Carolina Herrera

Good Girl EDP

2016

Coffee and white flowers after dark — duality by design.

Carolina Herrera Good Girl
sweet
white floral
warm spicy

The stiletto-shaped bottle became iconic; the line spawned a long-running flanker series. Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch's 2016 launch for Carolina Herrera was a sweet floral-gourmand with almond, coffee, and bergamot at the top, a tuberose-jasmine sambac heart, and a tonka-cacao-vanilla-praline base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, leans evening, lasts 10-plus hours with strong projection.

The take

What works

  • Coffee-tuberose duality is bold and genuinely memorable
  • Projection that earns its compliment magnet status
  • Killer longevity for a designer fragrance

Trade-offs

  • Heavy — can become oppressive if over-applied
  • Too dark for spring or summer wear
