The story behind the bottle.
Bad Boy Le Parfum by Carolina Herrera, launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumers Fanny Bal, Bruno Jovanovic, and Nicolas Beaulieu, is a scent that challenges the conventional. The fragrance opens with the unexpected note of cannabis, paired with grapefruit for an aromatic-fresh spicy blend. This distinctive combination leads into a heart of black pepper and geranium before settling into a base of leather and vetiver, creating a smoky, green atmosphere. It's a daring composition that captures both the edgy charm and sophisticated restraint expected from Carolina Herrera.
Given its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, one or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of this fragrance. The cannabis note fades quickly, so it's best applied close to when you plan to wear it for maximum impact.
