Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir EDP 100 ml
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir is een warme, kruidig-zoete mannengeur met lavendel, truffel, pruim en harsachtige houtnoten. Veel reviews benadrukken dat de geur erg mannelijk en aantrekkelijk overkomt en regelmatig complimenten oplevert, vooral bij avondgebruik en op date nights. De performance wordt meestal als goed tot sterk omschreven: de eerste één à twee uur is de projectie duidelijk en merkbaar op afstand, daarna zakt hij dichter op de huid maar blijft de geur vaak zes tot acht uur aanwezig. Tegelijk geven verschillende kenners aan dat de compositie behoorlijk synthetisch kan ruiken en dat de projectie na de opening sneller terugloopt dan bij de originele Bad Boy Cobalt. Ook wordt genoemd dat de Elixir-versie qua geurprofiel dicht bij andere Bad Boy-flankers ligt, waardoor hij minder spannend is als je al iets uit de lijn bezit. Door de hogere prijs is het vooral interessant voor liefhebbers van de Bad Boy-stijl die een donkere, sensuele variant zoeken en bereid zijn om eerst te testen voor ze een volledige flacon kopen.

Carolina Herrera's Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir does not reinvent the wheel, but it does not have to, because that is precisely its strength. The fragrance opens with a strong, prominent, spicy and very peppery note that is there immediately without seeming overpowering. It strikes the perfect balance between too much pepper or spice and a sharpness that is too weak. As it develops, many woods come to the forefront, but they do not push the pepper into the background. In the base, a warm, sweet, but not overly overpowering vanilla unfolds, creating perfect harmony between spicy and sweet. However, it does not appear immediately, but develops slowly. The fragrance can be worn for any occasion (except sports), because it is prominent enough without being overpowering. Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir is not a rule-breaker that wants to do everything differently, but that is precisely what makes it special and, in my eyes, damn good.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he doesn’t wear too many colognes, but when I got him this one, he fell in love with them

I find the scent profile quite good. I mostly applied the fragrance after the gym and received some compliments for it. I have just one major problem - namely its longevity. I think the scent is only actively noticeable for a maximum of one to two hours (not just my impression), after which it becomes weaker and ultimately disappears completely. Because of this, I would not buy it again. You need to know this.
