Top notes: aldehydes, pineapple, bergamot, artemisia, mint and marigold. Heart: jasmine, hyacinth, mimosa, peach, cyclamen, lily of the valley, rose and tuberose. Base: cypress, cedar, oak moss, musk and raspberry.
The fragrance is available as pure perfume, and as a cologne spray since 1981.

I've been on a bit of a quest to amass fragrances that remind me of my youth. When I was a young teenager, I was given a mini of this as a gift. I wore it till it was gone, having no idea what a mature powerhouse fragrance this was. I just bought a huge bottle of this and received it today, and the scent memory has returned. This is a huge, powerful floral, not very aldehydic or spicy to me. The florals are strong and slightly bitter, and the jasmine a bit indolic. There is a mild soapy quality that is subtle and sporadic, all on a green woody base. A drop of this fills the room, and its a cologne concentrate. I cannot see wearing this often but I am glad I got this back into my wardrobe.
So this scent is still available? I had no idea! I hope the perfume sold now has not been reformulated, as I LOVED the original Scoundrel. This was my first introduction to tuberose (although it is not a top note).
Scoundrel is a heavy, rich, extremely sweet scent, with amazing longevity and sillage for an inexpensive fragrance. I am seriously thinking about buying some, but am worried about possible changes.
Joan Collins used to be the face of this one and I remember seeing an interview with her a few years ago where she mentioned that she used to promote a fragrance but actually thought is smelled like room spray. I wonder if Scoundrel was the fragrance in question? Or was it Spectacular? Whatever the case, it's pretty rare that you hear what a celebrity REALLY thinks of a the fragrances they put their names to.
My mother wore this for a long time, alternating with Chanel No. 19, which I also love. (She and I have very similar tastes.) Smelling it always reminds me of her.
what's with the pineapple note in almost half the perfumes released around 1980? I wonder which aromachemical caught like a wildfire around that time
i had this years ago when it first came out. what a sexy fragrance that i wore to go out for a night on the town. a strong and pleasing blend of notes that dried down to a sexy simmer. memories.
I loved this one! Why do they keep DCing the best fragrances?
And the beautiful Joan Collins, still looks great to be her age! Wow!
