Bad Boy For Men

Bad Boy was Carolina Herrera's answer to its own Good Girl, and the lightning-bolt bottle has been one of the most recognisable shapes on a counter since 2019.

It opens peppery — bergamot with both black and white pepper, which is bracing rather than warm. Clary sage and cedar hold the middle dry. The base is where it earns its following: tonka bean and cacao against amberwood, sweet but never sugary, closer to dark chocolate than to a gourmand. This is the eau de toilette, lighter and more wearable in heat than the parfum.

Eau de toilette. For men.
