Bad Boy, released by Carolina Herrera in 2019 for men and composed by Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner, is a spiced gourmand with a peppery start. Everyone describes it as spicy and gourmand; about half also find it green, woody and citrus.

The opening is sharp and bright, with white pepper and pink pepper giving a dry, tingling spice and bergamot a clean citrus lift. The heart is herbal and dry: clary sage brings a slightly bitter, tea-like greenness and cedar a clean, pencil-shaving wood, keeping the fragrance from turning sweet too early. The base is where the sweetness arrives, as tonka bean gives a warm, hay-like, almond-tinged richness and cocoa a dry, bitter chocolate.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, with nearly a third finding it long lasting; the trail is moderate, sometimes strong. It is voted for autumn and winter, and mainly for night. It suits cool evenings and anyone who likes a sweet scent with a peppery, slightly green edge rather than pure sugar.
