Description - Scandal Absolu Women
A sun-warmed fruity composition. Authentic JPG Scandal Absolu Women EDP decant from ৳731, available in Bangladesh. Notes of fig, red berries
Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal line has been a consistent hit since its 2017 launch, and Scandal Absolu Eau de Parfum for women, released in 2024, adds a darker, more gourmand chapter. It carries the Scandal DNA of sweet florals and caramel but pushes it toward something richer, with fig, lavender, and a deeper vanilla base. Aromatica carries the Scandal Absolu Women decant in Bangladesh across all four sizes.
Fragrance Notes

The Scent
The opening is fruity and slightly herbal. Red berries arrive with a sweet, juicy brightness, and lavender adds an unexpected aromatic quality that separates Absolu from the sweeter Scandal flankers. The lavender is not the sharp, medicinal kind. It reads more as a soft, floral-herbal note that bridges the fruity top and the gourmand heart. Within fifteen minutes, fig takes over as the dominant note. It is sweet, syrupy, and slightly milky, giving the fragrance a gourmand character that the original Scandal did not have. Floral notes sit behind the fig, adding a familiar feminine quality without competing for attention. The transition from fruity-aromatic to sweet-gourmand is smooth and well-blended. As the fragrance settles, vanilla and amber create a warm, enveloping base that lasts well into the evening. The vanilla here is creamy and rich, more dessert-like than powdery. Amber adds warmth and depth. Community comparisons to PDM Valero have been mentioned, along with the suggestion that Absolu is a smoother, more approachable version of the entire Scandal "Pur" line compressed into one fragrance. Performance is solid, with good projection and above-average longevity. Some wearers note an animalic quality in the deep dry-down that adds character. Others find it too sweet if overapplied. Two to three sprays is the consensus for balanced wear. For someone who enjoys the Scandal identity but wants something darker, more fig-forward, and more gourmand, Absolu delivers that with more refinement than most flankers manage. What makes Absolu interesting within the Scandal line is how it repositions the DNA. The original Scandal was built around honey, gardenia, and a sharp caramel note. Le Parfum pushed it toward jasmine and salted caramel. Absolu takes a different turn entirely, leaning into fig as its defining gourmand element. Fig in perfumery can read milky, green, or jammy depending on how it is handled, and here it leans milky and sweet, creating a softer, more rounded gourmand character than the sharper caramel of the original. It is the least aggressive Scandal variant, which may be its greatest strength for everyday wear.
When to Wear
This is a fall and winter fragrance, ideal for evening events, dates, and nightlife. The fig and vanilla combination works best in cooler temperatures. Browse the Dates | Nights collection at Aromatica for more evening options.
Who Is It For
Someone who enjoys sweet, gourmand-leaning feminine fragrances and wants the Scandal DNA pushed toward fig and vanilla territory. If you already own the original or Le Parfum and want a darker option for colder months, Absolu fills that gap.
For a lighter take on the Scandal DNA, Scandal Eau de Parfum offers the original honey-gardenia character with less gourmand depth. Browse the full Jean Paul Gaultier collection at Aromatica.
