Received this free from Influenster just in time to surprise my husband with his first full-sized fragrance. He's been hoarding samples for years and gave his rating and review a lot of thought. I hope you all find it as adorable as I do. He really likes the fresh, masculine scent – the grapefruit balancing out the woodsy notes makes this a great any-day for anyone kind of fragrance. (If you've smelled Dior's Sauvage, you'll get what I'm trying to say here.) He also loves the matte black finish of the bottle. But this fragrance didn't have staying power – he applied in the morning and it was pretty much gone after lunch. So he took off a star for that, and another one for the overall branding. The lightning bolt, for him, didn't make a lot of sense. More glam rock ... MoreReceived this free from Influenster just in time to surprise my husband with his first full-sized fragrance.

The lightning bolt, for him, didn't make a lot of sense. More glam rock than "bad boy," and as much as he loves anything that makes him think of Bowie, he found it a little confusing.

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Le Parfum is an absolute standout. The bottle's lightning bolt design immediately caught my eye, and the scent inside did not disappoint. The initial spicy notes make a bold entrance, followed by a beautiful blend of florals that adds a touch of sophistication. It's become a favorite in my collection, offering a perfect balance of confidence and elegance. If you're looking for a fragrance that makes a statement without being overpowering, Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Le Parfum is a definite win.

Incentivized review* On first impression - Packaging- usually I dislike any oddly shape bottles, but I thought this black matte lightning bolt shape was very sleek and cool. I could see this taking up a bit of room and could be viewed as tacky for older men. - Scent-at first the spray was very pungent and strong. I mostly noticed an herbal/green note as well as a sweet citrus. After the reading the description I found out it was hemp- makes a lot of sense. I think this is a very cool/on trend addition to a scent, however I didn’t prefer this note. After the Dry Down - After about 10 minutes I enjoyed the scent much much more! The lasting power is impressive. The herbal notes became more subdue and spicy /woody notes were a bit more prominent. Overall - I believe ... MoreIncentivized review* On first impression - Packaging- usually I dislike any oddly shape bottles, but I thought this black matte lightning bolt shape was very sleek and cool.

Forget about the cannabis. I love the smell of cannabis and I can promess you that there is no chance that this note is in the top note. Not a tiny bit of it. This is a fail in this sense, they really failed the cannabis note big time. Good thing in my opinion... But the idea of this bad boy smelling leather and cannabis was quite a striking concept anyway. Bad boy is very aromatic and leathery, this bad boy is not that bad, not that ugly or that naughty, not mysterious neither... he is a regular young guy going out. It smells like grapefruit (I would have guessed bergamot), leather and vetiver. I get the pepper here and there, but this is not dominant. The result is smooth, uncomplicated, masculine but a bit unisex too, quite young, harmonious, really not a ... MoreForget about the cannabis.

The result is smooth, uncomplicated, masculine but a bit unisex too, quite young, harmonious, really not a powerhouse or anything that strong or that masculine and dark. It's fresh overall and pleasant. There is no reinvention here, just a classic aromatic scent, but not fresh out of the shower, more like a night time aromatic maybe. Smooth would be the best word to describe it. The leather is dry (if that means something!), it's not sweet and realistic like Ombre leather, it don't smell like a real leather coat, the leather goes smoothly and innocently in an aromatic blend that is more scratchy to the nose but still charming. That's cute, that's a like for me. Great first leather. The drydown becomes a bit more floral. The longevity is very good. I don't find it captivating or addictive, it don't has this factor at all for me where my heart melts and I imagine a hug or a man, maybe it's not warm enough, maybe because of the absence of woody notes under. It's fresh and clean, pleasant and smooth.

I thoroughly enjoy the scent. It’s got a light sort of fruitiness, but it’s also very masculine mild mild musky scent.  I could see someone using this for an every day cologne, not just for special occasions. It should definitely be in your rotation if you’re looking for something new to add to your collection. The bottle is pretty cool look and I think I like the lightning design, and the matte black gives it a very unique look. I recommend this for anyone looking for a new scent I recommend this for anyone looking for a new scent to add to the collection, or somebody just looking for a good every day cologne.  feel like one spray is enough, it gives you a good amount, you could also spray onto your wrists and rub together.

