Brecourt Mauvais Garcon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Émilie Bouge. Mauvais Garcon opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Elemi, settles into a heart of White Flowers, Lavender, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Brecourt's Mauvais Garcon carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive and distinctive, Mauvais Garcon is a bad boy indeed. It's got that classic 90s swagger with a modern, creamy sweetness, but it's not for everyone. Some love its spiced vanilla depth, others find it uninspired.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate performance and spiced, sweet profile make it less ideal for the office or sport. It truly shines for night-time wear, especially on dates, where its warmth and sensual character can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

About

Opens with a spicy hit of cinnamon and nutmeg, brightened by bergamot and a green hint of basil and elemi. The heart introduces a smooth blend of lavender and subtle white florals, adding an aromatic touch. It dries down to a rich, warm base of Virginia cedarwood, creamy sandalwood, patchouli, and a pronounced, sweet vanilla and tonka bean accord.
