Bad Boy Le Parfum
by Carolina Herrera
Bad Boy Le Parfum by Carolina Herrera is a bold, aromatic fragrance that opens with a striking blend of grapefruit and herbaceous cannabis, creating a fresh, green, and slightly pungent initial impression. The note is not overtly skunky or marijuana-like, but rather evokes a clean, slightly sweet, and earthy cannabis leaf—reminiscent of a fresh-cut weed without the typical smoke or odor. Over time, it dries down into a spicy, leathery base with vetiver, pepper, and a subtle sugary-woody warmth, making it both masculine and distinctive. Its sillage is moderate to strong initially but becomes more intimate over time—ideal for night wear and casual settings. The fragrance performs well, lasting up to 8 hours on skin and even longer on clothing, with a solid projection that draws attention without being invasive.
