Check Out This Bad Boy

Bad Boy was first launched in 2019 with it’s notes of smoky sage, tonka bean, and cocoa. It’s had a range of followup iterations in the years since, and now we’re being introduced to the Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir. The girls aren’t being left out, they’re getting their own Good Girl Blush Elixir which I presume smells like sugar and spice and all things nice.

Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir is a fiery blend of sage, black truffle, and resinous wood. The real standout is this packaging that tried to take “capturing lightning in a bottle” far too literally. It looks gravity defining with it’s subtle base propping up it’s sculptural ingenuity. I appreciate anything that is both useful and makes my nightstand look classy at the same time. Who said sculptures needed to be inert.

“Bad Boy, which took three years to develop, has exceeded our expectations. It’s a best-seller all over the world and one of the most celebrated masculine scents,” says Carolina A. Herrera. “Creating this fragrance that reinvents the myth of the rebel, we’ve revamped the whole idea of fougère, the olfactory backbone of masculine perfumery. It’s classic and cutting edge all at once.”
