What Reddit owners say
5/5 Value“That's how I tried good girl, good girl blush elixir, and Gucci flora gorgeous orchid!”
3/5“I don't care how good Good Girl is, the bottle repels me. It's not that it's ugly; I've seen uglier, I've bought uglier. But there is something about that bottle and that name combo that just make me feel "no freaking way in hell!"”
5/5“The Good Girl line be CH. I avoided these fragrances like the plague because I refused to own a bottle that looks like a giant stiletto heel but then one day I was bored and decided to smell them and now I own 3 of them lol. They are so easy to wear any day of the week or occasion, I really love them.”
4/5“lol I can't tell if you're joking bc they all say “CH Good Girl” 🧐 What are your options? I'm embarrassed and proud at the same time to say I have every Good Girl variation that exists 🫣😁”
3/5 Synthetic / harsh“There's something in the base of all of these that I don't like. It's also in Good Girl, Alien Goddess Intense, and a lot of the JHAG perfumes, but not NAP. I don't know what combo it is, but I think it's ambroxan and something else. It smells bad on my skin. It's not in any of the JPG or Prada perfumes, so I have a lot of those.”

5/5“Good Girl has stood the test of time. I wore this when it first came out 10 years ago and people still love it. Good for her!”
3/5“I have the OG good girl and I like the scent but the bottles are so horrible. After I only had about half of the 80ml left the bottle wouldnt spray anymore due the odd shape of the sprayer and where the liquid was in the bottle. So i had to open the bottle up and transfer it to a basic travel spray”
4/5“I got the original good girl yesterday and was confused when the heel didn't have the button! I was like I'm going to be SO PISSED if this is a dabber lol”
5/5 Longevity“To be honest, I've never gotten my nose on good girl so I can't compare. I did look it up out of curiosity and it looks like they share a tonka bean and jasmine, warm gourmand feel. I've got several Ella K and I think they're very well blended with excellent longevity, and I highly recommend sampling this one to see how it compares. (Shameless plug - I can decant this one if you're interested :) In the meantime, I'm going to try and find a sample of Good Girl! I love a warm, ambery fragrance and the notes in GG look so good!”
5/5 UniqueOffice“Very Good girl is a soothing blend of fruity and floral scents.”
5/5“You'll love it and I got my son their La Bomba one and he thinks it smells even better than good girl. My son is very feminine so he wears women's perfume along with unisex and he is everyone's resident sent finder lol he has the biggest collection I've ever seen and he really does have the best taste”
5/5“It's discontinued now and I never hear anyone talk about it, but the one I own and love is Good Girl Legere. Has a delicious dulce de leche note and is my favourite, first and so far only full bottle I've ever bought.”
4/5 Value“I'm spoiled for Baccarat and Good Girl because I have so many identical smelling (to me) cheap dupes.”
4/5 ComplimentsSweetness“very good girl is THAT GIRL it's fruity it's flowery it's sweet but in a really soft way, not like a gourmand. I didnt even realize it was a vanilla note because it's so subtle but makes a huge difference. I get so many compliments and it lasts !”
4/5 Unique“• Saib Good Girl CR: Her choice for late evenings—creamy coffee and tuberose. • Piona 7 Gözəl: A unique, sophisticated fruity-floral (Kilian vibes) that stands out because not everyone is wearing it.”
5/5 Compliments“The CH good girl jasmine is beautiful and every time I wear it so many people compliment me. The original was okay but it felt like it was missing something to me, this totally scratched whatever itch I had with it”
4/5“This pulls very herbal on me, the ylang ylang pulls through too strong so I had to let her go 🥲 I love the OG Good Girl and Jasmine Absolute!”
3/5“I bought the original Good Girl when it came out shortly after it fell over and the heel broke and I then had to figure out how to store it and it always fell over. I hate to admit it, but when I moved a few years ago I just threw it away. I've never been tempted to buy another one.”
4/5 SweetnessUnique“Good girl OG.”
4/5“I don't know about the Jasmine one, but I used to have Very Good Girl in the 1 oz size and it had a removable top and normal sprayer.”
