Bad Boy
Bad Boy by Carolina Herrera is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2019 in the designer price tier. It opens with black pepper and bergamot, moves into cedarwood and cocoa and dries down to tonka bean and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
