Perfumes Zag Zodiak 247 Diesel Bad is an Eau de Parfum. 247 Diesel Bad opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, Lavender, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Caviar, Iris, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Tobacco. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 247 Diesel Bad carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

An unusually precise pyramid match for Diesel Bad, right down to the caviar-orris heart and tobacco-Ambroxan base, one of the most faithful reconstructions in the range.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

About

247 BA reproduces Diesel Bad's full pyramid almost note for note: the same lavender, bergamot, cardamom and violet leaf opening, the same distinctive caviar and orris root heart that gave the original its unusual, brooding richness, and the same woody-tobacco-Ambroxan-tonka-patchouli base. This is about as close as any dupe in this house gets to a genuine reconstruction rather than an interpretation, likely because Diesel Bad's structure is so well documented across the community. Budget-grade synthetics mean the caviar accord and tobacco leaf read a touch flatter and less resinous than Diesel's original blend, but the rugged, brooding masculinity that made Bad a cult favourite comes through clearly here.
