Bad Boy Extreme

This stuff is nice.. I'm not a huge fan of the opening but the longer it settles the better it smells. The base is where it's at. The beginning does smell kind of similar (keywords kind of) to Invictus Victory Elixir by Rabanne but the dry down and base notes remind me of Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier. As much as I like this, I don't think it stands out enough to the point where I will purchase another decant of this and most certainly not a full bottle, but if the price is right I just might. I say give it a try if you're on the fence, but I would get a travel sized spray before investing in a full sized bottle. I give this a 7.5 out of 10.

timedog, go take your fragile victim mentality away somewhere else, the guy said it smells like something the types of people that hang around gas stations at night buying scratch-offs would wear... they never mentioned race, that's just something you conjured up (maybe you're the real racist if race is the first thing you see as most would see it as a class issue rather than race) and it's just as descriptive as saying another fragrance smells like something a ceo wears so maybe take that chip off your shoulder and you will be a happier person

I've had this one for well over a year now. I was wanting something darker and I wore this indoors today because it's too hot outside and I just want to make a few comments about this fragrance. I thoroughly enjoyed Invictus Victory Elixir and Victory Absolu even more. This fragrance takes the general idea of those two and just takes it to a whole other level. It stronger, better projecting and longer lasting than either of those two and the vitiver and plum along with the cocoa and patchouli just add a balsamic sexiness to this fragrance that very few modern day scents can eclipse. It's so aromatic and yet balmy, seductive and raunchy. Women go crazy and will chase you down in the store to ask you what you are wearing. Hacivat is the only other fragrance that I have had people chase me down to ask what I was wearing. I can't recommend it more highly than I do. There just aren't more than a select few of today's fragrances that are equal to this one in my opinion. Get a sample or if you like Victory Absolu then this is easily a safe blind buy.

Bad Boy Extreme quickly became one of my top five vanilla‑based power scents. I recently ordered my second 150 ml bottle, which says a lot about how addictive this fragrance is. Quentin Bisch created a modern composition, strong cacao and patchouli, gives it a dark provocative character but it still feels smooth and masculine.The performance is excellent: long lasting with great projection, easily noticeable. It has that unmistakable style of Paco Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier, or Carolina Herrera — sweet, confident, and masculine.Every time I wear it, I get compliments and people ask me what is it. It's definitely top 10 in my collection. And Bisch is my top 5 perfumer.

My second bottle of this fragrance just arrived. One spray to my inner left elbow...room filled with the most beautiful PLUM-CACAO scent!! I LOVE IT!!!! I won't be giving away this bottle! EDIT: whoa...this bottle is a LOT stronger than the first one I gave away. I put on too many sprays the second day and it gave me a headache! That hardly EVER happens with ANY fragrances i own. Heck, I have put on 8-10 sprays of the og Red Tobacco without issue.

Don't know why I got a prominent cocoa off tester strip when I first tried this. Off skin I get more of a Tonka bean/plum combo and comes across like JPG Scandal Absolut a lot! Just a less honeyed, more coconutty, slightly darker version. Turns into this nice, sweet, musky lotion in the dry down and seems to last forever until scrubbed off.

7/10 Chocolate, caramel, gourmand. It's decent but painfully simple. Also smells a bit like a mall to me for some reason.

I picked this up a couple of years ago at Manchester airport . 100ml for 70 pound and for that price an absolute steal . It’s one of my favourites, amazing scent profile and long lasting . Took it on holiday that year and it was a great night time fragrance.

I WANTED to like this, as I like every other Bad boy other then the new Cobalt absolute but love the two elixers and le parfum. Versace crystal noir Parfum is my signature scent despite being marketed to women, and I figured Bad Boy Exteme would be up my alley as it shares some similarities. It doesn’t smell bad. This smells like some thug off the street trying way too hard to impress a girl and blasts their stereos at every stop light thinking the neighborhood wants to hear their crap. That’s my first thought after 5 seconds. I keep trying every 5 days, nope. It’s very heavy yes, again kinda juvenile urban obnoxious ghetto vibe. If you’re the person playing scratch offs at the local gas station this is for you! Had to mix with good girl to tone down the part I didn't like.

Very good release from Carolina Herrera. Weirds me out how this is actually one of their more "affordable" scents when it is in my opinion the best fragrance the line offers (along with cobalt edp being a close 2nd). for a winter designer it has that uniqueness which i always appreciate, the cacao in this is not cloying and obnoxious but rather dry, earthy from the patchouli, balanced out with the plum and resins in the background. it also has that fresh coconut vibe which doesnt last long from the opening. In terms of overall performance this has never betrayed me during last November/December when i wore it most. about 8-9 hours longevity total on my skin with good initial projection. It can potentially choke people out in closed spaces or small rooms so dont go over 5 sprays in those situations. otherwise if youre outside with this and its cold, apply as you like and enjoy the positive attention. Not for everybody so try before purchasing Longevity: 8.5/10 Projection: 9/10 Smell: 9/10 Packaging: 6/10 Bottle: 9.5/10

almost a week of using this, well its so good cause is not linear, it somehow has transition to two to three phase which is very good. value for money is very high.

