It’s identical to the Bad Boy EDT; I picked it up on sale for a versatile daily wear (around £60 for 100ml). It lasts about five hours before becoming intimate; strong projection for the first hour, then nothing. I’d only recommend it if you catch it on a discount, as it’s practically the same as the original.

I grabbed it for about £45, which was already a bargain. Performance is decent, nothing more or less. It feels intimate, clinging to the skin for between four and six hours. Trail and projection are moderate. I insist, for under £50 it was a steal. It’s a well-known fragrance that smells great and is very popular, generating compliments. I recommend it.

It’s the same or very similar to the original Bad Boy EDT. I bought it at a good price as a gift. It’s a simple fragrance that doesn’t stand out; a fresh opening that becomes creamier with the cocoa and vanilla in the base. Normal performance. It’s playing it safe, not innovating. No one will say you smell bad, but they won’t ask what you’re wearing either. The box and bottle are lovely; otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a fan of the DNA.

To be honest, the first time I smelled it, it didn’t grab my attention much, but when I applied it a second time, I was impressed. It’s sweet, but what truly surprises me is the longevity: it lasted nearly 17 hours. I had showered and sweated, and it was still there. The trail, in my experience, lasts 5 to 6 hours projecting about 1.5 metres. A 9/10 for me.

It’s the same as the classic Bad Boy but with clove. It took me a while to get used to it at first, probably due to the white pepper, but I eventually fell in love. I’m not sure if I’d recommend it as there are better options like the 1M Elixir, but it depends on everyone. It’s rich, but that’s about it. My opinion is that everyone has their own tastes :))

It’s the same as classic Bad Boy but with scarlet. It took me a while to get used to it at first, probably due to the white pepper, but I ended up falling in love with it. I’m not sure if I’d recommend it since there are better options like 1M Elixir, but it depends on personal taste. It’s rich, but that’s about all. That’s my opinion; everyone has different tastes :))

Beautiful! This Bad Boy Gold keeps the essence of the original with a delicious rose accord in the base. It fulfils its role as a flanker well, though you’d hardly imagine it as a standalone fragrance. It creates warm, cosy yet powerful sensations; it’s current and has everything to become a classic, despite looking like a limited edition. A success, highly recommended. Would I buy it again? Yes. Nothing to object to; that gorgeous gold packaging adds so much; displayed with the other Bad Boys, it makes a lovely decorative effect.

As first impressions, it seemed rich, long-lasting, sweet, and intense. I’m sure if I see it on sale, I’ll buy it.

It has something interesting, woody and spiced.

It retains the essence of the Bad Boy EDT, just without the coffee note. I don’t know how to define or detect that lava note it supposedly has, but it smells good. If you’re a fan of Bad Boy, it’s a good flanker; I like it more than the original EDT. Many say the best is Cobalt, but this edition is from regular to good, nothing impressive but pleasant. It has what it takes: as a gift it’s brilliant, one of the prettiest bottles on the market with a very nice box, excellent presentation.

It keeps the essence of Bad Boy EDT, just without the coffee note. I’m not sure what that ‘lava’ note is, but it smells great. If you’re a fan of the original, this is a good flanker; I prefer it to the EDT. Many say Cobalt is the best, but this edition ranges from average to good: nothing groundbreaking, yet pleasant. As a gift, it’s brilliant, featuring one of the most beautiful bottles on the market and a lovely box.

Another review of a fragrance with a ‘Lava’ note clarified this: it doesn’t smell like literal molten rock, but rather a woody and spicy accord. Thanks to whoever mentioned that.
Criico
It’s identical to the Bad Boy EDT, but it comes in a gold bottle that gives it a special touch.