Bad Boy Le Parfum

This is a refreshing perfume that delivers experience, pleasure, and a mild scent that delivers and performs all day long. It performs well as an all-occasion fragrance that I use daily with periodic spritzes during the day. In addition, I’ll use the fragrance for evening events and special occasion activities. I enjoy the smell and the performance of the BadBoy Perfume. It performs so well that it is now my daily and evening “go-to” fragrance.It has an excellent fragrance that complements my skin or face without any irritation or rash. The fragrance is not overwhelming especially when I apply it after shaving or as a touch-up during the day. Once you apply the perfume it comes on strong and then turns subtle and pleasant as you go through activities during the ... MoreThis is a refreshing perfume that delivers experience, pleasure, and a mild scent that delivers and performs all day long.

Once you apply the perfume it comes on strong and then turns subtle and pleasant as you go through activities during the day. I found it best to apply the perfume around the neck, behind the ears, forehead, and face for a long-lasting result. It has an amazing scent and is a trendsetter for me.I give the BadBoy Perfume a 5-STAR Rating.

Manly daily smell

This cologne does not project off to much, but it’s wonderful for a calm date, or going somewhere fancy. The smell when first sprayed comes off as strong but once it wears on to your body through the day it starts to smell better. I feel like you can use this as a daily cologne it gives off a hemp smell mixed with other sweet scents however it is a powerful elegant smell which makes it unique in its own way. Overall i love the smell it gives off a manly smell. I wore it for a week straight 2 sprays and it would last all day as it would fade the smell would change to smell even better

Not impressed

Sending what equates to a perfume counter sample in exchange for some lengthy review is insane. I review scents and make recommendations to people when I have a legit amount of product to test. No one can honestly make a valid review of any scent based on one tiny sample bottle. There are weather conditions, seasonal conditions etc that need to be taken into consideration. Stop being cheap and expecting people to push your product for a sample that anyone can walk in and get numerous of. No thanks. Sephora, this multi million dollar company expecting influencers to push their products by sending them a counter sample vile thats not enough to even wear one time.

One of the best smelling fragrances of all time!

This is a fantastic fragrance. I think this is best for spring and fall, but it can definitely be worn year-round. I also find this to have an extremely sweet, fruity smell with leather underneath. I think that this is a nice addition to any fragrance collection. When I go out, I like smelling good. A nice cologne is not only necessary for me, but also economical.It smelled really good on my skin, and I loved the little wafts of fragrance as I tackled each problem that arose at work. Knowing you smell good brings a unique confidence throughout your day, and this Bad Boy exceeds expectations here. I could still smell it at the end of the day, after receiving some compliments about smelling good.I really recommend this cologne and can’t wait to wear it again ... MoreThis is a fantastic fragrance.

Solid Smell, Doesn't last long.

Starting off with the smell, the smell is absolutely amazing, the notes hit just as the are advertised and are much stronger than most colognes in its price range. Secondly the quality of the bottle/not good, I had to manage to extract the liquid to another container due to the bottle not spraying at all. It took about 2 hours to do and I feel for the price range it should have been better quality. (Lost 1 Star) Value, the value of this cologne in my personal opinion is sub-par. It doesn't seem to match the value I have with similar colognes such as Sauvage or D&G LB, especially with the quality of the bottle. Durability/lasting times, about 2-2.5 hours at best. I was disappointed with the lasting results with this one. I expected much more from a cologne that costs ... MoreStarting off with the smell, the smell is absolutely amazing, the notes hit just as the are advertised and are much stronger than most colognes in its price range.

I was disappointed with the lasting results with this one. I expected much more from a cologne that costs me over 100. Finally, Appearance, the overall mods this Cologne goes for is a more modern / sophisticated attire feel. The time to wear this is definitely Late summer and fall. Overall I rate this a 3/5, the bottle being broken and the smell lasting length really hit this review number. With that being I do like it but unfortunately don't think it's worth 130.00.
