Carolina Herrera Bad Boy EDP – Will's Review

Bad Boy Eau de Parfum takes the bold, playful energy of the original and gives it a deeper, richer twist. While the original Bad Boy EDT was all about sweet, spicy appeal, the EDP version leans more mature, smooth, and seductive, with a slightly darker and more rounded profile.

The opening hits with a warm blend of grapefruit, black pepper, and hemp. Yes—hemp. It adds an earthy, herbal edge to the freshness, immediately making this version feel more intriguing than the EDT. The grapefruit is still there but toned down, giving the scent a more grounded introduction.

As it dries down, geranium, black vanilla, amber, and leather begin to take over. The sweetness is much more controlled than the EDT, replaced by a warm, resinous smoothness. The vanilla and leather combo gives it a confident, sensual finish without going overboard.

Performance is solid. Expect around 8–10 hours of longevity with medium projection. It’s not a room-filler, but it hangs close enough to get noticed—and makes an impact in more intimate settings.

The bottle maintains the signature lightning bolt shape, now in a sleek matte black with gold trim, representing the darker and more refined nature of the scent inside.

Overall, Bad Boy EDP is a more balanced, grown-up take on the original. It keeps the fun and flair, but tones down the sweetness and turns up the warmth and mystery.

Best suited for: Date nights, evenings, fall/winter wear, casual luxury, semi-formal events.

Pros:

  • Warm and smooth vanilla-leather combo

  • More refined and wearable than the EDT

  • Unique notes (hemp, vanilla, amber)

  • Strong bottle presentation

Cons:

  • Still a designer-level composition (not niche-depth)

  • Lightning bolt bottle can be polarizing

  • Projection is moderate—not beast mode
