Good Girl

Carolina Herrera has been dressing women since 1981 and signing fragrances since 1988. Good Girl appeared in 2016, under the beauty direction of Carolina Herrera Baez, the designer’s daughter, and became within months the biggest commercial success of the house.

A launch that broke the counters of the house

Jose Manuel Albesa, of Puig, announced in early 2017 that sell-in and sell-out objectives had been doubled in every market, and that the fragrance had held first place among women’s scents for three consecutive months in several countries. The American release, brought forward by a year, was presented as the largest of the house in the United States in twenty years.

Louise Turner credited alone

Now Smell This attributes the composition to Louise Turner. The market associates Quentin Bisch with her everywhere, a name no page of the house carries: the perfumer field therefore keeps only the first, the second remaining an unverified attribution.

Duality as the argument

Carolina Herrera Baez sums up the intention in one sentence: a woman can be good and bad at once. The white flowers carry the light side, roasted tonka bean and cocoa the dark one, and the launch motto plays on that reversal.

What the house says today

The house classes Good Girl as an ambery floral and presents it as the first of a collection that now counts Very Good Girl, Good Girl Blush and their elixirs. The eau de parfum sells in 30, 50, 80, 100 and 150 ml, the 100 ml being refillable.
