The review

Worth a try. That is where Delinquent lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Bad Boy.

Scentual Obsessions lists 7 of the 7 notes in Bad Boy's pyramid — white pepper, bergamot, pink pepper, cedarwood and clary sage and more, which is the whole brief.

At $80 per 100ml it costs 39% less than Bad Boy — the 10th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.

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

What it is chasing: white pepper, bergamot and pink pepper up top, cedarwood and clary sage in the middle, Tonka Bean and cacao underneath — the shape of Carolina Herrera Bad Boy.

Top

  • white pepper
  • bergamot
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • cedarwood
  • clary sage

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • cacao
For the one who likes a peppery, cocoa-dusted edge, opening spicy and bright before drying into a creamy, addictive tonka-and-cacao trail.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
