Bad Boy Cobalt Gift Set

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt Gift Set opens on pink pepper and lavender, a bright spiced crackle laid over something cool and aromatic, so the start is fresh and faintly herbal at once.

Geranium and black plum make up the heart, the geranium green and lightly rosy, the plum dark and juicy, and together they pull the lavender well away from anything barbershop. The base is a truffle accord with vetiver, damp and earthy, the vetiver adding a dry rooty bite to it. Cobalt moves from fresh spice through fruited florals into wet earth, and that earthiness is what gives it its character.

Domitille Michalon Bertier composed Bad Boy Cobalt in 2022. Sweet and earthy run alongside each other the whole way, the plum feeding the sweetness and the truffle accord keeping it savoury, which is what stops the fruit taking over. The herbal and rosy facets of the geranium sit in the middle of that and hold the two extremes apart.

It is long lasting with moderate sillage, so it stays with you through a long day while sitting close to the skin. It wears in all four seasons and works for professional days, casual wear and a night out. This presentation comes as a gift set.
