Good Girl by Carolina Herrera is a Amber Floral fragrance for women. Good Girl was launched in 2016. Good Girl was created by Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch. Top notes are Almond, Coffee, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Tuberose, Jasmine Sambac, Orange Blossom, Orris and Bulgarian Rose; base notes are Tonka Bean, Cacao, Vanilla, Praline, Sandalwood, Musk, Amber, Cashmere Wood, Cinnamon, Patchouli and Cedar.

Carolina Herrera announces the release of a new women's fragrance in September 2016. The new, sexy oriental fragrance is ironically named Good Girl with the message "It's so good to be bad!" (#goodtobebad).

Good Girl promises an innovative and addictive combination of tuberose and roasted tonka bean, which represents the duality of a woman’s character. A floral wave of white Sambac jasmine and tuberose is placed in contrast with the mysterious and deep notes of tonka bean and cocoa.

The face of the perfume is model Karlie Kloss. The fragrance comes in an elegant black stiletto shaped bottle as a 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

Good Girl is created by perfumers Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch.

oooooh sue me. miss carolina and i go back. got this as a christmas tester set when I was 18 and it was the first time I felt sooooo Cool And Sexy with a perfume. GG is FUN! I really get coffee notes, and def more sweet (praline-esque) over more of an amber. can never go wrong with a white floral and she stands her ground here. the bottle is camp

tiaove

Has a very sharp masculine smell to it.

Lourdes.mansour

Nauseating, I absolutely dislike it on myself. Thank God it fell and broke, my room was smelling like Good girl for a week, I wanted to cry

Eden2earth

A sexy office scent. A classy mature fragrance that I still wear to this day!

archerries

Citrus at first, moving to florals (jasmine) and drying down with a cacao aroma. Vanilla coming through as well, with hazelnut and praline, almost like a shea butter scent. Kind of like a sexy coffee shop. Finding it hard to make my mind up about this one... there's a lot going on at once. Cinnamon came through eventually.

sunnyviolets

A good study of this review section would tell wonders about the experience of girlhood.

Connyw90

It’s fine, but it’s a bit old ladyish on me. Maybe I’m just immature 😂

Letmeregister

Pretty white floral with coffee, almond and cacao in the background. I like it but not enough to wear it. The performance is fine.

dalialoveperfume

My mom bought this scent for me. But i just cannot wear it. Its so nauseating for me. does anyone want it?😕

808dizzy

This smells 99% the same as Elvive Color vive hair mask, the red one. It's sexy, synthetic, sweet, nutty, vanilla. I like it but it's not groundbreaking or original or anything

Enrium

Good Girl is generic, sweet feminine scent, designed with mass appeal in mind. The only thing that sets it apart is its kitsch stiletto-shaped bottle, but I find the entire experience of this scent cheap and gimmicky. Although, as a designer floral gourmand, GG needs something to make itself stand out. While it's not my thing, I've smelled worse.

GG is vanilla-dominant from initial spray, with the almond note up top giving a nutty, gourmand quality. I get a sprinkle of coffee up top, adding a spiced chocolate-y edge, Black Opium-style.

Sweet white florals creep in, notably jasmine, with some watery freesia following. The tuberose is uncharacteristically subtle, but the orange blossom that follows more than makes up for it, syrupy and tropical. It becomes powdery as it progresses, with a prominent cocoa note adding to the gourmand theme. I don't get rose or iris notes as such, but they perhaps add to the powdery heart.

Coumarin takes over from the almond opening, adding a smooth, Play-Doh-like quality to the base. This alongside the powdery cacao and syrupy vanilla gives a praline effect. It fades to a musky vanilla skin scent. Sillage and longevity are moderate. It is a feminine autumn/winter scent.

GG becomes thin fairly quickly, despite its bold vanilla-floral profile and plethora of gourmand notes. Unsurprisingly, it smells quite cheap - synthetic and syrupy, but not nasty. It reminds me in parts of many other designer offerings. Buy Hypnotic Poison instead. 2/5.

Parnian.kh

The poor thing has been copied and copied and copied forever, and in every nook and cranny, you can get wafts of that voluptuous vanillic floral entity sprinkled with coffee and cocoa powder. Despite its ubiquity and my initial denial of its seductive powers and sensuality, I ordered it and it's become a staple. Love it.

nordlanderin

There are so many notes featured, but on my skin it smells just like a lot of liquorice with a hint of vanilla. I like it, even though I expected something else from this perfume and I think it smells different on paper. It's a bit too gourmand for me for daily wear but I do enjoy it.

sabs1205

Officially a fan of tonka because of this GG. Damn!

The bergamont and jasmine combo reminds me of Alien Goddess, my favorite. The dry down is so warm and sexy. The powdery scent is slight and cozy, not cloying. I love how with every turn of my head, I get a whiff of the vanilla and cacao, with hints of almond. For those who are iffy about tuberose, you are in luck because it’s subtly blended in so beautifully, and not overwhelming. And the bottle is fun! Never understood the hate of the design.

Love Good Girl from start to finish. Absolute sex in a bottle. Lasts on my skin, clothes, and hair for over 5 hours, with appropriately strong sillage. Definitely a perfect date night perfume. I know I’ll be wearing this more, though. I never follow rules ;)

Emera1d

I have avoided this for a very long time as I am not a fan of the name or the bottle, but I have been wearing it for about a week and it is growing on me. It is definitely thick, rich and sweet, but apart form the tonka and vanilla I can't smell any of the other notes. I doesn't seem like a white floral to me, but not obviously gourmand either. I prefer it in colder weather, I think it might be too sweet for summer. It is not a love, but I will probably keep my small bottle until I use it up, as it is pretty nice.

Mishka6

Bought this for the bottle, which looks black until seen in very bright light, then the glass appears dark navy.
At first it's lemony gardenia. After 15 mins lemon is less obvious and it reminds me of Jungle Gardenia perfume, a spicy retro gardenia.
After a little while, a pungent almondy note kicks in and sits uneasily with the floral.
This phase is short-lived thankfully, and it sweetens up a little with a powdery caramel, and very faint coffee note. It's quite soft, like an angora sweater. This isn't a loud fragrance.
That's my favorite phase, but after an hr the caramel is gone and it's a spicy carnation/plummy tuberose, with a touch of soft lemon. The powdery softness remains.
This is a modern interpretation of Poison, but a safe, harmless version. Hate to disappoint anyone, but it really IS a good girl, in a fluffy sweater.

mariboo

Definitely a winter fragrance. It has a dark intriguing allure, perfect for young ladies on a night out. I'd say the most prominent notes are the jasmine and cinnamon. Also worth mentioning: the bottle design is iconic, gives a glamorous touch to any vanity.

AnnieD77

I really love the dry down of this one. It's much softer, sweeter, warmer. The first several hours though were so citrusy and sharp, I'm not sure it's worth it to me to get through that to the dry down. But these base notes are heaven to me. It reminds me a bit of Delina Exclusif.

iRankFragrances

If any girl I knew wore this I am wifing them up bro.
It's my favourite women's perfume and it always will be.

colorblindlove

This perfume is becoming one of my favorites! First of all, the bottle is literally stunning & it makes me feel like that b!tch when I spray it. Same feeling goes for how the scent is on my body chemistry. Its a love for me. Definitely a night time, cold weather scent only though!

roseturay

I honestly can’t stand this perfume😭 it’s a very strong floral and kinda gives me grandma vibes. i am more of an amber/gourmand girl but i still like florally perfumes. this is just not it idk i don’t get the hype. also gives me headaches lol

Briannapremium

Incomparable. I don’t usually like feminine fragrances or fragrances from major labels, but this is my exception. It’s perfect!! Smells like the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen, and it’ll make you feel like her too. I always wore this when I wanted to feel pretty.

barbieland

this perfume is my beloved and the first perfume for me to truly fall in love with, plus it’s the first fragrance for me to have such an emotional attachment to. i wanna eat it. it’s sexy, it’s strong without being too overpowering, it’s elegant without being too dark and heavy. i’m happy with its longevity and my travel-size has lasted me so long. i first wore it for a night out but i think it’s just as perfect to wear all day. there’s genuinely not a single bad thing i could say about this perfume!!

Cmara

This perfume is top notch. It's sexy. On my skin it has a tangy dry down that's so addictive. You would wanna glue your nose to your wrist. Lol. The bottle is beautiful and unique. The smell is sexy, elegant, mysterious woman walking down the street. I don't think it's an everyday perfume but more for special occasions. I've tried many fragances, including the GG line and to say this is top notch is not an exaggeration.

