“Hot take, but this is the best Bad Boy. The rest of them are just sort of weird. This one is warm, sweet, and spicy. In the dry down it gets fresh. Performance is not the best, but it’s definitely the best smell. Cobalt smells like synthetic garbage after the opening, the elixir is okay i guess, Parfum is an acquired taste, and Extreme is a watered-down 1 Million Lucky. This one smells the best even if the performance isn’t as good.”
“After many years of fragrance purchases and trying many different styles of scents, this is one of the best for the price and one of the most complimented I’ve had. Bad Boy is the first fragrance that really projected and blended perfectly on my skin for hours. Used it daily at work and also to go out at night and it has a lot of character, gets noticed and feels very masculine and sexy.My second favorite fragrance, I'm trying to finish my other perfumes and go back to this one, it was simple and got the job done at a very fair price.The performance is the best out of any EDT I have.”
“Not the best Bad Boy fragrance (Best is Cobalt😎), but its still one of my favourites, decent performance, decent longevity, and smells like a chocolate orange, and since I LOVE chocolate fragrances I have a soft spot for this one. Speaking of which this kinda smells like Axe Dark Temptation, do what you will with that information, but just imagine that this is an amped up version of that.”

Sillage
The clone delivers approximately 80-85% of the original's longevity and sillage, with a somewhat softer projection. The base notes lack the assertive leather and woody depth found in the designer version, giving Bad Lad a slightly more refined but less powerful finish.

The clone's longevity is reduced by approximately 2-3 hours compared to the original, and the leather note feels slightly less refined and smoky. Sillage on the clone is more moderate, making it less of a room-filling fragrance than Carolina Herrera's Bad Boy.
