Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad Eau De Parfum, 50 ml

Product Information

I Want Choo–This Jimmy Choo has peach and mandarin notes up top, with the peach being the stronger of the two throughout the wear. It doesn’t have the almond, coffee, and cocoa notes and instead goes with vanilla and benzoin. Maxima by Avon– Jasmine and citrus and other fruity notes, lead this one. Maxima really does resemble being a mix between Good Girl and Olympea (listed below). Not as complex, as either, more sheer but with a good performance for the price. Olympea by Paco Rabanne– This is another possibility, that isn’t going to smell exactly alike, but does inhabit the same sort of space as Good Girl does. Olympea, gets you plenty of vanilla, amber, jasmine, and orange. Most closely styled after or ‘inspired’ perfumes don’t 100% capture the same beat for beat development of the designer original. Though, the Dossier scents get it about as close as you can expect, and the end result smells great. Good Girl Blush is a newer flanker of the original, that some might be looking for an alternative of.

Boss Alive– Boss Alive is a newer release from Hugo Boss that certainly favors GG. However, this one isn’t as sweet but has more of a crisp juiciness and tartness, thanks to apple and plum. Floratta Red- This one from Boticario has lots of overlap with the Carolina Herrera perfume, particularly in the floral notes. To me, this one is lighter, and kind of sheer with how it comes across. Not an exact match, but inexpensive, and striking a close chord.What you don’t get? The almond and the coffee notes. So, it is a bit stripped down in that regard, when compared with our target.

In this post, I want to present an ongoing list of options for those who enjoy GG, but want to find an alternative. Properly dosed GGGB is for me a beautiful and special everyday companion with which I feel very comfortable. In addition, he also has something unique that one does not smell at every corner, white flowers should one but already like. Peach note is not listed, apparently the impression comes from the osmanthus but is clearly present for my nose. Otherwise a nice composition with white florals rounded out with some depth and animalicness. Pretty Girl Blush by Fragrenza– So, Fragrenza actually has two options which are ‘inspired by’ the Carolina Herrera fragrances. One is based on the original Good Girl formula, and the other, is based on Blush.Libre Intense by YSL– Vanilla and citrus are common overlaps between Libre Intense and Good Girl. Most of the similarities however, will come from the floral notes. Jasmine and orange blossom, when paired with the vanilla and ambergris, is when this is at its closest to GG. The smell: Okay, the scent actually starts out nice. I smell powdery sweet jasmine, light fruit and most of all other floral notes, which are also sweet and I guess here the indicated lily of the valley. But the fragrance already has a slightly stuffy "white-flower" note, but we'll see how it goes on. Is it really close? Not really. But this can be a good alternative, sort of in the same grouping between Boss Alive and Good Girl. Expect more citrus and lavender in this one, it’s really the secondary layers during the perfumes development, that resembles the Carolina Herrera.

It altogether feels fruitier and somewhat more of a floral than Good Girl. Decent performance, but the price varies from what I’ve seen, as it isn’t as widely available. The spiciness isn’t heavy, it is from a ginger note and some patchouli. The dry down is creamier and warm, with a gentle and refined sweetness. Durability and sillage I feel very weather dependent. If it is very cold rather weak, the fragrance needs some warmth, but can imagine that it could be too much of a good thing in high summer. But of course, the scent probably didn't make you think about what I just imagined as a "bad girl", uh, did it? So... uninhibited, sensual, a woman who is up for anything and likes to take risks, full of lust... um, at least according to the description of the fragrance, yes yes yes yes! So these were NOT my own words, maaaaan I'm not always to blame for everything when I write something reprehensible here *motz motz motz* :D

Hello and good evening! And of course welcome to my latest comment. Today it's "Good Girl Gone Bad" by Kilian and I'm just trying to pull myself together not to fall into endless blasphemies about women because of the fragrance name, that everything (i.e. the fragrance name and so on) would be right and even the Good Girls sometimes can be pretty big shit.... uh, I meant pretty monsters! Extremely brutal monsters! What amazes me is that with all the money that these perfumes cost, Kilian continues to refuse to hire a decent writer!

Boss Alive isn’t as floral and isn’t nutty like our target scent, it has an herbal and woody quality. There isn’t too much overlap in terms of notes, especially at the top, but the base notes are very alike. Thus, you get a similar effect without a 1 to 1 scent profile. But at least Kilian was right about one thing, and that was the expression: "Good Girl Gone Bad", at least there is something true about it, and I don't seem to be the only one who thinks so about the ladies, mu ha ha ha :DD But still not with this scent, no no, with this scent you won't become Bad Girls, at least olfactorically, but just stink... :D The good news is that you can try both of the “Pretty Girl” fragrance options, since they have 3ml sizes available to buy for cheap. So I can't recommend the fragrance to others, so you can't try it either, because you would only waste one arm if you sprayed yourself full with it. I haven't tried so many Kilians yet, but there were more beautiful scents among the tested scents, much more beautiful Kilians...Since Kilian is also on the fragrance, the disappointment is even greater. The only sin that can be found here is the exorbitant price for such a weak scent, which is not convincing either thematically or olfactorically... Armani Code– Armani Code is similar to Good Girl, but definitely not exact. Good Girl is sweeter overall, while Code has a bit more citrus, earthiness, and spice to its composition. Combined with a similar base and it produces a scent that is in the same ballpark. This and Olympea Intense are more heavily weighted toward the amber note, with vanilla, and a saltiness. Sweet, salty, warm, and floral.