LeaLush

This is a mess. Just too much going on. Too sharp too cloying. It just pulls you in a million different directions and ends up giving you a major headache

webblt

the almond note really stands out for me. this is a lip filler of a perfume, which isn't necessarily bad.... it's consciously sexy. imo it's doing too much--becomes cloying. but it is easily identifiable and oozes (unsexy) sex. that jasmine/vanilla combo comes out in the drydown. very easy to tell when someone's wearing it--good girl announces herself. but unfortunately she is also tacky. still a pleasant smell though! i good girl is a perfume for someone who cares a lot about how others see her, but rarely takes the time to consider who she is at heart.

SongNSalt

Why Sambac, why? Is this the only kind of jasmine in the world now?
I like this perfume. It's not a love at this point, but I do find it really enjoyable. If only that note wasn't there, pissing on my joy. With some gleeful help from the patchouli.

fedexbaby

i bought this as a blind buy, and im a little disappointed. like other reviews here say it is just a generic "perfume" smell, no real specific notes other than sharp floral (the hairspray-like kind). to me it smells like a perfume sample in a magazine; kinda boring, weak, nothing special, just...... perfume. the sillage is also soooooo weak, although i got the rollerball i still have to shove my nose into my wrists to smell it at all. i will be using it up so i dont waste my money but i wont be buying the full size. my quest for a sexy warm everyday scent continues.

Bookxolover

One of my all time favourite perfumes. I’m not exaggerating this is the only spray that I’ve genuinely had people follow me to ask what I’m wearing as it’s strong but in a good way. It’s very long lasting I can smell it on clothes from the day before and I’ve received compliments that it smells expensive; definitely great for a classy evening. Perfect if you like a sweet and musky scent.

Koksandkola

I tried a sample of Good Girl by Herrera, and as a man, I would have absolutely no problem wearing it. It is sweet, peppery, and sexy, and it has a vibe similar to Layton. This scent could be considered unisex, even though it comes in a high-heeled shoe-shaped bottle.

parvatishallow

Not really offensive but not necessarily good either. I can't tell why this is as popular as it is (?)

Kind of just smells like a pissy white floral to me with a weird nuttiness.

Sah R.

Resume: Good. Pherormone fragrance.
The scent I get: musky overlaying a balanced sweet floral with a tiny bit of jasmin. Intimate smell that can be a sillage one with more sprays.
Generic smell (and a battle between the impression of feminine or vulgar) but it's good. No cacao notes 😔 .

Was expecting a lot from this one. Thought it would be a cozy and sexy scent with cacao but I got a generic scent from start to end. Old lady scent at first with the jasmin evolving to a jasmin+ syntetic gum alike scent and then an unissex sweet musky (a less syntetic and more floral sweet) evolving the sweet notes untill it becomes a more feminine musky. It's not a bad parfum in no means but not what I was expecting, I don't feel any chocolate notes and that makes me disappointed. It's warm and dark for night but it's intimate if you don't overdue the sprays so it might be used at day time too (it's just not suitable). Generic "good perfum" scent, not very elegant. But I can understand why it feels like a pherormone fragrance to men because of musk note (I thought the sexy appeal would come from cacao but no).

It gets more addictive the more it evolves and I keep sniffing the smell to review, I think this might be the trick to catch men with this one (but it is really kind of annoying at day time).

I will be using this again to make new impressions as well cause right now my opinion is based on a little bit I put on my wrist for my curiosity.
I think yes, this is a safe blind buy for something to use at night and I could not end the review without mentioning the absolutly gorgeous and experience the high heels shape is, I love it too much. Definatly a collector worth.

barbiedagger

Every time I wear this I want to lick myself. Although @riata04 really summed it up, it's so classic 'perfume' scent that it feels hard to describe or pick out specific notes. Generally a warm scent, with a good balance between comforting and daring. Not my pick for a club perfume, but if you have a guy coming over to watch a movie and you don't want him thinking about the movie for a second (lightly) apply this seductive powerhouse. Personally, I prefer one of the variants (icr if it was blush or very rn) but I'm glad to have it on hand.

riata04

I can't explain it in any other way, but this perfume smells to me like if someone just yelled out "Perfume!", this would just appear midair, just a completely generic perfume scent, no other distinguishing characteristics, just perfume.

NadiasmellsGorgeous

I tested this out for a week to see what the hype is about. Ummm, meh. It’s a nice and pretty, but it smells like many other perfumes.
I did a one side Ariana Grande Cloud vs Good Girl and the opening are different, but the dry downs are the same. I would just wear Cloud because it’s cheaper.

Anfissa

This is a very sexy, alluring fragrance that is great for evening wear. The bottle design is very Cinderella like, especially the one that is the edt. Common, it’s a crystal slipper! Extremely romantic and desirable. If you are not into sweet gourmand oriental heady white floral fumes, then try something more clean or woodsy or old spicy or sporty. But if you’re dressed to kill in your sparkling evening attire, then put this on and enjoy the glamorous night ahead. 👠👛🍸

camwilo

My sister owns this, however i think it suits me better, smells yummy and sexy whenever i wear it i' m slayinggg

jenzel4381

I don't get the hype with this perfume. I had to scrub it off.

chrissay

Strong, headache-inducing and grandmotherly. Had to wash it off.

Aaaareee

Absolutely delicious, one of the few high end perfumes that actually love, with amazing lasting power.

kiwijaxx

Was given this by a friend who had bought it and didnt like it. Was surprised how much like Moschino Coutre & Burberry Brit Red Special Editition it smelt 2 fragrances I haven't been able to purchase for a very long time time. Absolutely mad my day

vpace91

Something odd happens to me sometimes with fragrances with a coffee note, and that is that sometimes the coffee just overpowers everything else and then it just smells dry and bitter to me and I'm unable to notice the other nuances of the fragrance the way other people are. It's a shame. The same thing happens to me with Black Opium a little, though at least with that one I'm able to access the other notes a little more easily than with Good Girl. Oddly, the first time I tried it I loved it and put it on my wish list! However, every time I've tried it since then, the bitterness has just taken over. This is with both a sample from a decanter site and a sample from the manufacturer, and with both a dabber and a spray, it still happens. I do look forward to trying all the flankers, however. Most (or all?) of them seem to lack the coffee note so I may have better luck with those!

Gergelova_s

This perfume smells so good. I always lived thinking that this smells terrible cause my sisters bestfriend just this as a bathroom refresher (wtf). But one day i was with my friend and she smelled so good. I asked what is she wearing and she told me that shes wearing this perfume. Such a it girl scent. I go to School with this friend and when im walking threw the hallway i can always say that she was there. The sillage of this perfume is insane. But it can be overpowering. We were sitting in a bus and i got a headache from it so be aware with it. It is expensive but i think it is worth the money

definitelasts

It's like a spicy amaretto. Reminds me of the perfumes my cool auntie had that I wasn't allowed to use when I was a child. Grown woman perfume. My boyfriend finds it delicious. I love putting on a vanilla hand crème up to my wrists and spraying this over it. I don't think I will ever buy the full bottle lol, the design seems impractical. I will just keep buying the travel sizes.

Gabriella.0

It's the most basic feminine scent. Can't hate or even dislike it, it does actually smell good, but I personally can't love it either. I might be a weird one here but... I find it childish almost. I don't see how it's a 'club' scent.

The bottle is super tacky however.

AshLeigh512

I don’t care if this is basic. It smells amazing. I’m way past the age of clubbing but this smells sexy and sophisticated. Great for a night out.

Fragraddict_cake

There are so many other perfumes to talk about but this one is what has made me make my profile finally.

I don’t GET IT!! AT ALL!!!

There are so many notes maybe that’s why it just smells so awful to me, I’ve had my bottle for a while so it’s macerated to and it’s not any better, the reviews are always so good but for me this smells like a school teacher, I can’t explain it. The white florals and maybe the tuberose just remind me of a stuffy classroom and a teacher I don’t like.

I’ve given this such a good chance and tried it so many times but today I’m finally gonna give this to my sister in law because it genuinely knocks me sick. I almost threw up in the car this morning cus of this perfume and I never have such a visceral reaction to perfumes I wish I knew why this one is that for me. I wanna scrub it off immediately!!

kitko

I really didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did. When I see people mention this scent, it’s usually as a “going out” perfume, I think because it’s meant to be kind of sexy? However, the 30 mL size I bought is a rollerball, meaning I can put just a tiny bit on my wrists and wear it very close. I love how warm and sweet it smells—it goes on a bit harsh, but wears down into something that is completely comfortable and lasts ages. This is also a favorite of those around me: I get lots of compliments when I wear it. According to Carolina Herrera information: top notes: berries; heart notes: Egyptian jasmine; bottom notes: tonka bean & vetiver. The top notes fade fast, leaving the jasmine, tonka bean, and vetiver as the stars of the show. tbh this is the perfume that made me finally understand what a cashmere note smelled like. 8/10 I put this on to cover up BR540.

