Excellent perfume; I’ve been using it for three months and have no complaints. The opening is clearly chocolate, then it shifts to a lovely scent. The longevity is excellent; it lasts long enough for a night out with air conditioning and a bit more. I’ve used it in hot climates and the scent is still very good. Recommended.
One of the most explosive openings I’ve ever smelled. At first, such intense cocoa that it tickles your nose. The dry-down is a total treat: intense but pleasant chocolate and masculine. The performance is insane: it projects easily for three hours and is detectable on the skin for over ten. A great fragrance for going out with friends, highly recommended if you’re looking for something explosive. 9/10.
Bad Boy Extreme is spicy, aromatic, and chocolatey. The opening is spicy with a fruity touch, mostly chocolatey. It lasts 30 minutes before becoming more aromatic with patchouli, tonka bean, and a balsamic amber. The scent is attractive, tasty, sweet, and spicy. Preferably for night, couple outings, or cold autumn and winter days. It lasts 8-9 hours on me, with a good trail initially that fades gradually. Recommended for those who like sweet scents, in the style of recent Le Male. It smells good, though not very versatile due to the warmth, but it is tasty.
Carolina Herrera’s Bad Boy Extreme is warm, sweet, and cosy from the start. I don’t understand why they don’t list nut as a note, as the opening features ambered nutmeg with tonka bean. I recommend it for the night; forget it if it’s very hot. It’s a youthful, coquettish incense and patchouli. For young people, parties, or dates. The bottle and the scent are spectacular and very potent. Very rich and addictive.
This fragrance attracts too many compliments; everyone will want to eat you up. It smells chocolatey, elegant, sexy, and masculine, lasting 8-11 hours depending on the climate and body chemistry. It’s versatile and elegant, a 10/10. It’s worth the price and comes with a fairly good atomiser.
Review of Bad Boy Extreme: I’ve had it since launch. To me, this should have been the EDT and the original should be the ‘lite’. Upon spraying, it’s a blast of chunky cocoa, earthy and rich. Then the cornflower enters, adding a brief feminine touch, followed by tonka bean. The combo is very sexy but very intense for my nose. It projects like a semi-beast mode, flooding rooms and is loud, though there’s more to come. This phase lasts about two hours, smelling of broken chocolate and tonka bean, and has earned me many compliments. As it dries down, the cocoa recedes to reveal vetiver and incense, something burnt and not very serious, with ginger at the base. I prefer this phase; it projects moderately to a metre and leaves a nice trail. It lasts 5-7 hours in this phase and up to 10-12 in total. It lacks versatility: only for night or cold weather; if you wear it on a hot day, you’ll be suffocated. Ideal for clubs or night parties. Recommended for guys aged 17 to 30. Longevity: 9.7, Projection: 8.75. I recommend it, yes. If you have the EDT, go for the EDP Extreme; they are different.
One of the worst fragrances I’ve tried. It smells extremely artificial; I know it’s a designer scent, but it smells like low-quality cocoa powder. Even a cheap instant chocolate drink smells more natural than this.
The opening smells incredible, but once the initial chocolate fades, it settles into a sweet, synthetic incense scent that’s a bit unpleasant. Considering the quality, performance, and price, I don’t think it’s worth it.
Only the opening is wow; afterwards, it turns sour in the worst possible way. It smells cheap; here you’re paying for the packaging and the bottle, but the juice inside… no comments.
Absolutely essential for me, it smells of hazelnut liqueur. It has that sweetness women adore, even though it’s marketed for men. It’s a dark fragrance, perfect for night parties; perhaps too intense for dates, but I wouldn’t rule it out.
An absolute delight.
Chocolate and more chocolate. Compliments by the dozen. 10/10 and eternal longevity.
The opening is impressive, but once it settles, it reminds me of any Puig fragrance with tonka bean. It’s a shame because if the opening lasted longer it would be stunning, plus it’s very long-lasting. It’s a pity that so many fragrances share the same base; constantly smelling the same youthful, cloying aroma becomes high and tiresome.
Creamy chocolate delight.
My go-to party fragrance by far, tonnes of compliments, and spectacular longevity.
You’ll be a human chocolate bar; women will devour you. That said, friend, the perfume doesn’t do all the work: have a good shower before using this secret weapon and plenty of self-confidence to take on the world.
