Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
The Scent Profile
Belle Celine Scandant By Night hits you immediately with a syrupy honeyed orange. It aims for Scandal By Night and gets surprisingly close, maybe 87%. The opening is a touch more citrus-forward and slightly less refined than the JPG original; there's a faint synthetic edge. As it dries down, the cherry and tuberose blossom. The heart is where this clone shines. The base is a warm vanilla and tonka bean hug, with a whisper of patchouli keeping it from being *too* sweet. It's a pleasant dry down, though a little less complex than the real deal.
Projection Power
This stuff projects! For the first two hours, you'll leave a trail. After that, it settles closer to the skin but remains noticeable. Longevity is solid. I get about 6-7 hours, which is impressive point. Don't overspray, or you'll risk choking people out. Two sprays are plenty.
Final Thoughts
If you want the Scandal By Night vibe without the designer price tag, Belle Celine Scandant By Night is a good option. It's not a perfect match, and the opening has a *tiny* bit of that clone DNA, but it's close enough. Perfect for date night or evening outings. If you want complexity and absolute top-tier quality then no, this won't replace the original but it will satisfy. The original Scandal By Night is excellent but often goes for 10 times the price of this. For the money, this is an easy blind buy for sweet fragrance lovers.