Yarapurple

Love the smell! Bottle is cute but I think it suits well if you are going to a restaurant and not daily, good for special occasions

vighletends

This was my signature scent for years. It honestly reminds me of britney spears fantasy all grown up lol

crystalmothdere

Из всех туфель это самая лучшая

Anna99

On my skin.. it is so average. Smells like public toilet soap that I forgot to wash off.

Sad :(

evii55

One of my favs. Absolutely addictive, it smells so nice, so sweet, so sexy!! Perfect for autumn and winter. I would say it’s a safe blind buy. Longevity and sillage are great especially on clothes!!

booksandcats457

Very sweet and warm amber floral. It definitely has a sexy edge to it that makes it great for date nights or evening occasions. However, I do also think it’s perfectly daytime appropriate on cold fall and winter days as long as you apply sparingly (1-2 sprays is more than enough in my opinion). I wouldn’t wear this to the office or in business-type settings though, it’s a little too sweet and strong. It is super concentrated, with great sillage and longevity - I can still smell this on myself several hours after applying which means others can definitely smell it too. For that, even though this is definitely an expensive perfume, I think it’s good value for money because it will take you a while to get through a bottle unless you’re bathing in it every time (which I wouldn’t recommend). Oh, and I know there’s lots of opinions on the shoe bottle…personally I love the bottle, it’s super cute and unique. I have this in the 30 ml and you have to remove the heel to spray. In the bigger sizes (50 and 100 ml), the atomizer is already built into the shoe so you just press a button on the back.

ridhi0710

I don't why this perfume gets a lot of hate, it's a signature scent-worthy perfume

joannattr

My flatmate adores this and I want to take a bite of her every time she walks past

Anarig97

I like this scent. It's sweet but not sickly sweet. I wore my tester of this out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, and it fit the atmosphere perfectly. I understand why this perfume gets recommended for date night. It's sensual and alluring; I felt the attention was on me while I wore this perfume. I would buy this again for those special occasions.

jadepo21

I disagree with some of the comments here, in that it is not a super sweet or super juvenile/party girl smell to my nose. There is a lot to like here in that it's a pretty, creamy, musky scent with a lot of longevity and ease of wear. I have a hard time imagining anyone being offended by this which, in my eyes, makes it appropriate for most situations. I don't love it and there is nothing earth shattering about it, but it's a solid like. I think the bottle is unfortunate and is likely not helping with the appeal for some, but the juice is decent.

Brazilianbadbeech24.

Not baddd smells like a hot chick who goes to the club to get messed up but u know she partied hard and had a good time, I would only wear if I’m going out to party. Other than that everyday use would be nauseating.

kendrajeane

Generic vanilla/tonka bean/fruity perfume. Not special or unique. Very safe to wear

bonvivantblonde

This perfume has been my dearest companion, adding an extra layer of allure to late-night adventures and boosting my confidence when needed. For seven years, this perfume has held a meaningful spot on my shelf, and it has never failed to deliver. Its lingering scent is so potent that it stays for days on pillows and clothes, persisting even after washing.
For my fellow Swifties, for me, this perfume embodies the essence of 'I Did Something Bad' vibe.

aysermis

an absolute date perfume :)

LouD23

Tested this after my partner sniffed it instore and nagged me until I ordered a tester. It's pretty. Floral, sweet, creamy gourmand. It's hard to pick out any one note and I get no coffee at all. It smells lovely, but generic. Maybe too sweet for me, as I'm not a fan of very sweet perfumes. This smells like every 20 something girl to me. Just a basic, but lovely, designer scent. Smells just like the perfume section in a department store. I am in my late thirties and find it a little young. It's fun and flirty party girl in her early twenties, and doesn't suit my personality at all.
It is very pretty though, and if you do like sweet, fun, girlie scents, this is worth trying - nobody is going to tell you you smell awful wearing this!

Upward_Falling

Patchouli heavy and synthetic. Reminds me of potpourri that used to be common in homes in the 90's; shaved scented bark piled up in a crystal dish to freshen the room. Or like a store bought cinnamon pine cone you put out at Christmas. Really not a fan. The bottle design is... well, one that I hide near the back of my shelf so it's not front and center. It's not only silly looking, it's not user friendly.

If the listed note breakdown were accurate in terms of actually detecting all those wonderful notes, this would be a different story. But all the lovely little nuances are overpowered by patchouli. No coffee, no citrus, tuberose or orange blossom. For me, most of the wear lies in the the base notes. Only after the 6-7 hour mark, it starts to smell like a masculine bath soap. Such a strange transition from the first several hours.

I don't hate it, but don't like it either. It's just - meh. I like the way Macy's department store smells, but I don't want to smell like that on my person and this gives those vibes. Designer department store. Try a sample before shelling out the coins for this one. It does smell different on skin than off the cap.

deadxxxmoon

The bottle is absolutely atrocious (not convenient or handy,) but I got it anyway because I have loved the smell since I first had a whiff of it at Ulta.
It smells like cheap slut and boss lady at the same time. And I'm all for it.

Heatherlaurenw

It smells like a bath and body works hand soap... or the interior of a victoria's secret store. Just way too sweet and very juvenile.

ckeener

Though I initially walked right past this perfume in the store due to my dislike of the bottle being a shoe, I came back to it and tried it. The bottle made me think of the many "party girl" impressions other users have commented on, but after trying it and owning it, I don't get that impression. Additionally, I've seen comments that this has fruitiness or bitterness to it, and I also don't get that at all.

This is a creamy, musky, sweet, cashmere woods, mellow-floral, warm scent. The perfume bottle of an ombre sapphire-to-black stiletto isn't reminiscent of a party girl to me, but of a woman in charge, who knows what she wants, and has found success and comfort in life, but who still has endless ambitions. Though the top notes say bergamot and lemon, I mostly get the almond and coffee. The floral middle notes don't seem to have anything too generically floral; not cloyingly sweet, but almost like cut flowers sat on a windowsill in the sun. The dry down and the base notes are creamy, cozy, woodsy, with the last remnants of almond, coffee, and florals melting into powdery, musky vanilla sweetness.

I sprayed this perfume on yesterday and can still smell it on my skin today, so longevity is moderate-long, but the sillage is low/intimate. It sits close to the skin and has moderate projection for me. I wish the sillage was much more because this scent has really grown on me, so I've been eyeing the Good Girl body care products on the Carolina Herrera website that includes a hair mist, lotion or body cream, body mist, and even a perfumed shimmer oil.

harrirac

Sadly there is just something about this that doesn’t sit well on my skin. I loved it on paper but I cannot stand the way it smells on my skin. I’m surprised I don’t enjoy this because I like all of the notes. Maybe I will revisit it later and my opinion will change.

LEM922

I am honestly, and absolutely, truly mystified. Normally, even if I don’t like something myself, I can generally see the appeal if it is something that is liked by a lot of people. I don’t understand, for the life of me, how anyone could like this. It smells so terrible to me. I don’t understand where anyone is pulling “sweetness” from this. It’s bitter, like burnt sugar on wilted florals drenched with pesticide. Every dupe I’ve ever smelled for this perfume is also terrible. Yet somehow, people love this and honestly, there are things I don’t like, but I’m like okay… I understand. Good girl is one I just can’t understand. It’s nasty work. A true scrubber in every sense of the word.

Just smells like any average Victoria’s Secret scent lmao you are all victims of marketing for calling this super sexy. It’s just fruity sweet and floral. I like the scent but I’m underwhelmed after having read the review first then smelling it in person. Nothing special here and it’s rather weak. I am personally not a fan of how it turned out on my skin, but maybe the experience of others is different

AZGirl79

Total man eater perfume. They all go nuts for it. I don’t care what women think of this…. I’m obviously not wearing perfume to attract or impress women. If men like it (and I can confirm they do) that’s enough reason to keep buying this juice! It’s 🔥.

l0tus

My favourite nighttime perfume. I really love it. I was hesitant to buy it because although fun I didn't resonate with the heel packaging but seriously the scent is so nice. I get so many compliments and feel very beautiful wearing this. My friends who only purchase more 'complex higher-end fragrances' (la labo etc) really like it on me and I get compliments from them often when I am wearing this one lol

Very off-putting. Time to scrub this one off.

sweetcherie23

THE perfume. I adore Good girl ever since I first tried it... very sexy and expensive smelling fragrance of course I am obsessed. Vanilla, warm, sweet and seductive.

Anything4talishas

Just got this today and though it does smell like a nice dryer sheet, idc, it’s powdery goodness. Definitely don’t need to over spray with this one, add a nice body mist if anything, this is one you only want a light whiff of in the air, not to smell from 10 ft away. This smells like she’s probably staying at a luxury hotel & wears pearl earrings. I’m obsessed. If powdery notes mix well with your chemistry, this is the one for you!

candiedginger

own a sample of this. nothing special about it, smells way too “mature” on me but could be a casual fragrance based on your taste. however the longevity is nice, i did one spray and it lasted hours. sort of laundry detergent-ish and vanilla, something you’d find in a magazine.

