Carolina Herrera Bad Boy ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 21 June 2019 11 Comments

Carolina Herrera will launch Bad Boy, the masculine counterpart to 2016's Good Girl.

Bad Boy, the new masculine fragrance by Carolina Herrera, is a powerful and sophisticated scent for unique and irreverent men who dare to embrace all of the facets of contemporary manhood. The obscurity of Tonka Bean, Cacao and Ambar Wood contrasts with the luminosity of Sage, Black and White Pepper and Bergamot. The seductive aroma of Bad Boy is collected in an extremely distinctive flacon. Shaped as a lightning – symbol of heroism and strength in several cultures, this unique piece becomes a true object of desire.

Additional notes include cedar.

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

    Now, this is just silly. I only like silly, when it involves Monty Python.

      It is just a shame they didn’t put it in a wingtip oxford or a monk strap loafer. That would still not be monty python level funny, but it would at least be funny.

        I feel you would not be surprised to know that Avon did at least two boot-shaped bottles for men’s scents, one smooth and unadorned, one kitsched up to look like embossed or carved leather.

        But you may be surprised to know that Jeremy Scott did a fragrance in a sneaker-shaped bottle (with wings on it!) as a collaboration with Adidas. An actual, real thing.

          Yes, I remember the shoe…

          And Avon did a boot LE in modern times, too…I used it as a daily lemming!

    The heel, to me, was worse. The kitschiness reminds me of older Avon bottles.

      See, I actually like that bottle, a lot, because it’s not just a shoe, it’s an honest-to-god fetish pump. She really went there with it, and I admire that. It’s Tom Ford’s F*cking Fabulous without the smugness, or Etat Libre d’Orange without the archness. She took outré sex and got it right.

      This bottle, though, is just silly.

    I would love a monopoly style old boot bottle.

    I actually quite like the lightning bolt bottle as I do love camp.
    I hate both the names though so infantile and regressive!

    I’m not sure how many men would happily admit to wearing something with such a literal name either.

      Yes, I read the copy to my boyfriend, and he said no matter how good it smelled he wouldn’t wear it because he wouldn’t want to tell anyone who asked that he was wearing Bad Boy.

    Shaped as a lightning? Bazinga!
    I don’t know what’s worse: the bottle, the name or the notes that scream for a very unoriginal smell.
    Sure, the boys are bad and the girls are good.

    I wonder if Cher can outdo it with her new frag later this year with a ‘UNIQUE ‘ bottle. ??

    As she tweeted :

    Had 4 Hr Meeting With Perfume Company Last Night…OMG?
    ?I Have Prototype Of Bottle?
    It’s Remarkable. Comes Out In INOV.‼️
    PRES STARTS IN OCT.?
    BOTTLE IS BEAUTIFUL & UNIQUE???
