Bad Boy Cobalt - Eau de Parfum

Great scent but doesn’t last long

Well what can I say about this scent…. From opening the box it came in it’s been a great experience…. The box itself is quite a nice box as far as boxes go in it’s very deep blue tone with white lettering it looks smart, but then you pull out the unique shaped glass bottle that is shaped liked a bolt of lightning….. wow it looks great on my shelf…. It stands on its point thanks to a little plate that is attached to the bottom. I quite like the spray button function that forms the top of the bottle as the outlet naturally faces you meaning that you don’t have to check to see which way the opening is facing before applying. The scent itself is very nice which starts off as a little fruity citrusy but then mellows into a slightly sweeter fragrance, it is definitely not an over powering smell. It’s a great scent for the autumn and winter months but unfortunately it doesn’t last long which is why I’ve only given 3 stars….. if it lasted longer it would definitely be a constant on my shelf. All in all this is a great scent but doesn’t last long enough for my liking.

Fresh. Dark. Electric. This one plays both sides

This fragrance opens with a crisp spicy, fresh pulse , pink pepper with a subtle aromatic. As it evolves, a juicy black plum sweetens the ride, balanced by a soft geranium floral edge that flirts with intrigue. A mix of earthy vetiver, smoky cedarwood, and a mysterious truffle accord that grounds this scent in depth and complexity. The contrast between the fresh opening and the rich, mineral-woody dry-down captures that dual nature of strength + sensitivity. It’s a blue fragrance with character. Best for spring, autumn, and cooler summer evenings. Great for date nights, dinners, semi-formal occasions . The fuity-sweet opening to memories of blue fragrance style staples, but a lot say Cobalt holds its own identity. The plum note is dominant at start, but with time it softens and transitions into the earthy side. The balance is delicate, and too much can push it. Bad Boy Cobalt delivers on its promise of bold duality. It’s a scent for someone who wants to be seen and linger in memory. It’s transition from fresh spice to sweet plum and than mineral woods is elegant, not abrupt. It’s a beautifully composed designer fragrance that will earn compliments.

The scent is long lasting

When the perfume arrived, I opened the package and the bottle was super impactful the design, colour and the lighting stand is incredible. The smallest amount and the scent lasted, many scents don’t last on me without doing skin prep with a moisturiser first etc. I would say that this is great value for money. And is a scent that can be worn any time.

Good

I’ve tried a lot of aftershaves over the years, but Bad Boy really stands out. The scent hits you straight away — bold, warm, and just the right mix of sweet and spicy. It’s got that modern masculine vibe without being too heavy. You get notes of pepper and tonka bean that blend perfectly, and it lasts for hours on the skin. The bottle design is also a statement — lightning bolt shape, looks amazing on the shelf. Every time I wear it, I get compliments and people asking what it is. It’s perfect for evenings or special occasions, but still fresh enough for everyday use. Overall: A confident, long-lasting fragrance that turns heads. Definitely one of my favourites — smooth, stylish, and powerful, just like the name suggests.

Lasts well, smells good

Nice long lasting scent. Slightly heavier than I would usually wear but not as heavy as the original Bad Boy. Dries nicely with the Lavender and Vetvwe being the strongest notes. Nice comforting warming fragrance perfect as the evenings get cooler

Nice fragrance

When you first spray it, you get a super-clean smell. You mostly pick up on fresh spice and a bright, vibrant feel. As it settles down after an hour or two, into a really nice, warm wood scent. It feels mature and classy, but still modern and fresh. ​Overall, it’s an easy grab-and-go cologne. You can wear it pretty much anywhere—to work, to a casual dinner, or just running errands. It sticks around for a solid 6 or 7 hours, so you don't have to worry about reapplying. If you want something that smells fresh, woody, and confident without being overwhelming, this one is worth trying. It's definitely a crowd-pleaser.

Masculine

Stylish glass bottle, great scent which lasts all day. Can be used for all occasions or day , night. Have had many compliments whilst using this fragrance.

Versatile fresh lavender and fruity scent

I’m a big fan of blue scents and this is now one I will add to my rotation. I got lavender, woody and fruity notes straight away. It’s very versatile, so I could wear in the day for work or evenings across summer and spring in particular. It lasts okay and is a great scent to have in your rotation.

Mass appealing Invictus type scent.

Having a lot of scents in my collection it’s nice to try a house that I haven’t had before. Thanks Influenster for the bottle to sample and review. Packaging is good, nothing fancy and a nice deep blue colour and the bottle is kept safe within. The bottle is certainly distinctive! Personally I’m not seated either way by it but it does stand out on your shelf! Straight away on first spray it’s definitely an Invictus type scent, fresh and sweet with a plum twist. Mass pleasing and can be worn in almost every situation. Lasted around 8 hours on me which is very decent. A safe blind buy, mass appealing but I’d sample first if you own a few Invictus type scents already. Very impressed.

Smells Lovely

Well what can I say about the Carolina herrera bad boy cobalt eau de parfum comes in beautifully designed lighting themed bottle very elegant and stylish making you wanting to leave out on show the scent is a very attractive fresh summery smell wearing this I recieved so many compliments asking me what it was very impressed my new fav

It’s a ‘Strike’

This smells amazing! Has a really nice scent but is not overpowering like some can be. Get a good spray projection and a striking grab your attention bottle.

Amazing scent and reasonably priced for a premium

The thought and engineering that went into the bottle alone is outstanding. This really stands out on your bathroom shelf. The scent is strong but not overpowering, lasts all day and certainly turns heads when you walk in a room. I will definitely be buying again when I have finished this bottle which won’t take long because it’s now my new ‘go to’.