CJJLOVESFUMES

I find this warm and so incredibly smooth - I love orris! There is a sting in the base notes that reminds me of bug spray from time to time, but overall I think this is sexy and timeless!

My husband on the other hand smells the most intense soapy smell and he hates it.

Lasting power is impressive, so it’s a great value.

Texasperumefan

Want to love this. Smelled like a nice dryer sheet. Has something very soapy and detergent like in it. Makes it hard to love it.

Lorela

This perfume reminds me of girls that don't use make up, so I put this on when I go at work without make up.
It makes you feel clean and feminine. It has a non-romantic energy, perfect for days when you don't struggle the lack of romance in life. The bottle is so misleading with its smell. I would prefer to buy another perfume but since my cousin gifted this to me, I will continue using it when its energy fits with me. The longevity is 8 h, and it works better in dry skin. it has a modern classic smell but it's not a wow. I also use it when I go to play volleyball.

mayvray

Smells generic and mediocre. I agree that this smells like a perfume shop. I almost pick up a bit of a leather scent from this. Meh.

wondervalley666

I’ve been recommended this scent for years but couldn’t find a reasonably priced sample and couldn’t justify a FB blind buy without trying it first. I tried a dupe that was nice but pretty generic and loud so I got rid of it. Then I discovered a couple other frags by the designer Quentin Bisch that I fell in love with, so I finally caved and bought a bottle of this and the VGG flanker.

Initially I sprayed on paper to test and wasn’t very impressed. It smelled very close to the dupe I decluttered, loud generic fruity rose dominant, with VS body spray fruity note clash vibes, not in a pretty delina way. Not my type of scent, I assumed it would sit on my shelves unused. I couldn’t decipher any notes besides rose (which is the least voted note here) with a mellow coffee shop type scent base. Hours later, I finally got the dry down…. and… it’s nice! Kind of addictive. I kept coming back to smell more. In the dry down, I get mostly a chocolate, like the air in a chocolate shop, with a mellow white floral and some sweet spices. It’s much more sexy and alluring than I realized. The dupe I tried did not have this dry down at all. I’m still not sure this is exactly my kind of scent, but I know I will enjoy wearing it from time to time. I don’t spend much time at clubs or hanging out with young party girls so I fortunately don’t have the negative associations some do with this scent. It is a bit “young” feeling but I think it works well for women 30+ also. It isn’t a scent that triggers instant sex to me but it is quite attractive and alluring, especially once it mellows out and starts to dry down. I’d estimate performance to be about 3-4 hrs at full performance with a strong arms length dry down that lasts 12+ hrs. Smells better the next morning IMO. Strong juice, not for the fans of whisper soft fleeting scents.

Seattle Dweller

Sweet and spicy 🔥 with warm, smooth creamy almond notes. Thankfully there is little citrus and nothing focused around powdery florals despite the opening off tester cards.

Given time this shows it's balance and rich cocoa - something Carolina Herrera is known for in the men's and women's lineups.

6 to 8 hours longevity depending on temps. The hint of coffee ☕ notes are fleeting but enjoyable.

5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ love ❤️

BabogTheCat

At first spray, my impression was that this smelled like spearmint gum. Not bad, as such, but not what I was expecting based on the notes listed. Upon drydown, I'm definitely getting more of the warm base notes, but they're largely shouted over by the tuberose and orris. This is a predominantly powdery floral, not much of a sweet/spicy one as listed. I'm also not a fan of the citrus note in this, as it goes a bit acrid smelling. Its not a hard scrubber but its definitely not something I'd wear, either.

FeleciaB

I have had my bottle about 3 or 4 years. I own so many perfumes that I rarely go through a whole bottle and when I do I rarely repurchase. I hadn't worn this in atleast a year and just put it on and I'm in love all over again! It's sexy, sweet, spicy. If you like flowerbomb or commodity Gold it kind of reminds me of a mash up of the two.

astridkh3

I used to be a Good Girl hater. Used to spray it every so often when I went to Ulta and always found it to be muddy and sharp. Got a sample of it and I’m now in love, it smells so much better on skin. Can really smell the Cocoa and white florals in this, it’s a beautiful combination. This works for pretty much any occasion yet it’s still sexy. I do still think it’s a bit generic and at times I still feel like it’s muddy and sharp, but when those gourmand notes come through I really like this. Hoping for a bottle as a Christmas gift

Sarra816

Very, very classic typical perfume scent. It does have that generic vibe to it. I only give it credibility because of how safe it is for every occasion, wedding guest, family dinner, night out, office, you name it.
I dont really get any coffee in this, smells like a powdery non-gourmand vanilla. Not a bad choice but I smell this DNA commonly.

GUADELUPA

One of the best scents ever! For me, it's the perfect combination of cocoa, coffee, vanilla, praline accompanied by tonka beans, tuberose and orange. All notes together give an incredibly expensive and beautiful scent. Simultaneously sweet and bitter fragrance. It's very comfortable - I can wear it all year round, in any weather. Longevity and sillage is eternal. I can smell it two days on skin, and more on clothes. The base is very seductive, delicate and feminine. I don’t know how it suits for a good girl, but for the Goddess - for sure. This is how Cleopatra or Nefertiti could smell if they used this beautiful fragrance. I love it! My antidepressant!

katerinascent

I love this scent on a night out, especially when layered. For the price point it is infuriating how little it lasts, but it serves its purpose.
In my opinion it seeps into my skin and just dances with my natural smell, but I don’t think it’s a “generic scent”, at least not in my country.
It smells very deep like a chocolate mousse and I always get compliments on it. Always. The coffee hits you at first with the white florals and then the cacao, tonka bean and vanilla sleep on your skin.
For a young adult this is gorgeous, there’s no problem with having a nighttime scent in your collection!

cflatorrev

I think this is the most generic scent EVER. I bought it because of the bottle 🤦🏻♀️ and because it was on sale. I don’t hate but I don’t like it. I use it on clothes.

IVamp

I had been avoiding this perfume for so long because of its "bad name" of being sl*tty and suitable for young party girls only...I decided to give it a try and I can't disagree more with that description, I find nothing vulgarly provocative or cheap about this fragrance. To me, it is exactly the right amount of sweet, it's well-balanced, silky-smooth, and deep. It's a total mood booster and an aphrodisiac bomb to me, makes me feel ultra-feminine, my partner loves it too. I would be totally addicted to it and wear it much more often. But...sadly, it lasts about 1 hour on me, even on the clothes, the intoxicating crisp sweetness is very short-lived. Gorgeous scent but is way overpriced for this poor performance, so I am on the search for a good cheaper dupe.

bilgeakcay

Would be great if it would not turn more masculine over hours. There's no inorganic notes but i can definitely smell something chemical and masculine as one of the base note. Appears after 1 hour approximately. Most basic party girl perfume with black opium. i'm not a fan of it, but i like it when people are fan of me, so probably it'll be my party scent until i find a superior one.

Rockwinn

This is fine. Good even. Overall it's not memorable enough to be special, but when I want something inoffensive and generically pleasing (which is often) this is a safe bet. For some reason I associate this with work-events. People will think you smell good without realizing that they think it. It leaves a good impression, but has no star scent notes.

KamillaNilsen

I dont get the hype with this, I dont like how it smells and it’s just so un-personal

frangiris

I would say it's a good scent, very sweet but more in a gourmand way. Floral too, and a bit spicy. It's too sweet for me and I think it won't be a classic.

cottonpuff_

Idk it smells like chemical soup. Vaguely sweet/floral. There isn't one specific note that particularly stands out, and there's something harsh about it that stings my nose LOL. All the other flankers have that quality about it too. All of them hurts my nose. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be the red one, Very Good Girl, because of the lychee.

illegallyblonde12321

I honestly think vanilla should be a lot further down the list, I was expecting it to be vanilla-ry like the billie Eilish perfume but its definitely more spicy, woody, ambery. Both mum and me agree that it actually could be kind of unisex as it isn't very sweet or sexy?? Maybe its just me but I honestly don't understand the popularity or the 'sexiness' of it???? Its lovely regardless and it wasnt what I was expecting and definitely not something I would usually go for because im more into vanillas e.g. Cloud by Ariana grande, but im slowly growing on it.

Madzmadz

This is the best perfume I have ever purchased. It is expensive but if you have the money to spare I think it is worth it. Brought this as a blind purchase and do not regret it at all. This is the only expensive fragrance I own that actually pulla compliments, usually it's my cheap fragrances that people seem to like.
Would 100% buy again or buy as a gift for someone.

Badbili

Smells like the perfume section of a department store with a hint of latex condom. I really wanted to like it, but obviously I hate it. Ick.

