No. A dupe is built to the same idea, not the same formula, and cheaper materials usually show in the opening and in how long it lasts. That is why every entry here says how it differs instead of giving a percentage.
Like a warm mirabelle plum tart on a sandalwood plate, spiced and nutty. It opens on Mirabelle.
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Absolu Pour Homme is a 2024 Eau de Parfum that pushes the Scandal franchise into bold, irresistible territory. The opening is a stroke of genius, with mirabelle plum providing a sweet, golden, distinctly French fruitiness that is both unexpected and delicious in a men's fragrance. The heart brings warm chestnut, adding a roasted, nutty richness that transitions the fruity opening into gourmand territory. Sandalwood in the base provides a creamy, smooth foundation that gives the fragrance its woody backbone and impressive longevity. The overall character is warm, spicy, fruity, and woody, a combination that is designed to attract attention and compliments. The balsamic and powdery qualities add refinement, while the sweetness keeps everything approachable and crowd-pleasing. This is a modern fragrance that understands what makes men's perfumery exciting today, the combination of unexpected fruit notes with warm, comforting woods and spices. Perfect for evening wear and cooler weather when its warm, enveloping character can shine.
