Is Good Girl by Carolina Herrera a good perfume?

Good Girl by Carolina Herrera perfume broke convention when it was first introduced, which is why the scent is so polarised currently, but overall the scent is good.

In 2016, Carolina Herrera broke the mould when she introduced her iconic perfume, Good Girl. At the time of the release, fragrance houses were attempting to outperform each other in terms of how far they could push bottle designs.

Herrera arguably bested all of the ambitious designs with her signature stiletto Good Girl perfume range design. As such, despite the popularity and commercial success of the perfume, customers have been polarised about the actual scent of the perfume.

What is the most popular Good Girl perfume?

Since the 2016 release of the original Good Girl perfume, with supermodel Karlie Kloss as the ambassador of the fragrance, Caroline Herrera has capitalised on the signature bottle design by releasing a series of Good Girl scents.

There are currently over six fragrances released in the series, including a spray mist. However, despite the fact that the range will likely continue to expand in the coming years, the signature, original Good Girl fragrance will seemingly always be the most popular.

Karlie Kloss has remained the ambassador of not only Good Girl, but the entire Good Girl range of fragrances as seen in the brand’s latest promotional ad campaign.

The bestseller from the range is still the original Good Girl perfume. The fragrance is so iconic that in 2016, Good Girl was inducted into The Fragrance Foundation’s Hall of Fame.

This is besides the numerous other accolades that the fragrance has won in the six years since it was introduced.

It is possibly for this reason that recent reactions about and reviews of the scent are polarised about whether the fragrance is worth it or not.

On Fragrantica, reviews of the scent are polarised, primarily based on the fact that the perfume’s reputation precedes it. Therefore, many who have experienced the scent had mixed reactions, like one comment, which read:

“I’ve seen so many people rave about this and finally decided to try it on myself today… and, wow, I have never been so underwhelmed lol. This is the most generic, soapy scent ever (in my opinion.) It’s nice and I got pleasant whiffs of it during the day, but nothing special. Don’t get this if you like to stand out.”

Another person wrote, “I heard a lot of amazing things about this perfume but it is very basic. There is nothing that makes it stand out. I think it is safe to gift someone.”

What does Good Girl smell like?

When Good Girl was initially released, it was promoted as a fragrance that was meant to encapsulate women “born of contradictions.”

The fragrance was meant to encapsulate the duality of the modern woman, as both a nurturer and a feminine, sexy woman that does not have to choose between the two. The amber fruity scent is a play on this duality as every note level explores this dichotomy.

The top notes are almond, coffee, bergamot, and lemon, the middle notes are tuberose, jasmine sambac, orange blossom, orris, and Bulgarian rose, and the base notes are tonka bean, cacao, vanilla, praline, sandalwood, musk, cashmere wood, amber, cinnamon, patchouli and cedar.

Where and when can I wear Good Girl?

Good Girl may have been ideal for a special night out when it was first introduced, as the scent is really heavy and not ideal for the morning, however, in light of its popularity, it may be difficult to only wear the scent on special occasions.

For this reason, the fragrance is known as an everyday fragrance for running errands or doing menial, day-to-day tasks. It is also the ideal scent for a night out partying, rather than for an intimate dinner or special event.

How much is Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl?

If you are looking for the Good Girl signature perfume, the scent retails from just $59.95 on Amazon, depending on the size of the bottle purchased.

Amazon also has most of the other fragrances in the Good Girl range, which you can also purchase. This includes the Supreme, Very Good Girl, and the Legere perfumes, which are in approximately the same price range as the original.
