Scandal Lanvin arrived in 1931 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. A feminine fragrance from the chypre and floral families. The fragrance was crafted by perfumer Andre Fraysse. Released in perfume extract.
The sillage is extremely noticeable — noticeable, but never overwhelming. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. Brand country — France: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Scandal Lanvin — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Scandal is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Lanvin is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Aromatic and Citrus without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Gourmet, Floral, Wood and Powdery expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In wear duration High suggests confident staying power.
In the first seconds you detect sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot, Clary Sage, Clove and Lemon.
In the middle phase you sense Iris, Jasmine, Leather accord, Rose and ylang-ylang holding a opulent floral direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Aromatic, Spicy and Floral. It also reaches into Whiteflower, Leather, Balsamic and Animals.
Overall Scandal reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory.
