Honey accord sometimes appears in the heart region.

Character & vibe:
Fruity‑floral opening → warm sweet base. It combines playful sweetness (citrus + honey) with feminine florals and a richer, warmer dry‑down (woods, patchouli, caramel/licorice).

✔️ What we like
Strong value: If you like the “Scandal” vibe but don’t want to pay the original’s premium, Scandant offers a similar character for a lower cost.
Distinct personality: The honey / blood orange / patchouli combination is bold and memorable—good for making an impression.
Versatile: Although richer than light “office scents”, you can wear it both day and night (especially the non‑By‑Night version) depending on how you apply it.
