Good Girl Jasmine Absolute

Carolina Herrera classifies Good Girl Jasmine Absolute as an amber gourmand and describes it as a rich, deeply gourmand variation on jasmine. The house sees in it a floral gourmand that heightens the luminous sensuality of the house’s signature flower.

Mandarin, jasmine, caramel

Bright mandarin and a juicy blackcurrant accord open the fragrance and melt into a heart of jasmine and bitter almond. In the base, a melting caramel accord and roasted tonka bean bring an enveloping warmth, which the house also associates with benzoin.

The notes are arranged here as follows: mandarin and blackcurrant in the top; jasmine and bitter almond in the heart; caramel, tonka bean and benzoin in the base. Blackcurrant and caramel are accords reconstructed by the perfumers, and the tonka bean is roasted.

What the label declares

Further down are rose oil, isoeugenyl acetate, rose ketones, benzaldehyde with its bitter almond accents and orange flower oil. Three colorants, violet, yellow and blue, appear at the end of the list.
