Bad

by Carlos Benaïm , Anne Flipo

Diesel Bad is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Carlos Benaïm and Anne Flipo. Bad opens with Lavender, Violet Leaf, Cardamom, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orris, Caviar, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Woody, Patchouli, Ambroxan, and Tonka Bean. Diesel's Bad carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Diesel Bad is a classic love-it-or-hate-it scent. Half the internet thinks it's a generic, headache-inducing mess, but its devoted fans say it's an underrated, compliment-getting monster akin to Invictus, but with a grown-up twist. Undeniably mass-appealing, but certainly not for everyone.

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for the office, but stellar for dates or casual outings where you want to be noticed. While some find it too casual for formal events, its versatility means it can adapt, especially in colder weather. Many reviewers highlight its 'beast mode' performance and compliment-getting ability.

About

Imagine a vibrant opening of fresh bergamot and spicy cardamom, softened by fragrant lavender. This bright start evolves into an unexpected heart where salty caviar meets earthy orris root and herbaceous sage, leading to a unique salty-sweet warmth. The base anchors everything with rich woody notes, patchouli, and a hint of smoky tobacco, wrapped in modern ambroxan and creamy tonka bean.