Just like the comment below, I smell This coconuty vibe maybe due to the cocoa and plum combination. Its like having a sunscreen vibe, which for me a good thing so i could wear it in summer. Nice fragrance though very good performer

Much more than just a sweet cocoa fragrance This perfume intrigued me a bit at first. I picked it up very cheap during a sale, keeping in mind that it's one of the most popular designer fragrances for the nightlife At first I couldn't really connect with the scent. On the few occasions I wore it, everyone complimented it brutal performance and it's one of my girlfriend’s favorites but even so, that incense heavy, balsamic side mixed with the sweetness bothered me a little. Today, out of nowhere, I felt like taking the time to analyze it calmly at home, and I finally managed to appreciate the beauty of this creation much more. Bad Boy Extreme opens with a blast of cacao, but not in the purely sweet and creamy way most chocolate fragrances do. Here it comes loaded with incense, dry, balsamic and powdery nuances, creating something very distinctive, addictive, sexy and full of personality worthy of its name. To me, it feels like a niche fragrance disguised as a designer, much like its brother Bad Boy Le Parfum. Even though it’s relatively dense and complex, the fragrance is quite linear. On my nose, the notes that stand out the most are, respectively: cacao, incense, patchouli, plum, vetiver, resins, tonka bean and sage. Together they create a bittersweet scent that blends the sweetness of cacao, tonka and plum with a balsamic incense made of resins and woods. Occasionally there’s also a very light aromatic touch in the middle I believe the sage and some of the lighter notes contribute to that but mainly just to balance the composition. I’ve always tried to find references of cacao, brownie, cake or dark chocolate here, since I work with confectionery. The closest aromatic reference would be that very dry, strong and bitter alkalized cocoa powder. It’s the kind of smell that divides opinions, but when handled properly just like in this perfume it becomes something truly enjoyable. Performance-wise, this one is a little beast: longevity easily surpasses 10 hours and projection is strong for quite a while clearly designed to dominate the room. In short, Bad Boy Extreme is for those who want a sweet nighttime fragrance that doesn’t feel juvenile or clubby. What you get here is something dense, mature, extremely seductive and full of personality. With brutal performance and a fair price for what it delivers, this is a great success from Carolina Herrera. 8.5/10

After testing several options from this line, I finally found the CH BB flanker that rings my bell! While BB Extreme will not impress a niche enthusiast looking for something special, Extreme balances a gourmand sweetness and fresh earthiness to something people will enjoy, but want a step out of the ordinary. Bad Boy Extreme truly shines with its impressive performance! While the sillage and projection of the fragrance are moderate (about 3 arms lengths for projection) for the first 4-6 hours, they are still noticeable to those around you without being overpowering. However, the scent is not strong enough to announce your presence in a room unless someone has a sensitive nose. This is the balance most people seek. The real highlight of this fragrance, though, is its remarkable longevity. The scent lingers on the skin for the entire day and might last until the next morning (although I did not test this beyond 16 hours at the time of this review). No need to reapply the scent throughout the day. Seasonally, Bad Boy Extreme's cocoa-forward scent is best suited for cooler weather and fits incredibly well with the festive atmosphere of fall and winter. However, I have reservations about how the fragrance would fare in the summer daytime heat. Based on my experiences with tonka bean-based fragrances in hot weather, this is probably a terrible idea. Socially, the fragrance is potent enough that it is wise to apply it sparingly in shared spaces such as schools or offices. If you plan to go out for the evening, then you can easily put on 4-5 sprays, this will cut through the cold and stands out in the crowds. Overall, Bad Boy Extreme is a pleasant cocoa fragrance that represents a notable improvement from its original predecessor. While it may not appeal to fragrance enthusiasts seeking unique or complex compositions, it is a viable option for those looking for a gourmand scent with longevity. Now that it has been on the market for a few years, you can pick this up for a very fair price at discounters. I got the 1.7oz bottle for $60 at Fragrance Shop online, which is a very good value considering how much performance you are getting in addition to the smooth sweet gourmand scent profile.

Performance and sillage on this is amazing. After 12+ hours my wife was still saying she can smell this on me at about arms length. The scent profile is a nice smooth airy cocoa. Definitely recommend.

Perfection in a bottle. Imagine an earthy and sweet chocolate fragrance and that's this. 10/10 still love it just as much as the day I bought it.

This is the last time I'm buying blindly, and the last time I'm buying something over 100 bucks. It's a pleasant perfume, but you're only paying for the brand and a nice bottle (some say it's tacky, but I find it kinda cool). I was gonna buy the 'originals' this year, but I’ve come to the conclusion that reputable clone brands actually have quality on par with designers for a fraction of the price. And this one smells better on clothes than on skin.

