Not smelling le parfum was a mistake, it's in my top 5 fragrances. Fantastic dark masculine a little sweet with a great performance. Try it, seriously. Also it is a Quentin Bisch creation
I ordered JPG Scandal Absolu directly from JPG. They package a sample of the fragrance purchased so you can try before opening the full bottle. They also include a prepaid return label. It was not for me and I returned it. I have ordered A men Fantasm. I am looking forward to trying when it arrives from Canada. Appreciate your reviews and your efforts.
@@ScentTrail I was just not “wowed” by it. It seemed like a pedestrian scent. I already have such scents. None of the notes seemed to emerge, or stand out. I could not see myself ever reaching for it, if I kept the bottle.
@roberteckert9699 I get it .I also have a few like that . It is strange how many compliments I got the day I wore it. It's not my kind of scent either, but the reactions of people were crazy . Thanks for watching, and It is good to have you on board.
I am more aligned with your original thoughts. I find fragrance DNA diabetically sweet in our day and age. Some of the underlying profile is nice but when you sugar bomb a fragrance I just can’t do it anymore. It may be because I’m 41 and get impostor syndrome wearing a cotton candy fragrance. 🤷♂️ I’ve begun exploring vintage masculine fragrances from pre-2000. They are not androgynous but can definitely be polarizing. Many of these vintage fragrances can be purchased brand new for very cheap as well.
I too have a hard time with super sweet fragrances. However, the Scadal Absolu does smell good on skin as well as in the air. It is still sweet but a lot better than the original Scandal if you are a fragrance diabetic like us. 🤣 thanks for watching 👊
I feel you. Ther are a lot of fragrances on the market the smell too sweet and alike. This is perpetuated online. Fantasm is a good example. I could have been great if it was a bit more Etherial and not so sweet and mute. Let's hope this changes soon. Thanks for watching 👊
I’ve really slowed down buying fragrances. The prices are getting ridiculous. I love fragrances but the costs are just putting a lot of people out of the game. Your channel is the only one that I am still subscribing to because I am tired of influencers out there pushing the free fragrances on people without being truly honest about their real opinions.
That's very kind of you ☺️. Unfortunately, you are not wrong . It does seem like the prices have gone through the roof. There is a lot of confusion with all the Fragrance UA-camrs. You have to trust your own judgment. Thank you very much for being part of ScentTrail.
Although you encouraged me to check out the scent of the new SCANDAL ABSOLU, I’m not sure if it’s worth the temptation or not. However, one thing I know for sure is that you should regret not knowing what mirabelles are. While technically a type of plum, they have absolutely nothing in common with their purple sisters, either in scent or taste. Look for mirabelle plum butter, and you’ll thank me for this discovery.
Im happy you changed your mind on the Scandal Absolu. I love the entire line but Absolu is indeed special 🔥
I agree, compliment getter for sure. Thanks for watching 🤜
Great video, as usual
Awesome, thanks for watching 🤜
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Thanks Michael 👊

Thats thoughtful of them. What did you not like about Absolu?

Me too. I think this sweetness faze will Dissipate sooner than later. I like some of the sweet fragrances but I have so many.
Now, you 2 are also fragrance enthusiastic experts

😆 🤣 I wonder if it would sell.
Thanks for watching 🤜
I'd like to know where you did Scandal Absolu ?

I vaguely remember tasting one some time ago. Not to comon in Texas. Thanks, I'll look out for some jam.
Fantasm is a great name. I hate when a fragrance can’t live up to its name or when a great fragrance has a horrible name!
Agreed , I feel the same. Thanks for watching!
