Felipe Grant, Puig Travel Retail Americas General Manager, commented: “Scandal Pour Homme has been effective in increasing Jean Paul Gaultier’s awareness in Travel Retail Americas and further underlines Puig’s mission to provide travelers with stand-out shopping experiences. We are extremely encouraged by Scandal Pour Homme’s performance so far and initial results are far exceeding our expectations.”
The ‘king of the ring’
Scandal Pour Homme, an energizing and addictive eau de toilette, is a sensual, woody amber fragrance featuring an atypical caramel note that forms a harmonious accord with tonka bean, blending with clary sage and vetiver.
It was created by Quentin Bisch, Nathalie Cetto and Christophe Raynaud.
The juice is housed in a refillable clear flacon with a wide top, representing the broad shoulders of the ‘king of the ring’, and is topped with a screwable gold crown lid.
