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.

I was skeptical because I haven’t enjoyed the other Bad Boys I’ve smelled. But I saw it at Ulta Beauty, looked it up on Fragrantica, and saw the Cannabis. My fiancé is a weed fiend, and I happen to enjoy the scent of BUD. Not when it’s burning or is already burnt. But the smell of what in th bag is very pleasant for me. So I sprayed the tester directly on my arm. GORGEOUS! I could immediately smell the fresh bud that I so enjoy. It doesn’t smell skank or slinky, it’s subtle. It’s one of those “if you know, you know” kinds of things. If I hadn’t known it had cannabis I’m not entirely sure I would’ve noticed anything unusual and it would've been a fairly generic fresh frag. Still nice, but nothing really special. It's for this reason that I believe a HUGE part of this frag's success is the novelty of the cannabis. I did find it full bottle worthy, so am now a proud owner. i don't think it's a safe blind buy but it seems Ulta keeps the bad boy line available for testing. Give it a shot. even if you arent a fan of cannabis you might still enjoy it!

I'll start with the bad. For what it is it doesn't project for long. For the first hour with about 4 sprays it does smell strong and projects a few feet. By hour 2 that sillage goes away From something like this I expected much more than that. This bold fragrance deserves more than that . Yes it will stick to the skin for about 4 hours but that's if you're all up on it. Now the actual smell..The bites on here are pretty accurate..The vetiver with the mid.notes and grapefruit do give it that light cannabis note. It's bold it's smooth it's warm it's unique, I just really wish it had that oomph with the sillage and how long it lasts . Like I said the notes are pretty spot on. Just think of all that in a bold way. The grapefruit is all skin. The pepper is light. The vetiver mellows out the leather . It's not a leather punch once the base kicks in. It just helps carry the warmness with the velvet. Definitely a good summer and fall evening fragrance Scent -7.0 Complexity - 7.0 Quality -8.0 Performance -8.5 Bottle - 8.5

This is a unique fragrance, it makes many changes from start to finish, starts out fresh and bright, the hemp is in there kind of a hay smell in the background, then picks up some spicy sweetness. The dry down is clean smelling leather with some earthiness. So this is a stronger fragrance and really smells wonderful in the air and around. If you stick your nose into for the first half hour it may torture you nose. But this can be used anytime of the year just spray less in the warmer months. This would be ok in the office with just a few sprays, you will leave a scent trail and you will fill smaller areas, could be considered on the beastly side. If you test before you buy, don’t jam it in your nose wave it in front of you I think you will be surprised. This is a love for me, scent, performance and versatility 8+ all the way. The Bottle is a love or hate, I’m in the middle with a like, the atomizer works just fine by the way. Also this is not overly sweet, at least not on me, there is no tonka, vanilla or amber!

I really don't get the hate that this fragrance gets. For a designer, I always expect it to be unique and push boundaries, and become trendsetters. And unique this is. Honestly, when i smelled it the first time i really loved it. I think the polarizing opinions really stem from one's personal experiences with the hemp/cannabinoid notes (a prominent note in this frag). Personally, I love it, specially for colder weather and the evening. This will be cloying in hot weather as it might be too sweet for some, and the sillage and longetivity is HUGE (the grapefruit note isn't as prominent for me, so i disagree with those saying that this is citrusy). My point is, just be careful with your sprays, esp in hot weather. If you're thinking of getting this, buyer beware! Try a decant first. Or go to your local retailers and slather it on yourself. Try it out first! This is a polarizing frag, as you can see from most comments below. I like it, but you may not. Really, it's the 🌿😶🌫️.

Bad Boy Le Parfum, I would say one of the best flankers in my opinion. Right off the bat you get a really nice smoky grapefruit with a very subtle herbal/earthy backnote which I assume is cannabis. The opening is really nice and the opening lasts about 25 minutes with heavy projection on my skin. The heart of this fragrance is what really makes it shine, the herbal accords are really profound into about 1 - 3 hours of the fragrance, very aromatic, strong, and hypnotic as it is a inoffensive earthiness. The base notes are also quite good because it is a sensual, animalic leather that smells very nice on my skin. Overall, discretion is advised because this fragrance does smell extremely different on others skin. On my skin it is very nice with good projection for about 1 - 2 hours, and a nice inoffensive dry down from about 3 - 7 hours. Downside is that it is quite different on others skin where the cannabis is more profound and creates a very distracting loud opening.

