{"product_id":"bad-boy-edt","title":"Bad Boy EDT","description":"\u003cp\u003eBad Boy is the 2019 Carolina Herrera eau de toilette by Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner, sold in the lightning-bolt bottle, and the original that the later Le Parfum, Extreme and Elixir versions branch from. Peppery bergamot opens onto clary sage and cedar, then dries into tonka and bitter cacao. Fragrantica classes it as an oriental spicy fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Pepper, Bergamot, Pink Pepper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedarwood, Clary Sage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tonka Bean, Cacao\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"af-source\"\u003eNotes verified from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fragrantica.com\/perfume\/Carolina-Herrera\/Bad-Boy-55449.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Scent\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo peppers open it. White pepper is clean and sharp, pink pepper is rosier and brighter, and bergamot gives them a citrus lift. The first impression is crisp and spicy, not sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClary sage and cedarwood form a dry, aromatic middle. The sage has a slightly musky, herbal quality and the cedar keeps it woody and upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the base arrives, and this is what people remember. Cacao here reads like unsweetened cocoa powder, dusty and slightly bitter, and tonka bean rounds it into something warmer and softer. The contrast between the dry pepper top and the cocoa-tonka finish is the whole idea of the fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe structure is simple, three accords in sequence, and that simplicity is part of its appeal. Each stage is easy to name: spice, then herbs and wood, then cocoa. There is no fruit, no vanilla and no aquatic note, which sets it apart from the sweeter fruit-and-vanilla style many designer releases followed. The pepper matters more than the pyramid suggests, because it is what stops the tonka from feeling soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin its own family the EDT is the lightest and most balanced. Le Parfum moves into leather and vetiver, and the later flankers each push a different accord harder. As an entry point to the line, the original is the cleanest reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn easy evening and weekend scent for the cooler months. The cacao and tonka make it warm, but the eau de toilette strength keeps it from being heavy, so it also works for casual daytime wear from November to February. On a hot, humid afternoon the pepper fades fast and the tonka takes over sooner. In the warm months keep it to evenings and indoor settings, where the cacao has room without the heat pushing it forward. At the office, one spray keeps it in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMen looking for a first designer fragrance that is warm and modern without being sugary, and anyone curious about cacao as a note. It also suits someone who wants the original before deciding whether a stronger flanker is worth it. Those after a fresh, citrus or aquatic scent should look elsewhere. It also suits anyone who finds woody amber scents too heavy, because the eau de toilette strength keeps the cocoa light and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe line continues with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/products\/bad-boy-le-parfum\"\u003eBad Boy Le Parfum\u003c\/a\u003e, a separate leather-and-vetiver composition, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/products\/bad-boy-extreme\"\u003eBad Boy Extreme\u003c\/a\u003e.