Is it just me, or is there a very strong musk that grows as it dries down? Ruins the whole thing.

The first designer which I really wanted to own and I am at my second bottle already. Cacao dominant, with whiffs of ginger at the start and a smoky tonka drydown Love at first smell, but beware, overspraying this causes headaches

''Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Extreme'' En Sexy Paçuli notası- Bad Boy EDT’yi ilk çıktığı günden beri severek kullandım. Parfüm yolculuğumda keşfettiğim ilk kokulardan biridir. Zaman içerisinde çok sayıda parfüm deneyimledim, burnum gelişti ve daha farklı koku profillerine yöneldim. Agar ağacı (oud) notasını sevmeyi ve tanımayı öğrendim. Paçuliyle tanıştım. Odunsu notaları daha derinlikli bir şekilde algılamaya başladım. Bu gelişim sürecinden sonra Bad Boy Extreme ile karşılaştım ve bu durum bende ciddi bir heyecan yarattı. Şimdi burnumun bana neler anlatacağına bakalım. İlk sıkımda aldığım notalar kakao kabuğu, paçuli ve siyah kabuklu bir vanilya hissi oldu. Yaklaşık 20 saniye sonra burnumu tekrar götürdüğümde, bu kez araya giren dumansı yapıyı net şekilde fark ediyorum. Karşımda daha sert, daha maskülen bir karakter duruyor. Topraksı yönü güçlendirilmiş, tatlılık törpülenmiş ve tütsü ile derinlik kazandırılmış bir yapı var. Gerçekten başarılı bir çalışma. Bir saat sonrasında koku yavaş yavaş sakinleşmeye ve daha derine inmeye başlıyor. Yarım kol mesafesinde bir silaj sunuyor. Tonka fasulyesinden gelen tatlılık, vanilyamsı bir his bırakıyor ancak bu tatlılık uzun süre kalmıyor ve yerini kuru, koyu bir paçuliye bırakıyor. Parfüm bu şekilde dengeli ve karakterli bir kapanış yapıyor. . . . I have been using Bad Boy EDT with great pleasure since its initial release. It is one of the very first fragrances I discovered at the beginning of my perfume journey. Over time, I experienced many different fragrances, my nose developed, and I started gravitating toward more complex scent profiles. I learned to appreciate and recognize agarwood (oud). I became familiar with patchouli. I began to understand woody notes in a much deeper and more nuanced way. After this progression, I came across Bad Boy Extreme, and it immediately created a strong sense of excitement in me. Now, let’s see what my nose has to say. At the first spray, the notes I pick up are cocoa shell, patchouli, and a dark, almost black-skinned vanilla. About 20 seconds later, when I bring my nose back, I clearly detect the smoky structure weaving through the composition. There is a much more intense and masculine character standing before me. The earthy facets are emphasized, the sweetness is toned down, and depth is achieved through incense. Overall, it is a very well-crafted composition. After about an hour, the fragrance begins to settle and sink deeper into the skin. It projects with a silage of about half an arm’s length. The sweetness derived from tonka bean gives a vanilla-like impression at first, but it does not linger for long and gradually gives way to a dry, dark patchouli. The fragrance comes to an end in this balanced and characterful manner. 10/9.1

This one slaps!!!!! Put this on at around 6:30am ish and was still getting compliments at around 1:00pm. Gets a lot of love from the ladies.

I prefer the OG than this the drydown is too coconutty.. I've found it is very close to Rabanne Invictus Victory elixir

Rich, dry, cut up chocolate explosion sits on a bed of patchouli sage vetiver with some fresh fruitiness. I get the coconut associations in the dry down. This is a mix of gourmand X aromatic. Think of dark temptation body wash, more high quality and dry instead of the wett creamy texture the deo spray has. Lasts long. Projects well enough to cut through the cold. 100€ for 100 ml is a bit of a let down, though. Shame there are no dupes of this.

Love and hate this. The opening to mid, not the biggest fan of the aromatic fruity chocolate nutty millieu, but the tonka bean, patchouli dry down I love.

chocolaty, nutty, love it. i got it a couple weeks ago and already half the bottle is empty.

Opens with a beautiful powdery nutty cacao, Then dries down into a fruity coconut sweet scent like le beau line/scandal line/victory elixir. A very loud sweet scent.

Drbilal, average performance?? You need to sock your nose you are nose blind. Or you got a dupe. This is nuclear ⚡

Nice frag, average performance

It reminds me of a chocolate coconut cream pie it’s definitely the most unique flanker of the line, it’s nice and gourmand without straying too far away from being a male leaning fragrance ! Rating 8.5/10

If you have Invitus Victory elixir layer them together smells amazing
