Fougère in perfection ?
Scandal pour Homme was a blind buy for me. The reason for this was the following: I was looking for a long time for a Fougère, which is high quality and also offers a good performance. Unfortunately, I have already tested some Fougère which were often rather for older gentlemen, had something scratchy, the durability was miserable. In the end, I stayed with Acqua di Parma and the Colonias, but the somewhat weak performance and the partial lack of depth never completely satisfied me. Sure the Colonias are great, because the price makes this very attractive and for this price so a quality is also rare, but it has always been a little something missing.
Scandal pour Homme really manages to fill that gap for me. It is a fresh, classic Fougère as it stands in the book. The top note consists of all kinds of citrus and of course lavender and tarragon. There is nothing special here yet. But that changes in the heart note. Here often something scratchy appears, or a much too dominant lavender, tarragon combination which remind of typical scents of grandparents. Scandal pour Homme avoids this problem very cleverly and relies instead on gentle flowers, which prevent the previously described problem. Unfortunately, I can't smell out exactly which flowers they are, only the violet I can smell out a bit. As for the heart note, Scandal pour Homme is again a typical fougère which is very complex. I just can't even come close to picking out half of the notes. I can detect moss, vetiver, woods, clove, patchouli and labdanum, but that's about it.
The shelf life is good, it could have been a little more here, but 8-9 hours are absolutely fine, but just not very good. The silage is Roja typical restrained, it is just no Xerjoff or Tiziana Ternezi fragrance, I do not mind, but that should perhaps be considered before buying. I find Scandal pour Homme is noticeable for 6-7 hours at an arm's length before the scent becomes skin deep. Scandal pour Homme is more of an understatement, so not for going out to a club or anything. Scandal pour Homme is perfect for everyday life and any weather, except perhaps above 35 degrees.
The biggest drawback is but of course again the price. This is simply exaggerated and it is recommended to look out for offers, because the RRP is much too high I find, but at least not yet completely crazy as with some other Rojas.
I can understand the partly very bad reviews only conditionally, clear Scandal pour Homme does not reinvent the wheel, but what this fragrance wants to be he fulfills perfectly. Scandal pour Homme is not extremely exciting but simply classic and perfect. I think often expectations of Roja fragrances are too high, but I can definitely understand being disappointed or expecting something more unique. I also don't like some Rojas at all for example Diaghilev, but Scandal pour Homme is a fragrance that is even easier to like than for example Diaghilev, especially for younger people.
