{"product_id":"carolina-herrera-bad-boy-gift-set-bts400126","title":"Bad Boy Gift Set","description":"\u003cp\u003ePepper is the first impression the Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Gift Set makes, and it is worth saying so plainly, because the fragrance inside is sold on a sweetness that does not turn up for half an hour. Bergamot gives it a clean citrus start that lasts a minute or two. Pink pepper and white pepper then take over properly, the pink bright and faintly sweet, the white dry and papery, and together they make an opening with some bite to it. Clary sage adds a herbal bitterness underneath, cedarwood keeps everything dry and sharp, and only then does the composition soften. Cocoa comes in as a dusty, unsweetened powder and tonka bean smooths it into something warm and comfortable that stays close to the skin for hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat late change is what makes it a good gift for someone whose taste you cannot predict: the first half satisfies anyone who likes a dry men's fragrance, the second half satisfies anyone who likes a warm one. There are seven materials in all, which is not many, and the clarity is part of the appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a scent that works better on skin than on a card in a shop, because the pepper dominates the first few minutes and the part people remember arrives later. Anyone sampling it in a hurry will get the wrong impression of it entirely. Boxed and ready to hand over, it needs no wrapping and no explanation. Cold weather and evenings are its natural home, and it suits men rather than being strictly for them. Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch composed the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe label is Carolina Herrera, a New York fashion house dating from the designer's collection of 1981, with perfume made under a Puig licence that goes back to 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina Herrera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53297063002439,"sku":"BTS400126","price":111.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng211108.jpg?v=1775836715","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/carolina-herrera-bad-boy-gift-set-bts400126","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
