The review

Starboy scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Bad Boy Cobalt.

Bujairami sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bad Boy Cobalt's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $33 it costs 69% less than Bad Boy Cobalt.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt is cardamom, violet leaf and bergamot at first, sage, lavender and geranium at its heart and vetiver, amberwood and musk at the end. Bujairami set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Cardamom and violet leaf over vetiver, cleaner and cooler than Bad Boy.
