Scent Profile
Top Notes: Opens with a zesty, aromatic burst of ginger and bergamot, accented by the herbal freshness of sage. This creates a spicy-citrus introduction that feels both invigorating and slightly tart, with a subtle plum undertone adding intrigue .
Heart Notes: The core transitions into a rich, earthy blend of cocoa absolute and vetiver, layered with smoky incense. This phase merges gourmand sweetness with woody depth, evoking a seductive, slightly resinous aura.
Base Notes: Anchored by patchouli and tonka bean, the dry-down exudes warm, creamy warmth with hints of labdanum for an ambery finish. The result is a sophisticated, long-lasting foundation that balances sweetness and earthiness.
Performance
Longevity: Exceptional, lasting 10–12 hours on skin, making it one of the strongest performers in the Bad Boy lineup. Ideal for all-day or night-long wear without reapplication.
Sillage: Projects boldly for the first 2–3 hours, leaving a noticeable trail. It moderates to a closer, intimate scent afterward, avoiding overwhelming crowds. Best suited for open or ventilated spaces.
Versatility
While its intensity leans toward nighttime and cooler seasons, it adapts to:
Casual Outings: Nightclubs, parties, or dinners where its boldness shines.
Romantic Settings: The warm, spicy-sweet profile enhances intimacy.
Avoid formal or office environments due to its assertive character.
Main Accords
The fragrance revolves around three dominant accords:
Spicy-Aromatic (top): Ginger and sage create a lively, peppery kick.
Gourmand-Woody (heart): Cocoa and vetiver blend sweetness with earthiness.
Ambery-Warm (base): Patchouli and tonka bean deliver resinous depth.
Season Compatibility
Optimal: Fall and winter, where its warm, smoky base complements crisp air.
Limited Use: Cool spring evenings; avoid high heat and humidity, as the leather and cocoa notes may become cloying
Suitability
Marketed primarily to men, its unisex potential lies in the balanced interplay of sweet cocoa, spicy ginger, and woody depth. While masculine-leaning, confident women seeking a bold, non-traditional scent may appreciate its complexity
