The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bad Boy Sparkling Ice by Carolina Herrera is a Woody Aromatic fragrance launched in 2024, designed to capture the essence of contemporary sophistication. This composition opens with a burst of grapefruit and clary sage, offering an invigorating freshness that cuts through the rich warmth of cocoa and tonka bean in the heart. Vetiver adds depth and earthiness to the base, grounding the scent while allowing it to shimmer like ice catching sunlight.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points and let it settle for a few minutes. The grapefruit opening is bright but fades within an hour, making way for the warm spicy base notes that last through the day.
