About this deal

The dry down is more floral than GG, but it still keeps up the sweetness throughout. If you don’t need the tonka, coffee, and cacao that GG has…this can be a really nice alternative of the perfume. Now, I haven’t tried any fragrances from this brand as of yet. But, they do have a good reputation from what I’ve read. I’m adding Femme Fatale to the list for those who want to possibly try another similar perfume to Good Girl.

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.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. The latter stages are where this perfume really overlaps with Good Girl. Jasmine and vanilla, while GG goes with jasmine and tonka bean. The Choo has more of a sparkling fruit accord up top and a resinous finish. 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. 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.

Miss Dream is fairly sweet, more sheer, and does have a lovely creamy vanilla/tonka bean combination. The tonka bean feels particularly strong. 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. 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.It's a warm spring day, I'm sitting in a white flower garden with my white summer dress on and I bite into an overripe peach. Coach Dreams Sunset– The flanker to the original Coach Dreams, Sunset has a pretty similar but not exact style like our target. Actually, to me this is closer to Good Girl Legere than the original. Floratta Red- This one from Boticario has lots of overlap with the Carolina Herrera perfume, particularly in the floral notes.

You start things off with a sparkling pear note, creating a similar effect to the citrus found in GG. Tonka bean instead of pure vanilla, but it can come across as smelling the same. This opens up with a frozen pear sorbet note, bergamot, tonka bean and vanilla. So, even from the start you get the overlapping bergamot and tonka bean, with a similar structure to GG and Legere. Conclusion: Well... this scent isn't really working for me. For me it mostly just smells like not really definable, flowery notes, which also come across as rather stuffy. So the fragrance is not only a bit unpleasant for me, but also very unspectacular and therefore extremely boring.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. 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. 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... In this post, I want to present an ongoing list of options for those who enjoy GG, but want to find an alternative. 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.
