What does Bad Boy Extreme smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and night-out and evening wear are the occasions named most often. It reads masculine and modern.

It opens with the spicy bite of sage and ginger. In the heart, vetiver and cocoa absolute build an earthy, creamy base. Patchouli and tonka bean then sweeten and deepen it, and the synthetic, oriental feel stays through to the end.