BurningTundra

Cake icing. Asian light fluffy desserts. Delightful.

vanillaflower4

For anyone looking for a perfume that smells basically the same, but
1. Is not tested on animals
2. Doesn't have patchouli
I HIGHLY recommend Floratta Red by O Boticario, it's amazing!!! It does not smell like a cheap dupe. Can be bought on amazon and it's just a much better company to support.

lucy1804

Definitely screams coffee when it’s first sprayed, but dried down to a beautiful vanilla musk, sweetened up with the pear and almond. It definitely has a masculine sharpness to it.

It may be because I tried the supreme first, but this lacks interest to me. It’s a lovely warm base, but I can’t shake the idea of it being a feminine mens cologne. It smells more generic than I would’ve hoped. It’s not as strong/long lasting as the other good girl perfumes I have tried, but it still does very well in its own rite.

KatelynMLovesPerfume

My all time favorite femme fatale scent. This scent is sexy & intoxicating when you love it. This is for the woman that wants it all, center of attention. No being shy. She gets what she wants & that's it. A perfect fragrance for date nights or for when you just want to feel utterly sexy. I disagree with the generic opinion of this fragrance, it's very unique to my nose. On my skin it brings out a lot of the coffee and tuberose, which can be a little bitter at first but it settles within like 5 minutes to a beautiful coffee, almond, tuberose, bitter chocolate & vanilla with the creamy sweet jasmine. The coffee note is done in this fragrance in the best way since I normally don't like coffee scents but I enjoy this one. Lasts all day so don't overspray. You either love or hate this fragrance and it's not a safe blind buy. I love it, will always be in my collection!

luftbahn13

Some people love it, some people hate it.
It’s a very strong and very sweet perfume.
Indeed, smells like putting a lot of make up on going partying.
Young woman with a red lipstick.
Also very sexy!
Can even be worn daily if fairly sprayed.
The iconic bottle!
I love it

happybyscent

To me this is soft, feminine, sweet, creamy, and beautiful. I smell a the pear, vanilla, and almond and a touch of white floral. Very well blended. It's subtle and smooth but projects well-- suitable for any time of day or season. One of my favs! The reputation of this being night time or party like is unfounded; it's a beautiful and versatile scent. People who associate pretty scents with "slutty" are clearly biased.

Asliyenigun

most sexiest perfume ever!!!

vewawang

i love this stuff, it smells soft but flirty at the same time, not really something i would wear since i am the ripe old age of 13, but definitely something i feel could be worn at parties or a night-time walk in Dubai's city. yum yum

Holly0117

Omg this perfume is a need. It smells so sweet and so sexy, perfect for dates or wanting to turn heads. The bottle perfectly visualises the sensuality of the scent. I love it!

kimmiedee

Sex in a bottle. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Netarpearl

Slutty little perfume. Smells like a smirk. Great for a date.

chayg123

A really lovely perfume.

On me, for whatever reason, I get a distinct pear scent most strongly, followed by a vanilla scent. There is a hint of coffee in there and an ambery wood scent that cuts through and makes for a complex scent. It has a sharpness to it that distinguishes it from the rest of the GG variants that I’ve tried.

I’ve tried this, Legere and Supreme and of the three, the original is still my favourite.

It has a distinction to it that screams ‘hot girl’ which I actually quite like in a scent. This is the scent you wear on your ankles iykyk

Anonomouse

The name "good girl" is ironic. Such a... Kinky scent. If I wanted to feel sexy, this is what I used to wear. Such a confidence boost and lasted a long time. Projected great. Compliment getter. The only reason I stopped wearing it is because it got too popular.

mckennoli

Incredibly sexy, like "wear this on your ankles" type of sexy. This is a scent that can be wore any time of year, at night. Not something I would probably repurchase unless I was very desperate for male attention, which this perfume will get you. It just isn't super interesting to me, just a sexy perfume that is somewhat long lasting. Get a sample first, but if you just have to blind buy you will probably like it, it's not offensive or controversial in any way. Good gift for the it-girl who's just a little basic, or as a generic Christmas gift for your girlfriend.

nonelle

This is nice, but I don't know what else to say. This is just nice, but not groundbreaking for me. Quite generic

EDIT: It's actually the cacao note I can't stand. I tried this again and this actually reminds me of Jimmy Choo's I want Choo, which I own too. Since the chocolate/cacao note in Good Girl rubs me the wrong way, I'll keep using I want Choo

Boba2908

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

I haven't smelt a perfume as unique as good girl. It screams sexy, confident and intoxicating. The white florals, almond, musk and vanilla go amazing together. Good girl lasts for hours, like 7-8 and the sillage is amazing. To this day, it remains one of the perfumes I get a lot of compliments on. However, the white florals can be overwhelming if you are sensitive to florals so do test it first. If you are not sensitive, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO GET IT! IT IS THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT MAGNET AND MAN CHASER!

krispotsari

the scent is ok. generic but nice! but for some reason it gives me headache. i cant stand it on me.

beautywizard

Red lips, red nails, dark brown hair, tight mini black dress, white fur (faux) jacket, sleek straight silky hair, Christian Louboutin stilletos.

Enjoyable. Effortless. Enigmatic.

kittenpawz

Seeing as some people refer to it as a safe blind buy, I gotta say it is not, not for anyone, imo. Not even for those who like Supreme and Legere flankers. There's too much going on in this bottle from absolutely acidic spicy AND citric opening (achoo) to the infamous perfume counter/mall smell. The listed notes don't go together in theory and for many people in practice as well, judging by how many negative reviews it has and what they say. It evolves like crazy and lasts over 24 hours ON SKIN so if you aren't head over heels for it good luck trying to remove or cover it with another perfume. Obviously it will stay on your clothes at the very least until you wash them. It can withstand a long bath and leaves when it wants to, not when you do, and therefore has equal chances of becoming your dream or your nightmare. And I say it as someone who absolutely adores GG. It took me over a week of taking sniffs from the tester card to start enjoying it - and it stayed on that card for a few more weeks after I've bought my first bottle by the way. Safe blind buys are usually very simple linear fragrances and airy fruity-florals. GG is a truckload of notes of unbelievable intensity that'll give you a migraine if you happen not to like the scent. Seriously take it from someone who sometimes bathes in GG (10 sprays lol), I know this perfume like the back of my hand now and how it goes from sharp citrus to creamy white florals to spicy gourmand-ish while retaining its synthetic DNA is certainly an experience that you should know beforehand if you'd like to commit to. Note-wise it has orange blossom which is known to be headache inducing for some, and musk can play tricks on your skin if you're unlucky. It's as addictive as it is polarizing so best wear it at least for one whole day before you decide.

I also agree with Strawberry_milkshake, apart from the opening, it is a soft and gentle perfume with a touch of spiciness so it doesn't get boring. And since it is indeed eternal on clothes, in case you only like the drydown, if you spray it on your skin and wear a certain clothing item, the drydown scent will stay on it and will later rub off your skin whenever you wear it, very weak but very gentle and lovely.

Cocoblondinette

I received a free sample of GG, so I decided to try it to see what the fuss is all about.

It's not for me. It smells like motor oil and desperation.

The good thing about this fragrance is that the name and the bottle actually match the juice quite accurately: the three are tacky and outdated conceptualy (Good Girl, really?)

Perfect with cheaply made polyurethane stilettos and too much makeup.

loverspov

a very earthy scent probably, one of my least favs out of the good girl line tbh. After longer wear it settles nicely! When i run out of the bottle probably won't buy it again...

rachelv

It's a mature, sweet, spicy floral. Nothing too special - many perfumes smell like this now. After a few hours the sweetness is very much all that's left, but I'll say that it's more of a foody sweetness - which is quite different from other perfumes. It's not enough to make me buy it and also I'm not that great a fan of vanilla sweetness anyway. It's not an awful perfume, but I already have perfumes in this scent category and it seems a bit redundant to buy another.

Sarahaliii

This is afloral soapy perfume its i like it but im mot impressed with it im actually alittle disappointed seeing all of these notes i would get something sweeter but its more floral but generic smelled this before every where not complex enough for me maybe
Its good for dah or night if u like a subtle perfume not a loud one you will love it it doesnt last that long though but lasts more than some if its other flankers a repurchase def. No

abrumonsegur

Absolutely love this fragrance. They say it’s mainly for night events, but i use it daily and it gets me millions of compliments! It’s a sweet smell but the white florals make it soft and gentle, while the vanilla and praline make it sooo addictive. At the end of the day I can still smell the base notes (vanilla and praline mostly). My boyfriend just sticks his nose to my skin bc he says it’s so addictive lol.