I have to agree with everyone who says this is the best ‘thunder’ from Carolina Herrera. It smells extremely well, though it’s not innovative. It opens with non-sweet powdered cacao, perhaps due to the patchouli and incense, making it irresistible for nights in cold climates. It doesn’t feel cloying or excessively gourmand; it sits just right between a playful perfume and a mysterious one. As for performance, I’m very happy; the name ‘Extreme’ fits like a glove, as if they’ve multiplied the performance of the EDT. It lasts 10 hours comfortably, projecting generously. I don’t think it floods rooms, but everyone around you will notice it 100%. Like the whole line, I see it for grabbing attention among the young, though that patchouli and incense combo adds some maturity, allowing its use to be not just for parties but perfect for being remembered at social events.
Call me crazy, but on the dry down it reminds me of Garden Paradise by JPG, though in Bad Boy the impact is more concentrated. Anyway, an excellent scent for autumn days. Scent: 8/10, Longevity: 9/10, Trail: 8/10, Sexy?: 9/10. 100% recommended.
This Bad Boy is the best in the line: it has projection, trail, longevity, and a top-tier scent. I fell in love at first sniff and bought it straight away; back then I only had 2-3 perfumes and there was nothing else for nights out in cold or mild weather. If you’re between 20 and 25, it’s a sure-fire winner; it’s earned me countless compliments. It smells rich and sweet but not cloying, masculine with a mysterious, intoxicating edge. The opening is potent: dusty chocolate notes over a vibrant accord of ginger and bergamot that make it explode. I wish it lasted a lifetime, though right now I enjoy that energy punch that shifts your vibe the moment you step out. It gradually opens up: patchouli, vetiver, tonka bean, and a camouflaged incense that adds mystery, topped with the sweetness of plum and chocolate. The downside is it’s not very versatile and you shouldn’t over-spray. A good perfume that delivers more than enough. It’s not original because it modernises and boosts the original scent (successfully) without falling into amber-cedar-sandalwood accords, which sets it apart from other releases.
It’s the densest in my collection, almost dizzying, but its trail and projection are the best. Loads of compliments. It’s creamy cacao with church incense, a rare and brilliant mix. Highly recommended, 10/10.
Smells like chocolate, very sweet to my taste. Key notes: cocoa, tonka bean, vetiver and very slight plum; the others (some non-existent) give touches that grant a tiny masculinity. I really expected more from this flanker. Longevity: ≥7h (normal-dry skin). Projection: heavy for 1h and moderate for an extra 1h. Scent: 6/10 (explained below why). All Bad Boy fragrances by CH are boring; they smell very commercial, slightly sweet and mediocre, they are store scents. I was greatly disappointed.
By far the best Bad Boy flanker: long-lasting, slightly more versatile without losing its charm, easy to earn compliments. I just bought it and have been showered with female compliments, a true delicacy.
Pure power! A dense cocoa aroma that can overwhelm the senses, ask for forgiveness and not permission. For this reason, do not buy it blindly. Bestial longevity, ideal for standing out on a cold winter night. Recommend it from the age of twenty; although I see it as youthful, I do not see a teenager wearing something so potent. Be careful with the sprays, no more than five in winter.
Batch 2022. My first impressions surprised me regarding the longevity; it easily lasts 10 hours on dry skin, creating an aura of imposingness with three sprays, projects well at one metre. I do not find it sweet for me; it is a light green and spicy scent. EDIT: after months of testing, I reiterate that it is delicious, lasts all day and projects massively for the first 4 hours; compliments are guaranteed. Followed only by Wanted by Azzaro in longevity, this is number 1.
It is a blend between the classic and the vintage Radio; on skin, the plum and some citrus stand out, with pepper and chocolate in the base. On clothes or paper, the cocoa and pepper become more prominent. Very tasty to my taste and more versatile.
A very sweet and youthful fragrance, ideal for night outings in winter and dates.
I tried it in-store and, honestly, I didn’t notice the cocoa or chocolate; the patchouli and frankincense stood out more. It is not a bad option, but it was not what I expected.
