About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Bad Boy by Carolina Herrera, launched in 2019, is an oriental spicy masculine built on a stark contrast of pepper and cocoa. The opening flashes with white pepper and bergamot, a bright, nose-tingling spark that quickly hands over to a heart of cedarwood and clary sage. That herbal, woody core keeps the composition from tipping into pure dessert territory, adding a dry, aromatic counterweight.

The base is where Bad Boy settles: tonka bean and cacao, warm and resinous, with a cocoa richness that lingers on skin for hours. Collectors who enjoy modern gourmand-leaning masculines—think spice, wood, and chocolate—will find this a solid daily wear for cooler months and evening occasions. It suits someone who wants presence without shouting, and it layers well with dry woody fragrances. The pyramid is straightforward, so if you dislike sweet-spicy profiles, sample first; if you love them, this is a reliable, well-constructed option.

中文簡介

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy(2019)屬東方辛辣男香,以白胡椒與佛手柑開場,帶來明亮而刺鼻的辛香。中調轉為雪松與快樂鼠尾草,草本木質調平衡了甜度,唔會一味甜膩。基調係零陵香豆與可可,溫暖樹脂感,朱古力香氣留喺皮膚上好耐。整體結構直接,適合秋冬或夜晚使用,鍾意現代甜辛木質男香嘅人會啱;如果怕甜,建議先試香。
