Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Eau de Toilette 100ml is the brand's bold, modern men's fragrance, launched in 2019 and signed by perfumers Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner. Presented in the now-iconic black-and-silver lightning-bolt flacon, it pairs a bright, peppery opening of white and pink pepper with bergamot, a smooth heart of cedarwood and clary sage, and a softly addictive cocoa-and-tonka bean drydown that gives the fragrance its signature gourmand-spicy character.

About Carolina Herrera

Carolina Herrera was founded in New York in 1981 by Venezuelan-American designer Carolina Herrera. The brand's fragrance line, produced under licence by Puig, is best known on the masculine side for the long-running 212 series and the more recent Good Girl / Bad Boy duo, which deliberately turn the brand's sleek elegance into a more playful, club-and-evening register.

Who it's for

Bad Boy suits men who want a confident, slightly indulgent evening-leaning signature with strong projection. The cocoa-tonka drydown reads as warm, smooth and a little sweet without crossing into purely gourmand territory, making it a strong choice for nights out, dates and cooler-weather wear. It is at its best in autumn and winter, and pairs naturally with a more rebellious, dressed-down style.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. The pepper-and-bergamot opening reads at its best with two to three sprays; the cocoa drydown develops over the first hour and rewards a moderate hand.