4/5 Value“All the ones I got free using my Ulta points: CH Good Girl Jasmine Absolute, JPG La Belle Paradise Garden, Burberry Her & Elixir, Destin de Balmain. Or deals from Capital One Shopping like $50 back on a $100 purchase at Mugler by getting Angel Blush or just yesterday with a $45 back on a $75 Lancôme purchase.”
5/5 Sweetness“There are so many, and yes, I'm basic, but every time I spray Good Girl Jasmine Absolute, I fall in love. Also, it's my sweet cat's favorite 😻”
5/5“I have 5 full bottles: Dior - Hypnotic Poison 50ml (gift), CH - Good Girl (gift), and Phlur - Father Figure (smell is gone quicker than a fart in the wind, but it's my favourite fragrance, so the bottle is out of necessity), M+G - Strawberry (came in a calendar), Ded Cool - 01 (came in a calendar). I only ever buy minis or travel sizes.”
4/5 ProjectionSummer“Yeah, I have Good Girl and Very Good Girl and both are very complimented fragrances. The good girl though is a little heavy for hot, humid, summers but it performs so well…lasts for hours and has a great sillage.”
3/5 Synthetic / harsh“Oh my godddd exactly. Good Girl smells nice on others but on me it smells so synthetic and generic”
4/5“I have the OG Good Girl my sister doesn't use and it's so good. The “problem” with designers is that they're marketed towards genders, all perfume notes are unisex imo.”
4/5“Yes , I got CH good girl, which I already own a bottle of. It is genuine.”
4/5“this is late but good girl blush is my all time fav perfume. ive tried samples of many popular perfumes, and nothing smells as good to me as good girl blush. im wanting to get very good girl sometime this year too. the OG is good, but it feels too sexy for me. i overall prefer fruitier or bright scents. if thats not you then def go for OG.”
4/5 Night out“I have a combo that gives these vibes: several sprays of Carolina Herrera's OG Good Girl, a bit of Replica's Jazz Club (neck and behind the knees only, it's very strong) and an oil roll-on dupe of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry.”
4/5 Fresh & clean“I don't own Good Girl but I've sampled all of the Delinas and own Valaya and Valaya Exclusif. Delina la Rosee is my favorite of the 3 since it's lighter and more fresh.”
4/5“Original Good Girl is eternal on me. Is this Blush or Blush Elixir? I have the Elixir and its also pretty strong.”
5/5“I went to Macys on a whim and saw the good girl line and went to check them out. I sprayed Blush Elixir first and loved it SO MUCH on first sniff that I bought it right then and there and didn't even try the others.”
5/5 Everyday“Have you smelled Carolina Herrera Good Girl or any of the flankers? I was also obsessed with Viva La Juicy, it was my signature from middle school through college. As soon as I smelled Good Girl it strangely reminded me of a “more adult” version (even though there are very few similar notes). The scents just remind me of each other for some reason. Maybe try it out.”
4/5“CH very good girl Stella by Stella McCartney ( I have so little left) ”
5/5“Wow!! I just received my second hand bottle of Good Girl Supreme today and it smells sooo freaking good. It's definitely my favorite of the line and I've gone through almost a full bottle of Very Good Girl Elixir”
4/5“Carolina Herrera Good Girl, I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. It's a jumbled cacophony of notes to my nose.”
4/5“THANK YOU! i have been thinking of blind buying bc I see it a lot on people's collections.. but i always just going back to Good Girl 😂 its my ride or die”
4/5“Have you tried Born in Roma or Good Girl? I got travel sprays of million and flower.”
5/5“I've tried Burberry Goddess, JPG Gauliter Divine, Carolina Herrera Good Girl, and a few others, but I swear they just disappear into thin air on me. I want something that actually projects and leaves a noticeable scent trail.”
4/5 ComplimentsOffice“I have a bunch of the Good Girl fragrances and La Bomba by CH, Jimmy Choo I Want Choo, Lattafa Yara Elixir. I thought to myself "who's going to bully the prior service infantryman? I'll wear whatever the heck I want?" I get a ton of compliments at work from women coworkers too which isn't the goal of course but says a lot I think.”
