Carolina Herrera 2024 EDT
Bad Boy Sparkling Ice
by Quentin Bisch , Louise Turner
Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Sparkling Ice is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024, created by Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner. Bad Boy Sparkling Ice opens with Grapefruit and Pepper, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod and Tonka Bean. Carolina Herrera's Bad Boy Sparkling Ice carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.
CH have managed to infuriate the frag-heads with this 'new' release, and honestly, we get it. It's the same old juice in a shiny new bottle. If you're new to the Bad Boy line, it's a pleasant, inoffensive scent, but don't expect anything groundbreaking. It's a crowd-pleaser, but also a bit of a cash grab.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its agreeable freshness and sweet undertones make it suitable for casual wear and dates, but its somewhat generic nature and moderate performance might make it less impactful for formal events. The fresh opening prevents it from being a full sport scent, and the sweetness can be a bit much for a conservative office setting.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
