Very Good Girl
Lily is the material most people overlook in Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Eau de Parfum 80ml, and it is doing more work than its position in the composition suggests.
The fragrance arrives sweet. Redcurrant gives a tart opening snap, lychee follows with a juicy, faintly perfumed sweetness, and rose comes through deep and a little jammy. Lily sits beside that rose and does two things: it adds a cool, clean, slightly waxy quality, and it keeps the flowers from collapsing into the base too early. Vanilla bourbon makes that base, dark and rich, and vetiver runs underneath with a dry, earthy bitterness that stops the sweetness going slack.
Six materials, used without hesitation. This is a fragrance built to be noticed, and anyone looking for something quiet should look at a different bottle. The eau de parfum concentration gives eight hours on most skin and more on fabric, with the first hour the loudest by some way. Two sprays is the sensible dose and three is the maximum indoors.
The 80ml is the largest of the bottles and the one that makes sense once this has become your regular scent rather than an experiment. It is also the version to buy as a present for somebody who you already know wears it, since nobody with a favourite perfume complains about being given more of it. Cold weather and evenings suit it best, and it is aimed at women. Louise Turner, Quentin Bisch and Shyamala Maisondieu worked on the formula together, and it was launched in 2021.
The label is a New York one, created by the designer Carolina Herrera, who showed clothes for the first time in 1981. Scent production has been licensed to Puig for the whole of its history, which began in 1988.
