Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Bergamot and pepper cut through sharply on the opening, then yield quickly to a rich cacao-tonka heart that reads more dark chocolate than candy-sweet. Cedar anchors the dry-down with a dry, slightly smoky woodiness while amber rounds the edges without going soft. Projection is moderate to strong in the first few hours, leaving a warm, gourmand-woody sillage that clings close by evening. The overall effect is polished darkness — sophisticated rather than aggressive — best worn in fall and winter evenings, suited to men who want something confident but not overwhelming.
Almond and coffee hit immediately — roasted, slightly sweet, with real edge rather than the usual candy softness. The heart opens into jasmine and tuberose, dense and creamy but grounded by tonka, keeping the florals from going sheer or soapy. The dry-down is where it earns its reputation: vanilla and cacao melt together into something warm and skin-close, sillage tightening to a lazy halo that lingers for hours. Projection is confident without being aggressive — a fragrance that announces itself once, then stays. — Best worn on cool evenings out, for someone who wants to smell expensive and slightly dangerous.
How they overlap
Bad Boy and Good Girl Supreme share 2 notes (tonka bean, cacao). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (4 unique to Bad Boy, 5 unique to Good Girl Supreme) are where the divergence happens.