Strawberry_milkshake

I don't understand anyone who says this is a vulgar or going out fragrance...
To me, its gentle, feminine and soft 🤍
Smells like the softest whipped cream with bergamot, white flowers and a touch of vanilla and praline ❤️
Perfect feminine soft date night scent :)
The sexyness comes from the extremely feminine softness this has, the gentle touch of a woman

(Plus, the longevity is amazing, 10-12 hours on skin and forever on chlothes :) )

Célia Pais

Sexy ♥️

Avox

If you think of sex in a bottle for a woman, this is what it is. My favourite female perfume by far. It's so sweet, yet musky and powdery that it has that perfect balance for a date/night out. I've heard the longevity/sillage isn't that great, but in terms of smell for me it's 10/10 for sure.

Ihatecords

I just cant get myself to like this one. Looking at the notes I'm supposed to like it, but i just cant. Smells chemical and not in a good way

SSBurn

Reminds me of a floral soap at opening. More generic perfumey on the dry down. I get mostly musk, almond, tuberose, and a touch of vanilla and Tonka. I guess I get lemon also but I wouldn’t call this citrus forward. Very Crowe pleasing I think.

vtothek

Please pardon the misogynist term, but this is definitely a “slutty” smell in the best way.

The tuberose and jasmine are the two most prominent notes, making it have that slightly dirty feeling. The almond, tonka bean and musk also shine through though and it’s a rich and somewhat complex scent despite its price point. The sillage is not huge on me, but the longevity is quite good. It mellows out towards the end, but tuberose and jasmine are always there in every phase. I really like the Good Girl line in general, but the original is still the best and most recognizable.

I’ve heard others call this an “old lady” or “grandma” scent but I don’t get that at all, and I have no idea where they’re getting it from! It’s definitely not a little kid smell, but most women are able to pull it off. I like it a lot! Not sure if it’s a safe blind buy though.

elisssaxo

It may be my nose but I don’t call this one “sweet”. It really is at its core a basic white floral. It’s non-offensive and what I would consider “safe”. I snagged only a sample but I’m glad because it truly is just another white floral sadly

rose4franc

It's going to be stronger here and weaker there but performs like an EDP. Right off the bat nose to card: stale coffee, praline and the redundant bergamot/orange blossom copout. The florals are totally lost so why are they included? I've said it before with this many notes, it doesn't know what it wants to do. Hard not to distinguish the presence of alcohol. Obviously standard "SwEeT" that's why it's a bestseller. Probably better ones in the collection.

nekozoe

Beautiful perfume. I wear it almost everyday when I go out. It's a very mature and sexy scent. The coffee and florals come out nicely. My boyfriend always loves it and I sometimes get compliments from friends.

PiscesGal

smells like every girl in the club but you will still get compliments. i used to like it but now i cant stand the smell anymore.

turkishgirl

Omg i wanted to ove it but no….. smell like petrol

daliladreamer

One word: sexy and fresh and sweet... Makes me smile and feel lovelly...

Kaleigha

I gave this a shot yesterday, and unfortunately it did not work for me. I don't mind the initial spray, but the drydown? It was a miss. It turns dirty on me, sort of harsh and off-putting. I had hoped that whatever note that is would fade away, but sadly it only got stronger the longer I wore it. There are a few fragrances that I have that reaction to, and unfortunately this is one.

MTK82

Its a fun party girl fragrance! I have a mini bottle and a sample one...the sample smells really powdery whereas the mini smells great. I've ordered a 80ml online...really excited! It's a feel good perfume perfume for a fun night out, love the sexy undertones. Good blind buy for most ppl.

sinervium

got the travel version of this after contemplating for a while! to me it smells so comfortable and warm. sweet and mellow vanilla. i absolutely hate the bottle though. it's cheap and very 2010's to me which is why i have resisted buying this perfume for a while now. it smells so good however that i just had to have it and most likely will be giving up and purchasing the full sized bottle once i run out of the rollerball

Mia80

One word: Sexy.

Theonlydeija

It’s one of the sexiest perfumes I love it, not my favorite but one of them, has sooo many notes but it’s a heavy cinnamon scent on me.

Betrue4ever

It has the common “chemical” “headache” scent in it. I detect it in several major brand perfumes. ( not in really high end one like Hermes Tom ford etc)
It is one of the ingredient. I don’t know which one.

Scents & blooms

On me sweet, cheap,chemically! Gives me headache! Don’t like it at all. Have given it away.

PorcelainDolly2003

What a beautiful and sexy scent. While being sexy, it is also very elegant. This screams feminity and seductivity but it is such a common fragrance. Definitely more for night time, she's the it girl and the lasting power is the best I've ever tried, this does not go away

Amber&Oud

alleged notes:
almond, peach
orris, orange blossom, tuberose
tonka bean, vanilla, cocoa

what i smell:
citrusy and luxurious - accessible yet not at the same time

scent event / my reaction:
protagonist perfume, she is the girl who gets the guy in a romcom

nikxx

cheiro bem feminino e misterioso, porém MUITO comum. ganhei uma miniatura dele, nunca havia sentido o cheiro, mas assim que passei na minha pele já lembrei de umas 3 pessoas com esse mesmo cheiro kkkkkkkk é bem gostoso mas se quer algo único não acho que seja uma boa opção. ele combina bastante com noite, balada, festa e ao meu ver, mais inverno.

Face2Fragrance

Good Girl is such an iconic fragrance and it is an absolute must have in your fragrance collection. The combination of coffee and almond make this a perfect evening scent that you will love. Personally it is a great long lasting scent that will always stay well on my skin for ages without having to reapply at anytime. I absolutely love the iconic Carolina Herrera bottle design which in a store, online or in your collection will always be very eye catching to anyone looking for a new scent.

OrangesAndLove

Lovely bottle, smell and super sexy, smells like powdery flowers.

vanialla22

I got this as a sample when I ordered a bunch of perfumes from @intercityperfumesllc Instagram. It's one of my trusted online seller in Dubai. Don't get me wrong I really love the smell but I don't think getting a full sized bottle of this would be worth its price. For now, I'm fine with the free sample I got.

PerfuMEOW

I like it. This is what I always imagined Addict would smell like.

Aniorlamem

I loved this for about a month after purchasing a roller ball. Then it began to give me headaches. The gourmand & lemon combination I found interesting and exciting at first now feels like how standing under fluorescent bulbs in a cold room with a migraine feels like. Not for me.

QueOndaGuera

I didn’t want to like this, but I do. I first sprayed it on paper in Sephora and thought it was boring. Later on I ended up getting a rollerball trio and tried it again on my skin and begrudgingly found it beautiful lol. It’s sweet and floral with some spice to make it more of a night time than daytime fragrance IMO but I don’t care I’ll wear it during the day once the weather cools down. The gourmand base notes with the jasmine really sealed the deal for me. It lasts a long time even with a roller ball.

Nanalvzpink

The cream to Good girl reminds me of the discontinued Ralph Hot by Ralph Lauren perfume. So if you miss it, maybe that’s a way to get your fix.

NatyNaty

I bought a mini perfume from Sephora and even for being a dab on, the scent lasts SO LONG! CH perfumes are very elegant and this is no exception. My husband is very picky when it comes to fragrances but with this one, he said that I smell amazing, which really surprised me, so I can attest that men love this fragrance. The only downside is that it gave me a headache which doesn't happen with any other of my perfumes, so be gentle with the sprays as it can be overpowering. I will buy a full size just because of the bottle which I find so pretty!

kittywhiskers

It's ok. Generic floral gourmand, Hypnotic Poison's twin sister (I literally cannot smell the difference). I can see how this can be alluring, dark and sexy to some. Unfortunately for me it's a snoozer.

rikadana

Addictive and alluring. Yummy.

Varsta

Yes, it smells like perfume shop, but there's nothing wrong about it imo :D

FlowerSeeker

I like this! And I usually don’t go for amber or gourmand fragrances. Sometimes it smells like an orange creamsicle. Sometimes it smells like chai. Sometimes there’s a touch of bug spray. Sometimes it smells like tobacco. Interesting and fun to wear. Don’t let anyone shame you away from this fragrance. Wear what you like!

Mshapiro2115

A safe blind purchase for vanilla floral lovers. This scent really surprises me each time I wear it because I am very much not a lover of florals. I do have a few florals but the ones I have are grounded by vanilla or sandalwood. This scent bursts through with a warm floral at first spray, then settles down to a warm vanilla dry down with the floral still up front and center, but the vanilla is very much so the star of the dry down takibg it to a much more warmer, cozier scent.

margielaenthusiast

i used this in a library and someone walked in and went "omg who sprayed cologne everywhere"

in conclusion, the first spray really smells like men's generic cologne, then over time develops into a sweet, nice vanilla that isn't too immature

Kate $4040

Of any fragrance that I've owned, this is the one I was complemented on every time I wore it. Mostly by women.

This is a hot mess for a basic bitch. The bottle says it all. It is easy like red mixed juice on a childrens party for older women who also likes the scent of coffee. But not too dark coffee. No edge just smooth and sweet and uncomplicated. If you like it you like it. It is not aquired taste, but what is bad about that?

