American designer Carolina Herrera’s collection of fragrances has been worn by bold women such as Michelle Obama and Jacqueline Onassis. The best Good Girl perfumes fuse an enticing combination of attention-grabbing white florals and warm vanilla notes that are confident, yet feminine.
The 2016 launch of the original Good Girl fragrance made a huge impact on the fragrance world. A boldly beautiful scent presented in that incredibly eye-catching stiletto-shaped bottle was almost too good to be true. There have since been several beautiful flankers, limited editions, and even a hair mist.
5 Best Good Girl Perfumes Reviewed
The best Good Girl perfumes from Carolina Herrera all share the same white floral notes of jasmine and tuberose with creamy tonka bean, yet each adds something special.
1. Very Good Girl Eau de Parfum
Review
Very Good Girl Eau de Parfum was launched in 2021 and is a delicious blend of fruits and vanilla with a floral twist. Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch are the perfumers behind this scent.
This fragrance opens with contrasting notes of sweet lychee and redcurrant, Very Good Girl is unashamedly feminine and sensual. A floral heart of rose blooms beautifully.
A smooth base of sweet vanilla soon casts its sweet magic but never dominates and is supported by smooth vetiver for a little woodiness.
Settling to a fruity/rose combo with hints of lush vanilla, this versatile fragrance is ideal for any season and occasion. I would wear this as a pretty daytime scent.
You can expect 6+ hours of wear with good sillage and projection.
Overall, Very Good Girl is an excellent addition to the range as it is wearable from early morning to early evening, then you can apply the original GG for more vanilla and the sweet darkness of cacao and coffee.
Top Notes:
Lychee, Redcurrant
Mid Notes:
Rose
Base Notes:
Vetiver, Vanilla

2. Good Girl Suprême Eau de Parfum
Review
The top notes of Good Girl Suprême begin with the sweet combination of forest fruits and Egyptian jasmine. These soon bleed onto a heart of creamy tonka bean and pretty white tuberose.
Launched in 2020, Good Girl Suprême Eau de parfum is the sweeter and juicier sister to the original GG fragrance. Also blended by British perfumer Louise Turner, this oriental white floral fragrance is both cheerful and sophisticated.
An exotic base of woody/leathery vetiver soon kicks in to cast its magic. Upon dry-down, it settles nicely into a sweeter sexy mix of creamy tonka bean, white floral and berries. Yum!
As for when to wear, Good Girl Suprême is perfect for day or night time wear for autumn/winter/spring. It’s bright and classy which manages to balance youthful energy with effortless sophistication. Reminds me of a celebrity fragrance – but in the right way!
Performance is reasonable. You can expect 4+ hours of wear from this fragrance with moderate sillage and projection. The sweet forest fruits and delicious tonka bean become the most prominent notes once settled.
Overall, Good Girl Suprême is sweeter and more floral than the original GG fragrance, yet still has the beautiful tonka bean kick. A more girly version of the original GG fragrance that is well worth checking out.
Top Notes:
Forest Fruits, Egyptian Jasmine
Mid Notes:
Tuberose, Tonka Bean
Base Notes:
Vetiver

3. Good Girl Légère Eau de Parfum
Review
Good Girl Légère Eau de Parfum is a decadent oriental floral fragrance that keeps firmly rooted in the GG family. Légère adds so much to the original, introducing bright citrus, exotic ylang-ylang and smooth dulce de leche. Launched in 2018.
The opening notes of Good Girl Légère are a citrus trio of lemon, bergamot and orange. White floral notes of jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom are soon joined by sensual buttery ylang-ylang.
These florals entwine with an almost edible base of caramel-like dulce de leche and tonka bean providing a vanilla kick.
As for when to wear, Good Girl Légère is a delightful autumn/winter/spring fragrance that can be worn day or night. It even can be worn on cooler summer days. For me personally, the ylang-ylang makes it lean slightly more towards formal evening wear.
Performance is excellent, and you can expect 6+ hours of longevity with decent sillage and projection. The dulce de leche, tonka bean and ylang-ylang, in particular, last incredibly well.
Overall, Légère is an elegant older sister of the original Good Girl fragrance. It’s luxurious, classy, intoxicating and demands attention.
Top Notes:
Lemon, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange
Mid Notes:
Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes:
Dulce de leche, Cinnamon, Praline, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean

4. Good Girl Eau de Parfum
Review
British perfumer Louise Turner is responsible for the now almost iconic Good Girl Eau de Parfum. This sensual oriental white floral fragrance was only launched in 2016, yet feels like it has been casting its magic forever.
Opening with a contrast of fresh citrus dusted with almond flakes and coffee, Good Girl Eau de parfum is unashamedly feminine, sensual and gourmand. White floral notes of tuberose and jasmine bloom from the heart and are joined by soft rose.
A smooth base of creamy tonka bean adds a vanilla vibe, while cacao and praline bring an almost abyss-like depth that oozes class.
As for when to wear, Good Girl Eau de Parfum is perfect for autumn/winter daytime and evening wear, even cooler days in spring. Suitable for pretty much any occasion from relaxing at home to being fully dressed up for an evening meal.
The performance is pretty good. Expect 5+ hours of wear with decent sillage and projection. Lasts really well on clothing.
Overall, Good Girl Eau de Parfum possesses the sweet darkness of cacao and coffee with smooth vanilla-esque tonka. It is brightened by white floral notes of tuberose and jasmine. Classy, warm and elegant.
Top Notes:
Almond, Coffee, Citrus
Mid Notes:
Jasmine Sambac, Tuberose, Rose
Base Notes:
Tonka Bean, Cacao, Praline

5. Good Girl Hair Mist
Review
Lose yourself completely in the Good Girl universe with the utterly delightful Good Girl hair mist.
Opens with white floral notes and almond, it settles to become slightly sweeter than the Eau de Parfum and leaning heavier on the vanilla/tonka bean notes. Good Girl hair mist is both refined and classy, and an exciting alternative way to enjoy the GG experience.
As for when to wear, just like the original GG fragrance, this hair mist is best suited to the months of autumn/winter/spring, and perhaps creeping into cool summer days.
Performance is good as it provides 6+ hours of longevity. This hair mist (and hair mists in general) is only for close encounters, so don’t expect it to project like an EDP and EDT.
Overall, Good Girl Hair Mist is a beautifully feminine combination of white florals and vanilla notes that’s well worth adding to your beauty regime. It discreetly adds the GG fragrance to your hair without overpowering.
Top Notes:
Almond, Coffee, Citrus
Mid Notes:
Jasmine Sambac, Tuberose, Rose
Base Notes:
Tonka Bean, Cacao, Praline
How To Apply:
Option #1 – After you have styled your hair, simply spray lightly over your hair and gently stroke your hair running from top to bottom.
Option #2 – During your hairstyling routine, lift your hair to expose your roots and spray just high enough above the roots to not spray your scalp. You should then stroke your hair from root-to-tip to ensure full coverage.