This stuff is the literal SHIT! Got this when I was fourteen during Christmas of 2023, but at the time I had poor hygiene and didn't apply cologne properly and just sprayed it as a body mist. Despite applying it incorrectly at that time, however, it was still very strong and I did get a complaint from the teachers for wearing it from how strong it was (my school is fragrance free, so you can guess how that went). Two years later, I genuinely want another bottle of this fragrance, because this scent is super nostalgic for me despite getting this over two years ago. It just takes me back to a time when things were a little simpler and I was much stupider and happier, especially since my father was still alive back then (he passed away March 1st, 2025, rest in peace, Dad). Gonna try and obtain a 150ml bottle of this stuff, it's almost impossible to find in physical stores. EDIT: As of April 1st, 2026, I obtained myself a 100ml for $135 CAD, and it smells so damn good!

This is one of the few fragrances I own that I would actually describe as sexy. The persistent and dense cannabis and leather combo is excellent and I don't understand how this, of all the garbage cluttering up the Bad Boy line, is considered the worst. It's easily the best to me next to the original release. It's rich, potent, and very wearable. The sweet Bad Boy core is still intact. Sweet, but still very masculine. Finding this at an absurdly low price was like finding a pearl hidden in the muddy vanilla tonka stew of elixir releases. I can definitely understand cannabis/vetiver not playing well with some skin types so you should try to sample it first. If cannabis is not something you enjoy smelling, avoid this one. It's a "top" note in the pyramid but you will be smelling it for a good 8 hours. If you like a good bold green fragrance you will regret not trying this one. Honestly this is what I wished Hindu Kush had smelled like.

The "Baddest" Boy! This is incredibly pleasant both in the air and on skin. Love the exit, very fresh and potent; you can pick up an interesting vibe from the cannabis/hemp note present in the fragrance - completely different from the EDT Bad Boy being bore interesting and mysterious as well. You can wear this anywhere but night events in cooler weather definitely call out for this. It feels fresh for the full longevity of the cologne, without being overly sweet in the dry down. The grapefruit really grabs and lingers for more than I expected it to. Very masculine, this is an attention grabber for sure! It does project a lot from my clothes, though it projects moderately, within the first 2h tops, ad lingers on the skin for about 5-6h until it becomes a full on skin scent. Great buy, especially being heavily discounted already in online discounters for fragrances (I got mine from MAXAROMA).

You have to give Carolina Herrera credit when it comes to their Bad Boy line. For a mainstream fragrance house, they're pretty daring with some of their ingredients. I was not expecting Cannibis Leaf when I first samped Le Parfum. I'm not a fan of the smell of Cannabis being smoked. In fact, I find the smell pretty repugnant. However, the smell of the leaf itself used here is completely different. It's very green and herbal, but I can totally understand the the divisive reaction from the fragrance community since its release. Personally, it smells like nothing I've smelled before, and because of that, I really enjoy wearing it. It doesn't feel mainstream to me, and I think it works well blended with the Grapefruit. I wouldn't recommend blind buying it, but I would certainly recommend trying it out in store. Longevity and sillage is solid on my skin. I really enjoy wearing this.

I love the scent. It smells fresh yet has that parfum deepness. It lasts a long time and it smells really good. I wear it to work in an office as long as you don’t put too much on. It’s OK. I don’t get the cannabis smell very much maybe because I smoke it and I really like the smell of it I was hoping for more of a weed mug smell, but it’s not that. You can kind of smell like a hemp as soon as you spray it but it’s gone in like a minute for me, but I love this drys down into a soft smooth goodness. Kind of burns a little bit when I put it on. I looked at the sent vote and everybody says they can smell the cannabis, but I’m constantly smelling my hand where I sprayed it and I don’t smell cannabis at all. It smells like a smooth floral little spicy grapefruit, lingers a smidge after the opening the leathers light not overbearing. All in all I love it. It’s really underrated.