Faeriecoma

I like this because it’s odd. This perfume reminds me of what Audrey would smell like from the Tv show Twin Peaks because of the coffee note for her adoration Dale Cooper and the white florals are totally old style. It’s a cute vibe it also reminds me of a hotel lobby.

Disturbedalchemy26

Love this fragrance from CH, such a gem. Feminine without smelling super sweet or cloying. Versatile and pleasant ❤️ not everyone will love this but I certainly do!!

hannahbrooke

Favourite scent of all time and signature scent! Gorgeous and addictive

spiderleenie

This fragrance is a hot mess. When I finally tried it recently, I was not a fan.

Looking at the ridiculous amount of notes right now, I can see why I think it's a mess. This is the perfume equivalent to throwing anything and everything at the wall to see what sticks, and as a result, this perfume doesn't smell like anything to me. It just smells like "perfume," you know what I mean?

I don't get all the hype. It HAS to be the cute bottle, right?

bambi333

smells like the popular girl who peaked in high school

kiks09

Disappointed. I bought this as a blind buy since everyone labeled this as an "it girl" perfume. But to me, it just smells like a PTA meeting. 🫤

This smells like if it was someone bought a bunch of fragrance oils to make their own DIY perfume and only bought the first fragrance oils listed by popularity. It's like a Frankenstein monster perfume that is going through an identity crisis. It's not sweet, so I don't really understand why a lot of comments say that it is. Its kinda of floraly, powdery, coffee-ish, musky and woody. It's not really a feminine scent to me. I mean, its unisex leaning feminine for sure. To me this smells like something I'd imagine Cruella Deville would wear. It kinda just gives kinda an "dark villainous business lady" vibe.
A perfume that would go perfectly with the sexy bottle design would be Black Opium.

The opening is amazingly clean, fresh and upbeat with cirtuses, almond and orange blossom, and honestly, I would've bought it instantly if I didn't wait for it to develop. I immediately thought "OK, now THIS is why people love this". But you see, after years of sniffing perfumes in stores, I somehow learned how to be patient, and there it was: It settled down to a tad synthetic musk, cashmere wood and patchouli on me soon after the first 15 or 20 minutes -talk about my disappointment. Frankly, it's not a bad scent, and you may still like it on you but I still struggle very much to get how it became this famous.

MareaCamacho

Hmmm. It took me years to even attempt to smell this but to my nose it is 90% similar to Jimmy choo I want choo forever -- that one smells just like this but way more intense.

I like this but since I have jimmy choo I want choo forever- this isn't worth the buy.

nicole <3

used to be my all time favourite but it started to give mew such a severe migrane that i couldn't be near it at all and had to sell it :( not sure if I'm allergic or if this is just a headache-inducing scent. smells lovely tho

La.Nuit.Est.Belle

Amazing scent, tryed it around the lunch time, is 4am now and i still can smell it on my arm 🥰 so lovely, femenine, sweet, elegant as few fragrances, simply loved it at first smell 💗

CrissyCK

Very womanly scent. Every man I know loves this. It does smell good, but it can be nauseating so I rarely wear it for that reason. It performs very well. Just a spray or two and the whole room will smell you lol

silverrosesc

I love this! I scored a bottle second-hand years ago and have come to appreciate it much more as I’m coming to the end of my 20s. I found it overpowering when I was younger and was comically cautious with it - feeling it was wearing me.
Now I think it’s beautiful, but not exactly daring; very pretty and floral and strong on first blush, but the dry-down is my favourite part as the gentle spice comes through.
Perfect for a dinner date, or going to the theatre, an evening networking event if you’re wanting to leave an impression.

Bachi

In a store today, a woman walked in smelling divine! Complimenting her on her perfume, she said it was GG, the OG. I couldn't wait to spray it on. My take: in the opening it has a reminiscent scent to YSL's libre. That doesn't last long, then softly joining in come the almond/coffee notes but in a barely there way. Now, I am getting a deeper Armani Sí vibe minus the pencil shavings. GG is pleasant in that mall perfume sort of way. It is long lasting and had I sprayed more, probably a bit choking. Honestly not impressed. Maybe it just doesn't dance well with my body chemistry. I've been looking for a new perfume - maybe a gourmand or a floral. This is definitely not it.

sv02

I love this perfume, I do think it smells feminine and a perfect sweetness I think this is a matter of how your body reacts

the longevity is long and sillage is strong but as the day goes on it diminishes for if you don't like a strong scent I can smell it on clothes until I throw it in the washing machine and on my skin all day I combine it for special occasions also with the lotion, which if you are on a budget on its own is also fine to wear , on cold days I find this one for daytime wear as well

it is a sultry sexy perfume in my opinion and definitely recommended it is 100% worth the money and I would buy it again + the bottle is also very pretty

JKeto

I don’t know whether this was ever marketed as a young women’s scent, but this smells seriously outdated. As a someone in their 20’s, to me this smells like a considerably older woman. Like someone in their forties. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just an observation. Either way, the amber is just nauseatingly overwhelming and makes this go from OK to bad.

j.andresminor

Sexy Scent makes me remember Guerlain Ideal for Men combinated with the Original Dior Homme, leathery chocolate and floral almonds, leans more masculine than femenine, but it is very romantic, a man or a woman can like the smell without specifying a gendre who is wearing Good Girl

aertz

immediately turns powdery on my skin. fades into a deep, intoxicating blend of vanilla and sweet almond. I also get a bit of florals.

Helmommet

Too sweet for me, and too reminiscent of club bathrooms from the 2010s. Made me feel a little sick.

Scroub

It's hard to tell because the sample is so tiny, but I really like what I'm getting from this. Almond and white flowers? Always a yes from me.

Catmo

After reading all the reviews referring to this as a party fragrance, I definitely understand why. It smells like regret...just icky- like AFTER you've finished partying and you smell like sweat, stale beer and ash tray. Something in this comes off as cigarette ash mixed with sweetness and indolic and sharp florals. It's an absolute mess and a monstrosity. I've never felt this strongly about disliking a fragrance before.
Surprisingly though I don't mind Legere as much and Supreme isn't terrible. This one is just NOT it.

kittenpawz

I'll keep my previous review as my first impression commentary. Having worn it, my opinion on Good Girl somewhat changed. I'm rating it sentimentally more than objectively.

I went through with purchasing it like I thought I would and received my 30ml bottle (having to take the heel off is really inconvenient by the way, but oh well, I didn't want to risk it by getting 50ml of a perfume I wasn't sure about). I kept the GG strip on my table all that time and reached for it constantly out of curiosity but as I smelled it over and over I discovered that my mind finds it to be the embodiment of the early 2010s. I then realized I needed it for that reason as well and urgently. Early 2010s were mostly good years for me, and I've always adored perfumes' ability to mentally transport us to a different place and era. I'm a very nostalgic person in general so this is right up my alley. As to why it smells that way, perhaps because early 2010s were all about party culture, and this is a notorious party/clubbing scent? Or because it's almost like a mix of many then newer perfumes? I don't know and it's not as important to me as the fact that it fills me with a pleasant feeling of nostalgia, bringing back many happy memories.

As for the scent itself, I didn't pick it up before, but now I realize that it smells similar to Diva Rouge which I love and wear and can't recommend enough. Closer to skin they're very similar but leave a very different trail, Diva Rouge is more sophisticated, fruity-sweet and woody - a cozy cafe, Good Girl is candy-sweet, wild and frivolous - a bar/club. They have a lot of notes in common, so if you're looking for a cheaper alternative that might be it. What else they share: strong spicy/citrusy opening (dies down completely in Diva Rouge, not in Good Girl), creamy woodiness, projection and staying power, a hint of "earthiness" which is not off-putting.

GG really does smell like a perfume counter but better and only with perfumes I'd like or wouldn't mind. At actual perfume boutiques I pick up a synthetic, chemical scent from the shelves and feel disgusted and overwhelmed; this is how it would smell if it wasn't chemical and synthetic if that makes sense. That's also a feeling from 2010s - mall culture, etc. And there's that smell of a newly purchased, sealed perfume box straight out of a mall. It always has a vague and generic perfumey aroma I enjoy wherever I buy from. Call it one of those weird scents some people like. I detect it in GG too. The most perfumey perfume out there.

So, there you have it. My overall opinion hasn't changed much but I now have a better understanding of it and like it for reasons I couldn't sense before. It is still somewhat oddly sweet to me and lacks the kind of harmony I seek in perfumes. But knowing that and having accepted that prior to confirming my purchase, I don't feel so strongly about the negative aspects of Good Girl. Good thing it's a crowd pleaser, meaning I can revel in nostalgia almost anywhere.

I'll also revisit the flankers, something suggests there's hidden potential too.

