Sophisticated scent
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Got this sample size of bad boy cobalt absolute about a week ago to test before committing yo a full bottle.

Another flanker not worth purchasing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I am sorry to say this has the same D.N.A. as all the other Bad Boy cobalt just sweeter and last a little longer. If you have the perfume version you do not really need this one. It's time for Carolina Herrera to come up with something new. ...

I would by this product again
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I tried Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt Absolute and have mixed feelings. The Scent is bold and modern; Wearability is easy and it sits nicely without being overwhelming. I received a few Compliments when wearing it. I appreciate the Versatility — it worked for both casual outings and slightly dressier evenings — and the Mood it creates feels confident and playful. Not for everyone, but worth sampling if you like that kind of profile.

Smooth Bold Scent
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a nice bold scent. I would consider this to be versatile and able to be a day and night fragrance. The opening notes when sprayed are sage and lavender. As it dries down the vanilla becomes very prominent & rich yet still masculine. Mixed with the oakwood that gives the scent some depth. Overall it isn't a stand out for me. I still think it smells very captivating.

Cobalt Absolute
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Carolina Herrera really amps up their popular Bad Boy Cobalt with their Absolute flanker. Hinted with the name, this opens with blue sage and blue lavender, held in the mids with geranium and white truffle, before melting into golden vanilla and warm oakwood.

A versatile fragrance
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Bad boy cobalt absolute is the newest fragrance release by Carolina Herrera. This fragrance is essentially a hybrid of the original Bad Boy Cobalt & the elixir. It's a fresh fragrance up top with warmth and woods underneath. If you like the truffle note from the original then you will enjoy this one. The bottle design is the classic lightning bolt but this time with the gold highlights. Projections isn't something to ever worry about as its sillage that you want for the most positive attention from a fragrance. Absolute has a nice sillage. Overall if you like the original & like elixir you'll definitely enjoy this fragrance as it is a hybrid between them.


Bold, clean , and confident Scent
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I tried this fragrance and it smells really nice . Its has a bold , clean scent that feels mature and confident without being too strong. It lasted for hours and people actually noticed it . I really like it and makes me feel grown and put together. Definitely a great scent if you like something smooth , fresh and a little bold .
