Most-Discussed Carolina Herrera Perfumes
Community chatter about Carolina Herrera centres on Good Girl, Good Girl Blush and Very Good Girl.
How the picks are built
Good Girl (2016) smells like toasty coffee and almond sweetness, soft musky florals, starting with almond and bergamot before roasted tonka bean, amber and cocoa take over. Good Girl Blush (2023) reads as creamy sweet vanilla, bitter almond, floral powder, opening on bitter almond and bergamot and drying down to tonka bean and vanilla. Very Good Girl (Eau de Parfum, 2021) is described as sweet lychee berries over creamy vanilla rose; the opening brings lychee and currant, and the base settles on bourbon vanilla and vetiver.
