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. Goldfield & Banks

    Bad Boy Le Parfum's vetiver gives the sea-fresh notes of Pacific Rock Moss a firm base, and both carry geranium.

    Spray Bad Boy Le Parfum first (2 sprays, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Pacific Rock Moss on top (4 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).

  2. Maison Alhambra

    Jean Lowe Immortal's grapefruit lifts the vetiver in Bad Boy Le Parfum, tied by shared geranium.

    Spray Bad Boy Le Parfum first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Jean Lowe Immortal on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Parfums de Marly

    Sedley

    87/100

    Sedley puts bright bergamot over the vetiver in Bad Boy Le Parfum, and both carry geranium.

    Spray Bad Boy Le Parfum first (2 sprays, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Sedley on top (4 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