Shit on this all you want because it smells like weed or because the bottle is corny. This smells amazing. It’s so intriguing and alluring once you get passed the opening. It’s very aromatic with slight sweetness and the bitterness of the cannabis is not off putting to my nose at all. Not to mention performance on this is crazy. Sprayed this on a tester next to YSL y edp and this overpowered Y in the intensity and longevity (ik tester strip is not the same as skin but still) that should give you an idea of how strong of a performer it is. This fragrance is pretty unique and will set you apart. The only down side I can see with this is the bottle literally looks like a child’s toy so I couldn’t store it anywhere without it looking goofy. Overall, this smell is very addicting and has beastmode performance, the only downside is the bottle.

So after almost a month after purchasing a bottle of this, and I’m ready to share my experience. First of all, anyone who says this “just smells like cannabis” needs to grow up. Nobody will pick up on the hemp note unless it is pointed out, and even then they will be surprised. Now that I’ve gotten got out of the way, this fragrance is phenomenal. It’s funny how the scents rated the lowest on fragrantica usually are my favorites. Take every review on here with a grain of salt, including mine. Try it out for yourself and form your own opinion. This draws attention. It is an intriguing, damp, pungent fragrance that will turn heads. It starts out resinous and slightly animalic in the opening, and dries down to a powdery, sweet, earthy leather. Keep sleeping on this one, I don’t want everyone to smell like me anyway.

Bad Boy Le Parfum, klasik Bad Boy’un isyankar ruhunu alıp ona daha karanlık, daha gizemli bir hava katmış. Bu kokuda ilk karşıma çıkan notalar: greyfurtın ferahlığı ile karabiberin keskinliği oluyor. Açılışta hafif bir patlama hissi... Sanki geceye hazırlanan bir adam, aynanın karşısında son düğmesini ilikliyor gibi. Koku ilerledikçe deri notası ortaya çıkıyor. Yoğun, karizmatik ve erkeksi. Deri burada oldukça belirgin ama boğucu değil — daha çok bir motorcu ceketi gibi: sert ama stil sahibi. Vetiver ve sandal ağacı kapanışı yumuşatıyor ama parfümün karanlık havasını koruyor. Bad Boy Le Parfum, gündüzden çok geceye, yazdan çok kışa ait. Sert mizacı, sakin ortamlarda bile fark ediliyor. Çekici, biraz gizemli, biraz da ukala bir duruşu var. Sanki “fazla yaklaşma ama ilgini çekebilirim” diyen bir adamın kokusu gibi.

i recently got this and i personally enjoy this fragrance, i don’t understand why it gets hate maybe on the count it has a Cannabis note but in my opinion i don’t really get that note, at most for me i do smell it in the opening but then it dries down to the point we’re you don’t smell the Cannabis anymore. Also to mention the projection and longevity on this is honestly incredible i get like 9+ hours with this and get told i can be smoked from like 6 feet away, some people did mention the Cannabis scent and were skeptical on why i smelled like that but then i tell em it’s just the cologne. If your skeptical in buying it don’t be but just try it out before making the purchase because again the Cannabis note will get you questioned but at the end of they day this fragrance is honesty amazing in my book. 👍🏼

As a cannabis consumer, I thought I'd love this fragrance at first sniff. Honestly I did not, in fact I was repulsed by it. Then I realised that I didn't give that fragrance a fair review, so I decided to try it again, this time I figured its best I just wear it on my skin for the whole day and see if I'll still react the same way. Well to my surprise it was a lot better. The earthy, gourmand nature of this fragrance is amazing on skin, but I must say that this fragrance is NOT blind buy worthy, this one is not mass appealing like the other bad boy flankers. This fragrance is more challenging and more artistic. I love the fact that the cannabis note is not stinky, but it adds a layer of freshness and earthiness to it. Definitely one I want to add to my collection ASAP
