Bad Boy Le Parfum

This one right here? Different. Niche-like. Like it came from some underground fragrance lab run by a dude named Leafy Steve. And I picked up a 3.4 oz for $35. Yeah, the top was broken— but super glue said, “Hold my beer,” and now it’s good as new 🤣. But I could’ve sworn it said 4.20 ounce. This is a straight-up cannabis fragrance, and honestly? It’s the perfect gateway drug into the world of cannabis scents. A little spritz and suddenly you’re thinking, “Huh... maybe I would try something stronger.” Next thing you know, you’re in the bathroom mirror experimenting with Black Opium like it’s crystal meth of the fragrance world. To my nose, Carolina Herrera said: “What if we took premium cannabis... grew it with love... fed it organic unicorn soil... and sprinkled skunky grapefruit all over it?” Boom. Balanced with green notes, geranium, and woods like a fancy forest hiding a very relaxed bear. Synthetic? Bro, if this is synthetic, then clap for the chemist. Give that man a raise. Let him sit at the front of the class. Because it smells damn good. The opening is green, loud, and fragrant— like someone cracked open a fresh bag of top-shelf hydro straight from a dispensary that takes AMEX Platinum. And no—let me repeat— NO, you will not smell like you just smoked two blunts behind a Dollar General. Does Carlisle make you smell like you fell asleep in an ashtray? Does Mancera Red make you smell like a Marlboro? Exactly. Sit down. Cannabis is like tobacco’s cool cousin— fragrant, earthy, and created by the universe to smell good... not to make you paranoid and raid your own fridge. So enjoy it. No guilt. No judgment. Just vibes. ❤️ It’s weird in the best way. It’s different. And honestly? Take the dive. Your nose will thank you

Got this December of last year and I just want to say I haven't stopped loving it. This is not a skunky kind of cannabis, its fresh, green, and spicy. The grapefruit helps brighten the opening, it lingers for a bit. Upon first spray the grapefruit and cannabis are very dominant, then the grapefruit dissipates and while the cannabis slowly walks back the black pepper and geranium come in, but then those go away and you're left with a dry leather/vetiver combo with cannabis wayyy in the background. I thought this fragrance didn't last long at first however I was wrong, I get anosmic to this after about 3 hours, but this really lasts at least 10 hours on skin. I actually had my most unforgettable compliment in the first few days of wearing it, I was walking out of a Walmart through the parking lot and I heard a lady at least 20 feet away walking in my trail, eventually she had sped up to the side of me just to tell me how good I smelled. She said: "You smell so amazing! I smelled you from all the way over there! *points towards the Walmart entrance and completely changed her way of direction*" I would like to add, that was the 3rd or 4th hour of application. So if you can pull this off, and you wear an appropriate outfit for this fragrance, there is in fact a compliment factor! This will be forever be in my collection, if I hear a single valid rumor that this is getting discontinued, I'm buying as many bottles as I can. This is in my opinion, peak spring fragrance. This fragrance is the definition of divisive, and thats okay. Test to see if you hate it or love it:)

Salvador Dali Pour home reimagined for the modern era. It's the bitter green leather they both share: almost like pine rosin smeared over a black leather (with a tiny hint of skunk , too!) Incredible transitions from top to bottom, this is an excellent scent. Anyone else pick up a noticeable green and minty absinthe/wormwood note? It's the same note as in the new CK Reflections. It also smells a lot like the opening of Memoir Man, but here the note shows itself more in the base instead. The dark and smooth peppery woods also share some similarities with another favorite of mine, Joop Home absolute, just minus the overt florals. Creating something so unique and yet so wearable and - in the air at least - generally mass pleasing is the result of masterful perfumery. It doesn't smell at all the same but it calls to mind CdG Copper in how it features a brash opening with an overdose of an ingredient...said ingredient then moves to the back of the stage (but never exits) and exalts what would otherwise just be a nice dry down to something really special instead. In Copper it was galbanum, and here the bitter green "hemp accord". Brilliant stuff! Edited to add: sits in a similar olfactory realm as Memoir Man, too, each featuring a distinct wormwood note, and each having a smooth dark leather note. Bad boy feels more modern and the openings do diverge quite a bit, but still they evoke the same colors, blacks, purples and dark greens. Recommended for fans of either scent to check out the other!

My third Bad Boy, after the Extreme and Cobalt. This one has to grow on you, as testing this in stores was underwhelming. I caught this at a good price, and after seeing folks swear up and down this was the best in the line, I got it. The grapefruit and cannabis opening is sharp, but it's not off-putting in the air how it was on paper. The cannabis note here is the EXACT same as what's in Nasamotto's Black Afgano, the difference between the two fragrances is the Black Afgano is very dry and woody and Le Parfum is almost the complete opposite of that. Here, the cannabis is surrounded by sweet and powdery geranium, backed up with the spiciness via the pepper. One of the top reviews here says that it smells like "sweet weed candy", and I get that vibe myself; very enjoyable. I don't detect the leather much here, but the vetiver is present and adds some structure to the overall composition. Similar to the review below, my main gripes are that while it's very strong initially and lingers for a while after spraying, the longevity isn't the best. Kinda disappointing, but it's not a deal breaker. The Extreme is still my favorite, but all three of the Bad Boys are good and unique in their own ways. Carolina Herrera has done a great job with the Bad Boy line, as no other fragrance line can say I own three of their offerings. Le Parfum is the most "Bad Boy"-ish of the line, and the name suits it perfectly. 8/10

To start, this is my favourite out of the bad boy line. It’s a deep masculine and sexy scent which garners many compliments, not a mass appeal fragrance but it’s amazing if on the right person. People saying this just smells of weed must have a very poor sense of smell, it’s not the stoner’s type of weed smell but an earthy, slightly spicy and woody type note in the perfume, more of a forest type note. The beautiful citrusy grapefruit paired with the smoothness from the vetiver as the base, topped with leather, make this a very sexy masculine scent which most women really enjoy. I’ve been told I smell amazing many times when wearing this, this stuff has nuclear longevity and amazing projection. I smelt this for a solid month after spraying it on one of my hoodies. If the note of cannabis was unknown to a person when smelling this they wouldn’t have a clue it was in the fragrance. Not really an office friendly fragrance but great for date nights or going out with friends. The only negative I could give for this is the slightly “sweat” type smell in the opening, however, this disappears after a few minutes after spraying. Overall, a very good fragrance. Is it a blind buy? I wouldn’t say so. I’d recommend you sample it first before buying. Bad Boy Le Parfum is best in winter, autumn or spring in my opinion. Easy 9/10 for me and one of my favourites. May need to buy a few more soon just to stock up.
