B.A.D. Homme
Maison Alhambra
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
"### Notes & Nuances B.A.D. Homme bursts open with peppery brightness. It’s got that electric buzz of the original Bad Boy, maybe 91% there. The bergamot adds a familiar citrus tang, though slightly more synthetic. The sage and cedar in the heart provide a grounding, slightly herbal counterpoint. Where it truly deviates is in the base. It lacks the creamy depth of Bad Boy’s tonka bean. The cacao is present, but reads a little thin. Amberwood pushes forward, creating a drier, woodier conclusion. It loses some of the original's sensual sweetness. ### To Buy or Not to Buy? B.A.D. Homme captures the edgy, youthful spirit of Bad Boy . It's a good everyday scent for someone who wants that vibe without breaking the bank. The synthetic edges are present, but forgivable given the price. If you crave the richer, smoother nuances of the original, you'll notice the difference. However, if you're happy with a close approximation for casual wear? Absolutely worth considering. This clone is a solid alternative for the budget-conscious. ### How Long Does it Last? Longevity is moderate. Expect around 5-6 hours on skin. Projection is decent for the first hour, radiating about an arm's length. It quickly settles closer to the skin becoming a more intimate scent. It's noticeable, but not a room filler."
Bad Lad le Parfum
Fragrance World
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
"### Scent Breakdown Okay, Bad Lad le Parfum. Right off the bat, you get the peppery zing and a bit of that bergamot brightness – it’s trying to be Bad Boy, no doubt. The opening is maybe 87% there. There's a slightly synthetic edge that isn’t as smooth as the original, but it's not offensive. The heart brings in the sage and cedar, and it gets a little woodier here. It's nice, but loses a bit of the original's sweetness. The drydown is where it leans heavier on the tonka bean and amberwood, getting that warm, slightly chocolatey vibe. This part smells great, and actually sticks around the longest. ### Wear time & Sillage Performance is decent, especially considering the price. I get about 5-6 hours on my skin with moderate projection for the first hour. It settles down to a skin scent after that. Not beast mode, but not a total dud either. You'll probably need to reapply if you want it to last all day. ### Bottom Line Bad Lad le Parfum is a solid daily grab. It captures the essence of Bad Boy without breaking the bank. If you want that chocolatey, peppery vibe for everyday wear, this will do the trick. For the average Joe, this is a smart alternative."
