Bad Boy
Carolina Herrera (2019)

The opening and mid weren't too bad but the drydown is pretty bad. The EDP version has a slightly better drydown but has a worse opening than this one. Smells like a peppery tonka bean chemical mess.

Oh, yuck. If you go out and smell a guy drowning in cheap cologne, he'll smell like this. It's not that he's wearing Bad Boy - he's probably wearing an Axe body spray or one of the thousands of other men's scents that smell like this (peppery grape topnotes over metallic aquatic spices).

Honestly, who is this for?? Men who want to smell like this likely haven't heard of Carolina Herrera and don't like cutesy bottles and would scoff at this price point.

It's maybe not original,but overall this is a compliment getter and the girls definitely love it.safe clubbing/night out scent.it's blatantly synthetic and comes across as quite stock.sort of like how some songs feature similar chord progressions,BB has a familiar scent,it's like a mixture of Invictus and Diesel Plus Plus.

After a few seconds of citrus,the spices and hot cacao in the middle sets the romanic mood,and tonka bean amber taking center stage that gets sweeter. it's sweet,but it is not unisex.who says every single perfume with some sweet notes sgould be considered unisex?totally this won't be apoeal to the collector on the endless search for an organic masterpiece,but it's perfect for beginners and people content with a handful of fragrances for casual use.last about 5 hours.

Bad in a kind of
Chocolate shoe polish way
Which is to say, good

And fairly subtle
Not as "bad" as Le Parfum
Chococat approves

As the pleasantries
Of the varied components
Provide interest

Without scaring off
Hello Kitty and her friends
From Mainstream City

Where bad boys smell good
But not quite untrainable
Like those Basenotes Boys.

This fragrance is almost all about its stylistic bottle being the juice itself samewhat pale and uninspired. A connection between salty-aromatic and ambery elements with a dark urban touch from tonka bean and bitter cocoa. Sporty, darkly virile, metropolitan and salty-cedary, a juice for "minimal" contemporary fancy urban fellows with no idea about vintage tuxedos, 80's luxurious leatherwears-boutiques and the classic Bernard Chant's olfactory sleights of hand. This weird juice starts out "growling" with a liquid cardamomish green aura which is aromatic, lemony and kind of woody/salty in a way to exude a sort of sea-weeds like effect (probably the arid effect from liquid pepper, bergamot and cedarwood perhaps even supported by salty-ozonic molecules). Pepper, cedarwood and sage are dominant along with this weird synth kind of salty-ozonic-lemony molecule connected to tonka bean and cocoa (which does not perform as a typical cocoa bean note but as something toasted/metallic connected to woody-aromatic saltiness, soapy tonka bean and green aromatics). The effect is really synth in a virile salty way a la cheaper Bottega Verde Uomo Nero d'Ambra (dark, cedary-woody and aromatic).

An olfactory panic attack brought about by sensory overload in a crowded airport.