P.S. I've decided to commit to an 80ml bottle. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

edit 2: Performance-wise it is !grand! On one occasion it withstood a long bath a day after spraying (still felt a faint GG aroma on my skin so it doesn't go away completely), on another one by the end of the day 1 accidental spray of GG from the night before turned out to be as strong as 4 sprays of a different perfume from the morning. My room has a faint aroma like that of a fancy perfume boutique almost all the time because I use GG often. My shelf too - from the GG bottles just standing there It's perfumes like this that make us perfume addicts complain about poor performance of others. I feel even happier about GG knowing I need very few sprays for such terrific performance. So make sure you don't mind it before you test on your skin - you won't get it off so easily.
Evolution from my POV: starts off with an icky blast of citrus, you have to really love lemon/bergamot in perfumes to enjoy the opening (makes me feel the way I did back when my waitress friend told me lots of people order coffee with lemon - imagine that taste + sweet and warm spicy, that's the opening), takes a while to wear off, but it's not that apparent in the trail. If you only spray on your wrists and they're not close to your nose, you might smell little of it. Then it transforms from citrus to sweet-milky white florals with a hint of citrus, and in the end I smell my favorite sweet-woody combo and creamy praline/vanilla with a bit of tonka/cinnamon spice. Around 5 hours in, it's the scent that hits the spot - the stage where I love all of it. Actually now that I've worn it more, that creaminess reminds me of Crystal Noir EDP creamy dry down. The trail is that perfumey "boutique smell" I and others have mentioned, plus some sweet creaminess within arm's length. No rose detected, minimal cedar & patchouli influence, also the best take on tuberose I've ever smelled. As someone with aversion towards most of those notes I am wowed.

ayshee_x

One of my favourite gourmands ever.
Everything is so well balanced between the sweetness of vanilla, coffee and white florals.
Very cosy yet sophisticated and is perfect for nights out especially in the colder months.

esquila

This gave me a migraine-- it smells like a generic perfume counter to me. I only have a small sample vial, but I won't be getting a larger sample or a bottle any time soon.

Jade-Ange D

I prefer the GG Supreme flanker.

I have Good Girl Supreme and honestly, it’s much more sexy and beautiful than the OG.
I have the smallest contenance for Good Girl and it’s better this way.

For me, it is really similar to Bella Vita from Guess but minus the Sour Cherry. What smells different than BV for me is the Cacao and Coffee notes. The Opening is very very similar to BV, then the dry down is more intense and qualitative, you smell the Cacao/Almond/Praline/Coffee and the White florals which I like.

The problem is that, it remains too similar and with such a price point, if I had to buy one of these perfumes again, I’ll buy the less expensive Guess perfume.

However there’s another problem, that is common to each bottles; but for such a price, the quality of the bottles is tacky and too plasticky to justify the prices, all though the scents are nice.

Definitely recommend GG Supreme, Very GG Glam and GG Blush, but not the OG… 6,5/10

blkleather_redlace

I test this almost every time I go into Ulta or Sephora and I'm disappointed every time. I keep wanting to like it because I find the bottle fun. But next to LVEB this is the absolute least common denominator in perfumery. It is the average of all popular perfumes from the past 20 years. It's just so boring. I can hardly pick out any notes or any development over time. It just smells like a mall.

sotnos

I wore it so much that I had to take a break from it. Very charming, elegant and sexy fragrance, suitable for a night out, but I also wore it moderately during the day. Received tons of compliments mostly from men. I feel like this perfume is amazing, however it became so popular that now everyone has it and started to bore everyone at the same time (except men for some reason). Same with Versace Eros for men. Still, amazing fragrance.

fishandbear

One of the safest safe buys if you want to get male attention. There's something about it that allures men but not a lot of women. I, myself, grew tired wearing it after a while and I'm not really sure if I'll repurchase after I finish my bottle.

Lois K

I tried this randomly a few days ago walking past a fragrance store, thinking it wasn’t my vibe, but immediately bought a large bottle! It’s stunning, a perfect going out scent that isn’t too sweet or overpowering, yet lasts for ages on my skin. Reminds me of a sexier ´I Want Choo’. And the stiletto bottle is fabulous, so OTT.

kittenpawz

Do you ever test a fragrance with 3-5 notes and feel like it leaves a lot to be desired? Well... Despite the overwhelming amount of notes Good Girl comes off the same way. All Good Girls are similar to my nose but this one is the most bearable and the only one I'd be willing to wear once in a while. I love cloyingly sweet perfumes but can't put a finger on GG's sweetness. It is not gourmand sweet, not tropical sweet, not sexy sweet either. It is sickly sweet and feels like there's no harmony between the notes, as if the overly sweet ones were thrown in last minute to create a dissonance on purpose. If the concept was to create chaos in a bottle - and based on the slogan there is a possibility - I guess you can try to get behind that. However the thing with perfumes that are presented as nonconformist and rebellious is that they naturally make people expect a mind-blowing olfactory experience more substantial than just a chaotic scent with a load of currently trending notes. Going down that road, GG becomes a regular case of biting more than one can chew. Is there anything revolutionary about it? Or is it trying to be naughty rather than revolutionary? The latter is somewhat successful but more akin to using a few very different perfumes in the span of a couple days without showering or changing clothes in-between. It lacks a distinct personality, trying to be everything at once. I would've stayed away from the whole series if it weren't for my curiosity about the nature of its reputation as a best-seller. It's somewhat of a beast-mode fragrance (enough to be headache inducing, even) and overall not as synthetic as Jimmy Choo's for example, but still. Do people love that messy nightclubbing atmosphere so much they want to "wear" it? Eventually I feel like Good Girl is Olive Garden of perfumes. I love the bottle design though, it's reminiscent of vintage fetish heels, as a fellow vintage/burlesque lover I wouldn't pass on buying a small one if I could get a really good deal - and only then.

steph.cunliffe

Fell in love with this scent last summer for wearing in the evenings. One of my favourites in my collection

The13thHour

Good Girl will forever be in my collection! This is your fall and winter night out perfume. A little bit goes a long way and the projection is incredible. Every time I wear this, it makes me think of the song Good Girl Gone Bad by Rihanna.

nisarsarah9

This one has such good projection. Lasts so long. So elegant and smells amazing. It is great for fall season. Love it!!

pinotos802

They're right when they label this as a clubbing scent! It's sexy and provocative, not really for everyday wear, more for elegant dates in the night time. I wouldn't say its necessarily gourmand. Overall a crowd pleaser.

hotbaby1

I’m head over heels for this. Projects like crazy, lasts forever and the longer it stays on the skin, the better it smells. Fall/winter fragrance, slutty, flirty, sexy, womanly, versatile, signature scent, this fragrance is a success.
Warm florals are a perfect match for my body chemistry, and I love Good Girl performance on me.

fragrancegorlie

aside from not liking the bottle design, I was really excited for the notes. All I get is overly synthetic smells and I can’t get past it

brettashley

The opening burst of citrus fades quickly and orange blossom quickly dominates. Struggling to be heard over the trumpeting orange blossom is the thin, anemic vanilla praline drydown. I'm waiting for the amber, patchouli and tonka bean to give the scent more substance and chewiness, but I'm left with just sugared orange blossom underpinned with synthetic laundry musk.

Best for: blending into the club at the crowd. Which could be a good thing. Makes it hard for someone prowling around the edges to pick you off.

kupina

So so lovely! Great for winter and fall, it feels like a warm and comfy hug. I honestly find it very unique. In a sea of generic floral scents, this one definitely stands out. The longevity is not the best, but overall it’s great!

7.5/10

spaceybailey

I LOVE this one. This is one of those perfumes you can't get enough of. It's very feminine, it's dark, sexy, potent, yet delicate. Some say this perfume is basic. I honestly think they can't even handle it. They say the bottle is tacky but then again boys in school would make fun of the girl they liked. I think it's ART just like the woman. Simplicity at it's finest. For the good girl by day and wild by night. It reminds me of Daisy from Mystic Pizza. Wearing high heels, a little black dress, and her amazing hair blowing in the wind in a red 1987 convertible Porsche.

Wearing this during the day gives fresh floral notes with sweet coffee. But wearing this at night smells even better. Chocolate Abuelita with milk, cinnamon sticks and bold tonka. An exquisite gourmand. When it warms up to your skin it turns into a seductive hot cocoa with Jasmine flowers and marshmallows. A staple in my collection. I usually layer depending on the place I'm going to, and NO. I won't tell you what I layer it with. You can't smell like me! Definitely a perfume Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr. would approve of. BISOUS

Obsidian100

If you have a live hate relationship with the strength maybe try spray behind the knees or under clothes? 😊
Orange blossom is strong in this but such a yummy, slutty, clubbing sort of scent that suits the black stiletto heels with gold heels well for personality but in a good way 😁
Would like this with less sweetness, more spice, more woods, more coffee... Any suggestions?
