The idea of an endless train captivates us, where the journey erases everything, and the destination is just a fantasy we abandon as soon as our eyes close.
The Gaultier Express, where all excesses would be allowed, where even the sleeper cars couldn't tear us away from the celebration.
Our heroine, Malika El Maslouhi, magnetic, runs in the opposite direction, defying the motion. From cabins to carriages, from sleeping cars to dining car, she makes her way through the passengers. All are pulled into her sensual and addictive trail, where the warmth of cardamom blends with the softness of vanilla.
It’s Scandal Intense, the fragrance created by Nicolas Bonneville, Daphne? Bugey, and Fabrice Pellegrin, in a pink velvet case, sublimated by a pair of nonchalant golden legs, the very same ones that adorn its faceted purple couture bottle.
Among the crowd, Louis Baines, irresistible, follows her in this madness. In this intoxicating chaos, their run transforms into a frantic dance, a chase after the unknown.
They join the Gaultier clique, incandescent and irreverent, ready to embrace it all.
Slowly, they move away from the turmoil. Tonight, she will not return to her cabin. She has other plans. The unknown at her side becomes all she needs. He guides her toward a door draped in red velvet.
The scent that greets them is wild, unruly, a woody fragrance that seeps into them, blending soft leather notes, burning vetiver, and aromatic sage. It envelops them, sensual, outrageously captivating.
As she inhales this fragrance, her gaze slides toward the nightstand, drawn to a bottle with bold shoulders. Crowned in gold, it asserts its silhouette.
The deep grooves carved into the glossy black of its glass, Scandal pour Homme Intense, shaped by Quentin Bisch, Christophe Raynaud, Natalie Cetto, seem to whisper a story she longs to know.
Little by little, the images of this wild journey fade, like a dream dissipating in the morning. Yet, the powerful scent of Scandal Intense that she breathes continues to bring her back to this journey, to this unreal train that led her into the arms of this unknown, who was no longer a stranger by morning.
