Bad Lad

The start is zesty and lively, with orange and grapefruit giving a clean, sharp sparkle. Pepper arrives in the heart with pelargonium, which adds a leafy lift. The base turns earthy and warm: vetiver and cedar give it structure, patchouli adds depth, and benzoin rounds everything off with a soft resinous glow.

Its character is confident without being loud, balancing bright citrus with darker, grounding notes. Wear it to work, on a casual day out or to a formal evening; the clean opening suits daytime, while the vetiver and benzoin base gives it enough depth for after dark. A light hand on the neck and wrists works best.
