What You'll Learn
No can opener needed
You don't need a can opener to open the Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal perfume tin. The tin has a plastic seal around its bottom that you need to undo first. Then, gently pull the tin apart from the base and the top. You can also hold the tin at the bottom in the palm of one hand and twist the top cylinder with the other hand until you feel a click. Finally, pull up the top part of the tin, and it will open.
Alternatively, you can rip the cellophane along the perforations and then gently pull the tin apart from the base and the top. You can place the tin over something soft, like a bed, in case the perfume bottle pops out and falls.
The perfume bottle is secured to a holder attached to the bottom lid of the can. You can gently lift it from this base. If you wish, you can place the can back over the base to re-close it.
If you are struggling to open the tin and don't have a can opener, you can use a butter knife to pry it open.

Pry open with a knife
To open the tin can of Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Eau de Parfum 50ml with a knife, first, hold the tin can in the palm of one hand, with the bottom of the can exposed. Then, take a butter knife in your other hand and gently insert it into the gap between the base and the top of the tin. You may need to run the knife around the edge of the tin a few times to loosen the seal.
Next, carefully pry the knife downwards, using it as a lever to pop off the bottom part of the tin. Be gentle and cautious during this step to avoid damaging the perfume bottle inside or accidentally hurting yourself with the knife. If you feel any resistance, stop and adjust the knife's position to find the right spot to pry.
Once the seal is broken, you can fully separate the bottom from the top of the tin. You may need to wiggle the two parts gently back and forth to completely detach them. As you do this, hold the tin over a soft surface, like your bed, in case the perfume bottle falls out.
After opening the tin, you can gently lift the perfume bottle from the base. If desired, you can place the bottle back onto the base and re-close the tin by fitting the two parts back together.

Undo plastic seal
To open the plastic seal on your Scandal perfume, you'll need to locate where the seal meets and carefully pry it open. Begin by examining the plastic seal that secures the lid of the tin. You'll notice that it forms a tight, continuous band around the perimeter of the lid.
Gently insert your fingernail or a thin, flat tool, like a butter knife or a small flathead screwdriver, into the narrow gap between the lid and the body of the tin. Choose a spot where the plastic seal meets, usually along one of the corners or edges of the tin. Work your way slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the seal or injuring yourself.
Once you have inserted the tool, gently pry the seal upwards, away from the tin. You should feel some resistance, but with a slow and steady motion, the seal should start to separate from the lid. Work your way around the perimeter of the tin, continuing to gently pry and lift the seal. If needed, you can also use a small pair of scissors to carefully cut along the seal, being extremely cautious not to damage the bottle inside or injure yourself.
As you loosen the seal, you may find it helpful to grip the lid with one hand and the body of the tin with the other, gently pulling them apart as you work. Take your time and be patient, as forcing the seal may result in damage or spillage. Once you have successfully separated the plastic seal, you can fully open the tin and access the perfume bottle inside.
