BADREPUTATION Red Flag is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Red Flag opens with Saffron and Almond, settles into a heart of Cedar and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan, Ambergris, and Cashmeran. BADREPUTATION's Red Flag carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A polarising scent that clearly aims to echo the familiar, but fails to capture the magic. Love it or leave it, it's not for the faint-hearted.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Red Flag opens with a rich burst of saffron and almond, presenting a warm and inviting touch that teases the senses. As the heart unfolds, the earthy cedar mingles with lush jasmine, adding depth and a slightly floral allure. Finally, the base offers a powerful blend of ambroxan and ambergris, layered with the creamy warmth of cashmeran. This composition balances a seductive muskiness with a hint of spice, creating an enveloping aura that lingers.
