I received a free sample spray card of this in a Macy's Fragrance Samples Box. That doesn't affect my review in any way. First, let me address the packaging of the sample itself. I honestly do NOT like the spray card samples. Not only are they harder to use because they take awhile to spray when using. But, the opposite is true as well. I heard it spray a couple more times, when I was pushing the sprayer back into the card. I definitely do NOT recommend this kind of sample. Now, on to the cologne itself. I sprayed this on my honey's wrists, and he did NOT like the scent at all. Personally, I thought it smelled pretty decent on him. He just prefers a different type of scent is all.

A Failed attempt to lure the modern man

Modern man - that seems to be the goal or the aspirations that designer brand houses aim to cater their fragrances towards. But what is the modern man? Is the modern man someone who likes to smell a dark sweetness with amber, vetiver and cocoa? If yes, then this fragrance is for you. Is the modern man someone who likes to smell trendy? If yes, then the ginger and tonka bean notes will appeal to you. With all the talk about being in new territory and having unexpected combinations of ingredients, I am suspicious whether the end product really does differentiate yourself to be a modern man.Upon testing the actual product, I am sad to report to you that no, this product is not for me. The smell is virtually the same as every designer brand fragrance wanting to ... MoreModern man - that seems to be the goal or the aspirations that designer brand houses aim to cater their fragrances towards.

The smell is virtually the same as every designer brand fragrance wanting to capitalize the trendy ginger note with aromatic woody accords paired with patchouli. I cannot spend more on another product that gets rehashed from previous iterations and fails to deliver. This sweet, herbal-y concoction is the sum of its parts rather than a finessed finished product.Who is the modern man? Seems like these designer brands have set their eyes in targeting the modern man. If i don't like this product, does that not make me a modern man? If so, I am glad to be a classical man. I will not be purchasing this product. I would not be recommending this new fragrance to friends or family.

An amber fragrance with warm, spicy & earthy notes

I received a free sample of Bad Boy Extreme Eau de Parfum from Carolina Herrera in exchange for my honest review. This is a fragrance for men who want to make a statement. It’s a bold and magnetic scent that combines amber with notes of vetiver, patchouli, cacao, incense, tonka bean, and plum. It’s very fiery and rebellious, reflecting the duality and confidence of the modern man. The fragrance is very long-lasting and intense, so a little goes a long way. It may feel overpowering if you spray too much or if you are sensitive to strong scents. It’s a great perfume for men who want to stand out from the crowd and express their personality.

Deeper, Darker, but still cloyingly sweet

*DISCLAIMER - Carolina Herrera sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program.*Most who have had a passing interest in collecting fragrances will have some familiarity with the CH Bad Boy line and the tacky lightning bolt-shaped bottles. The original, and most of the flankers, have been too juvenile - for my nose - to wear. That is until the Bad Boy Extreme. While this still hangs onto that bubblegum sweetness of the other releases there is a darker side to this flanker when compared to the EDT and that comes from the cocoa and incense note. Ideally, I think this line of fragrances is still best suited for those in the 16-30 year old demographic because of what can be described as a cloying sweetness, and at the end of the day I feel that this new ... More*DISCLAIMER - Carolina Herrera sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program.*Most who have had a passing interest in collecting fragrances will have some familiarity with the CH Bad Boy line and the tacky lightning bolt-shaped bottles.

I had about six hours of longevity with noticeable sillage for the first two to three hours. This was worn during the evening with temperatures hovering in the mid-60F during the evening. Final thoughts - great for young men who are looking for a more mature smell, but still prefer a sweeter fragrance over something like a fougere style.Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good for the summer

Disclosure: I received a free sample of Bad Boy Extreme Eau de Parfum in exchange for my honest opinion.Let me start by saying that if you're in search of a lighter fragrance, Bad Boy Extreme Eau de Parfum might be right up your alley. I found it to be a good option for the summer season. However, I did notice that it didn't last as long on my skin compared to some of my other scents.While I'm not an expert in identifying scent notes, I would describe Bad Boy Extreme as somewhat woody and fresh. It carries a subtle, lowkey vibe, which makes it suitable for those who prefer a more understated fragrance experience.In terms of longevity, I would have liked the scent to linger a bit longer throughout the day.

Sweet and Sexy

This is a very sweet and sexy, date night type of scent. Despite the name Bad Boy Extreme, it isn't overly masculine and I think it could serve as a unisex offering. It reminds me a lot of Paco Rabanne 1 Million Parfum - it has that beastly sweetness with solar notes and a touch of spice. If you like that type of DNA, I think you would like this fragrance. It's interesting enough that I don't find it boring like a ton of other mass market designer scents. I think it will pull a lot of attention from others and would probably get you some complimets if that is important to you. Overall, I think it is a great scent for a night out or a date. Projection is really good and the longevity is above average as well. I'm only docking a star because it reminds me so much of 1 ... MoreThis is a very sweet and sexy, date night type of scent.

Winter Magic in a Bottle: Bad Boy Extreme EDP

I must admit, receiving this cologne in May instead of winter was a bit disappointing. It's undoubtedly a fragrance crafted for the winter season. As someone who is often asked about my signature cologne during wintertime, which happens to be Tom Ford Noir Extreme, I find Bad Boy Extreme EDP to be a worthy competitor. Both fragrances stand out by deviating from the mainstream notes, but Bad Boy Extreme EDP takes it a step further by straying away from the expected notes, apart from patchouli. This uniqueness is what sets it apart.One of the standout aspects of this cologne is the perfect blend of clary sage, subtly conveying its upscale nature. I never would have imagined that patchouli and cocoa could create such an impressive combination, but it makes complete ... MoreI must admit, receiving this cologne in May instead of winter was a bit disappointing.

Both fragrances stand out by deviating from the mainstream notes, but Bad Boy Extreme EDP takes it a step further by straying away from the expected notes, apart from patchouli. This uniqueness is what sets it apart.One of the standout aspects of this cologne is the perfect blend of clary sage, subtly conveying its upscale nature. I never would have imagined that patchouli and cocoa could create such an impressive combination, but it makes complete sense. The spice level is just right, and the warmth it exudes is ideal for winter, particularly during nights. It's definitely not suitable for summer or even spring. However, come fall and winter, this cologne will be an absolute MVP. The ginger note adds a perfect touch of spiciness. While reviewing other colognes, I realized that striking a balance between warmth and spice can be quite challenging. Only a select few, including this one, manage to tread that tightrope with precision.The sillage and longevity of this cologne are exceptional, earning a solid 10/10 rating. I am confident that I will be purchasing a bottle this fall without a doubt.I do have a minor criticism, although it might not be entirely valid since I received a sample instead of the actual bottle. Upon seeing pictures, I couldn't help but feel uncertain about the bottle design. It gives off a slightly juvenile vibe, which is definitely not in line with the sophistication of the fragrance itself. Perhaps the lightning bolt could have been crafted in a more mature manner, but I can't say for certain. In my opinion, it somewhat resembles a novelty cheap tequila bottle or one of those unsuccessful colognes you'd find at a TJMaxx.
