B.A.D. Homme

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.
