About this deal

Sadly enough, Suprême stands waaaay closer to skin vs the OG. It's really unfortunate, because it smells warmer, cozier, more enveloping. These two are sisters but they don't give off the same vibe. To me, GG is memories, emotions, nostalgia, mystery, darkness and allure, whereas Supreme comes off as simply a nice nighttime perfume inspired by GG. Sort of like a remix of your favorite song that adds a new twist and slightly edits the rest, and you might even like it too, but it remains a remix. edit 2: Performance-wise it is !grand! On one occasion it withstood a long bath a day after spraying (still felt a faint GG aroma on my skin so it doesn't go away completely), on another one by the end of the day 1 accidental spray of GG from the night before turned out to be as strong as 4 sprays of a different perfume from the morning. My room has a faint aroma like that of a fancy perfume boutique almost all the time because I use GG often. My shelf too - from the GG bottles just standing there It's perfumes like this that make us perfume addicts complain about poor performance of others. I feel even happier about GG knowing I need very few sprays for such terrific performance. So make sure you don't mind it before you test on your skin - you won't get it off so easily. It's a sleek, modern fragrance with a powdery, clean scent - but underneath that there's that sexy tuberose just waiting to tantalize the nose & draw you in. That's my "sales pitch" for it :o)

I dropped by Macy's to buy her a full bottle for her birthday yesterday, and the counter-girl said they're selling it so fast they can't keep it on the shelves - and I believe it.The tonka is very smooth, and this has a warm, vanillic gourmond quality to it. The fruit smells like Viva la Juicy, or Victoria's Secret blends. Again, not bad whatsoever, but nothing memorable. Miss Dream is a dupe of Good Girl Carolina Herrera. Very good approximation, just Good Girl has better performance. I do get a coffee note in this fragrance even though it's not listed. At first I didn't smell the coffee, but now I can smell a coffee note in the air (not on the skin) that is more like instant coffee or the grounds at the bottom of your cup, not the smell of opening a fresh tin of coffee. Miss Dream requires several months of dark storage to develop performance.

I'll keep my previous review as my first impression commentary. Having worn it, my opinion on Good Girl somewhat changed. I'm rating it sentimentally more than objectively. This is listed as a white floral, yet I wish the florals were more present. As with GG Blush, I think this is quite pretty, but I also wish the base was heavier in woods, it needs sandalwood IMO. And, I also had hoped this would be spicier or cozier...what with the title of "Supreme", but it isn't. It's not that deep. It's smoother than the original, but so is Légère, and Légère does it with more personality. Supreme reigns supreme compared to the original and Legere flanker of GG. Supreme is a nice floriental gourmand to me, without that bitey ambroxan or whatever it is in the original and Legere. For instance, I love the bottle and top notes in Legere, but it burns my nose on the drydown. Even on paper. It's the same intensely sharp woody bitter vibe got from many woody/"oud" perfumes (e.g. Alexandria III, Angel Nova, etc.). This is destined to be THE women's fragrance of 2017. My wife has samples of like 30 designer & niche perfumes, and this is my absolute favorite. Totally dead sexy fragrance.

However on its own it’s very complex and unique. As a man I have to be in the right setting to pull this off, I usually layer a mens oriental/wood fragrance on top to tone down the feminine part. Wearing this alone, holy cow let me tell you it’s a beast! Vetiver here smells like wet wood to me and it's peculiar but doesn't overpower other notes so I can get behind that. I mostly smell it when sprayed in the air. Virtually most female perfumes with vetiver are great despite it being a male note as if the noses try extra hard to refine and smooth it out with the rest of the notes. Tonka and vetiver are a nice combination, and this is not a bad perfume overall obviously but in my opinion pales in comparison with Good Girl. GG Suprême goes creamier and a tad bit sweeter than the OG. I know Dulce de Leche is not listed in this one but while I only got it faintly when testing GG Légère, I somehow get it more in Suprême. There is something sweet, lactonic and slighty caramelly going on, on top of the distinct GG DNA. Amazing. I bought the 1.7 FL oz from ulta then walked into petco and a woman Said I smelled amazing. It was odd but it's that good. On me? It smells like Caramel chocolate type fragrance at first then dries down to a cotton candy on my skin. It's good. Hint of berries. Not artificial cotton candy but the kind that's spun in front of you. Smells delicious paired with bare vanilla shimmer and bare vanilla cashmere from vs. And layers well with velvet petals bs. Or autumn shore. And tease cocoa sioree. What I love about Good Girl is that while it's sugary sweet, it has the bitterness of coffee and almond and the dry floral jasmine and tuberose to balance out the sugar. It's not a vanilla bomb like most perfumes in this general category, and that's what makes it womanly rather than girly. The bitterness makes it darker and dryer while still reading as hyper-feminine.
