Diesel Bad marks the debut of Diesel’s new masculine fragrance, set to launch in mid-2016. Marketed as a bold, refined scent—simultaneously addictive and fresh—it embodies a woody aromatic profile with a distinctive twist. Notably, it claims the distinction of being the first fragrance to fuse tobacco and caviar notes, unlocking the crisp, salty dimension within the realm of woody fragrances.
Crafted by master perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaim, Diesel Bad is conceived as “a game of seduction.” Its opening unfolds with an “electrifying burst” of citrus and cool spice top notes: zesty bergamot delivers a sharp, invigorating kick, enhanced by the warmth of cardamom and the herbal freshness of lavender. Adding a provocative, sensual edge, caviar evokes “a trickle of sweat on a man’s chiseled physique”—a detail designed to amplify its allure. As the scent develops, robust, earthy notes of tobacco and orris root emerge, deepening the composition’s fiery, masculine intensity.

Fronting the fragrance campaign is American actor and model Boyd Holbrook, whose presence aligns with the scent’s bold identity. The bottle design further reinforces this “bad boy” aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the iconic biker leather jacket. What appears to be a leather-like texture is actually achieved through micro-engraved glass, a specialized technique developed by Pochet du Courval. Complementing this rugged design, the transparent “Bad” logo offers a glimpse of the fragrance’s rich copper-hued liquid inside.
