Mallorca Duty Free's product copy describes the women's perfume this way: "Welcome aboard the Ecstasy Express! Scandal Extase can't be explained, only felt. Vibrant, electrifying, intoxicating — it makes a powerful impression from the first moment. Apricot nectar leads the dance with its luscious, golden radiance, while benzoin and patchouli prolong the experience with a deeply addictive intensity."

What Makes the Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Extase Duo Different?
- A new pair in the Scandal series: like Le Parfum, Absolu, Intense and Elixir (January 2026), Extase comes as a women's and men's duo.
- Three notes per fragrance: each scent lists only one note per tier, and Olfastory classes both as fruity ambers.
- Described as a limited edition: Mallorca Duty Free's copy ends "Scandal Extase, the most outrageous Jean Paul Gaultier limited edition yet." Jean Paul Gaultier hasn't confirmed this on its own site.
