Marc Jacobs Bang Bang is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Yann Vasnier. Bang Bang opens with Lemon, Cardamom, and Dill, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Musk. Marc Jacobs's Bang Bang carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

More wearable than its predecessor, Bang Bang is a divisive but intriguing woody-spicy fragrance. Some love its fresh take on sandalwood, others find it too generic or even unpleasant. Seek it out if you're after something a bit different, but try before you buy.

Its moderate projection and fresh, woody character make it suitable for casual wear and dates, but it might be a bit too present for formal events. The clean musk and fresh opening also lend themselves to daytime use, including the office, if applied sparingly.

About

Opens with an unexpected kick of dill alongside bright lemon and spicy cardamom, offering a fresh, aromatic welcome. This quickly settles into a creamy, smooth sandalwood heart, which then merges with a clean, slightly powdery musk in the dry-down. It's a warm, woody journey with subtle green and fresh spicy nuances that keep it from being too heavy.
