Good Girl Blush Elixir
More weight on the softest fragrance in the range turns out to be a better idea than it sounds, and Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush Elixir Eau de Parfum is the proof.
The opening is familiar. Bergamot flashes briefly, clean and slightly bitter, and bitter almond follows with its marzipan sweetness and that sharp stone fruit edge underneath. In this version the almond lasts longer and sits heavier. The middle is where the change is clearest: rose joins ylang ylang, and the pair are rich together, the rose full and faintly jammy, the ylang creamy and tropical with a slightly fatty sweetness. It is a more grown up centre than a simple almond and flower arrangement would be. Then patchouli replaces the lighter finish of its sibling, damp and earthy against the vanilla, which stays smooth and sweet, so the last hours are sweet with something dark running underneath.
Six materials from 2024, with the almond threading through all of them.
At elixir strength the fragrance is denser and slower. Nine hours is achievable, the trail is noticeable, and one or two sprays is the sensible dose. It rewards cold air. This is the evening version and the winter one, and it reads feminine. If you like the lighter Blush but want it to last through a long night out, this is the answer; if you were drawn to that one for its discretion, this is not the bottle to replace it with.
The business began in New York, where Carolina Herrera, born in Venezuela, presented her first collection in 1981. A licence with Puig in Spain started the perfume side in 1988, and the clothing company became Puig's in 1995.
