Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Gold Fantasy is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Quentin Bisch. Bad Boy Gold Fantasy opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod and Tonka Bean. Carolina Herrera's Bad Boy Gold Fantasy carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This collector's edition of Bad Boy EDT is as divisive as its original. While some find it a quality, long-lasting scent, others dismiss it as a generic, synthetic mess that's an insult to Carolina Herrera's heritage. The 'lava' note controversy adds to the confusion.

About

A spicy opening of pink and white pepper and bright bergamot gives way to an aromatic heart of clary sage, vetiver, and cedar. The journey settles into a rich, warm base of cacao and tonka bean, creating a sweet and subtly woody dry-down. It's a modern oriental woody experience.
