Try them together

Three pairings

The three highest pair scores among our checked bottles. Each score has a reason. Smell is personal; these rules are a starting point.

  1. Parfums de Marly

    Sedley

    86/100

    Sedley puts bright bergamot over the vetiver in Bad Boy Cobalt, tied by shared lavandin.

    Spray Bad Boy Cobalt first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then Sedley on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).

  2. Versace

    Eros

    84/100

    Bad Boy Cobalt's lavender and the vanilla in Eros are an old barbershop classic, with geranium in both.

    Spray Eros first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Bad Boy Cobalt on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Versace

    Eros Eau de Parfum's vanilla turns Bad Boy Cobalt's lavender warm and soft, and both carry geranium.

    Spray Eros Eau de Parfum first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Bad Boy Cobalt on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
