To Be Bad Guy

To Be Bad Guy is a sweet, gourmand-leaning masculine fragrance from the Italian brand Police, released in 2020. Half of those who describe it also call it floral, with spicy, woody, aromatic and citrus facets noticed by about a quarter.

It opens with mint and blood orange, a cool and juicy start, sharpened by green notes and a pinch of nutmeg and red thyme. The heart is unusual: green apple and a sorbet accord keep it chilled and fruity, while white flowers and geranium add a clean floral middle. The base is where the sweetness takes over, with caramel, tonka bean and vanilla giving a dessert-like warmth, and vetiver and musk adding a touch of dryness and softness.

A fruity-minty opening over a caramel base tends to suit casual wear and cooler evenings rather than formal settings. Community reports on longevity and projection are not yet available.