Bad Boy Extreme: do not buy it blindly; it is for cold nights, parties, or dates. It smells like hazelnut cream with 70% cocoa and 30% potent frankincense; imagine opening a jar of hazelnut cream with frankincense. Box: typical, no frills, simple design (8.0). Bottle: my favourite for the black-to-gold gradient, good material (9.0). Atomiser: spectacular, distributes incredibly well, one of the best (9.2). Longevity: about 8 hours strong and 5 more close to the skin; for 8 hours people smell you from a distance, then 5 hours those nearby, it is one of the longest-lasting in my collection. If you use it, go out and return to the room; the scent lingers for 48 hours (9.5). Projection: 1.5 metres for 4 hours, decreasing gradually, not all at once like others (9.0). Sillage: people detect you where you pass, 4-5 hours (9.0). Price: varied; I got it for $55 in a tester, on Amazon between $70-90 (8.7). Compliments: yes, you will receive them, but not excessively (8.5). Final rating: 8.9. Conclusion: if you like hazelnut cream, buy it; it smells very mysterious, different and striking. It is sweet but dark, perfect for night. The frankincense and cocoa make it suitable for a suit at important evening events. Do not buy it blindly as the frankincense can be too strong for some, and do not use it in heat, or you will suffocate.
As I’ve read elsewhere, do not buy this blindly. It feels very dense, almost to the point of causing nausea. I detect plenty of frankincense, a touch of patchouli and cocoa, but the frankincense dominates. Personally, it is not for me.
I own both the Invictus Victory Elixir and this Bad Boy. Initially, I thought the Elixir was stronger, but upon testing, this one wins on longevity and projection. It is very intense, so be careful with the sprays; the density of the notes can cause olfactory fatigue. Undoubtedly, a 10/10 for performance.
My favourite fragrance for the cold. Sweet but not cloying, gourmand yet somewhat aromatic. It has good balance and if you know how to use it, it has versatility. I have always been intrigued that hazelnut is not declared among the notes. Good performance and exquisite scent.
So far, it is the fragrance with which I have received the most compliments. I recommend using it only at night in night environments and parties; I believe that is where it performs best.
To my taste, an excessively exquisite fragrance. It has that addictive bitter cocoa opening and mixed with vetiver and smoke gives it an alpha male character. Projects about two metres and on clothes you can’t get the scent out even after washing it. 10 out of 10. My best perfume followed by One Million Elixir, and Scandal Pour Homme in third place.
Bad Boy Extreme is a chocolate bomb. I bought it today and wow, I don’t know how to describe it. Although it is hot in Chile at this time of year, today the day was freezing, so it was perfect. Upon spraying it smells like a jar of creamy hazelnuts and sweet plum; as it dries, the hazelnut disappears and the cocoa feels like very hot chocolate, mixing with the frankincense, ugh, spectacular! It lasts 8–10 hours on skin, which is incredible, and the projection is madness, reaching over a metre with an impressive trail. It is an underrated fragrance, a 10/10, totally youthful and worth it 100 per cent.
Frankincense is neither here nor there. I think the notes are incorrect.
Chocolate, lavender and sweet aroma, like many current trends. It has little bits of Phantom, minimal Scandal and some similarity with Invictus Victory Elixir, very much in the style of Rabanne and Antonio Puig. It becomes interesting because it has a more marked chocolate (without being gourmand) unlike the others, but nothing super novel. I summarise it as a rich youthful fragrance, very fulfilling, with crazy performance, lasting and projecting a lot. Perfect for partying or cold/temperate climates.
Cocoa and frankincense dominate; upon spraying it is spectacular and strong, but over time it fades, projecting for 2–3 hours and up to 12 on clothes. It calls for special moments: dates, night outings, or to woo your crush. It is not seductive, but rather it makes you fall in love and feels comfortable enough to embrace, ideal for parties. A safe blind buy; I have received compliments, though not enough. I give it a 9!
Very realistic notes of cocoa and hazelnut. The olfactory quality is well achieved and polished, but that hyper-realistic dessert gourmand touch has made it difficult for me to find a use for it, so I have only worn it three times and sold it. I recommend trying it first and using it in cold regions; in warm or temperate climates, I find it hard to fit in.
I absolutely love it! Although I don’t usually wear such sweet fragrances, I am a fan of frankincense. That enigmatic aura of power and class, with an energetic balance of vintage elements, is brilliant and mature, nothing common. Bad Boy wears the frankincense well applied yet subtle, mixed with a powdery, dry cocoa that takes centre stage. Sweet, strong, and with a spicy touch, the balance is incredible, and that plum note in the opening is played very well. If you are looking for longevity, this one goes the distance: on clothes it throws bursts for nearly five days. Brilliant and I totally recommend it!
Cacao with frankincense and resins; a daring blend that doesn’t seek to please everyone but to have its own identity. In my opinion, it is vastly underrated and rarely discussed. Lasts 7–8 hours on skin with 4–5 hours of projection. A great perfume!
