Very Good Girl
Rose and lily hold the middle of Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Eau de Parfum 50ml, and they are the part of this fragrance that keeps it from being purely a sweet one.
The rose is deep and dark rather than fresh, closer to petals a day past their best than to a garden in the morning, and the lily behind it is cool, clean and slightly waxy. Before them, redcurrant and lychee give a tart, juicy opening that lasts a few minutes and sets the expectation of sweetness. After them, vanilla bourbon arrives and delivers on it, rich and a little boozy, with vetiver running underneath to add earth and bitterness. Six materials, three clear stages, and no attempt to disguise what any of them are. This is not a composition that hides its working, and anyone new to perfume can follow it from the first spray to the dry down without help.
The concentration is eau de parfum and it behaves accordingly. There is real projection early on, then a long close wearing phase, and on most skin it will still be detectable at the end of an evening out. Eight hours is the common experience and more is not unusual in cold air. At 50ml it is the sensible middle size: enough for months of regular use, small enough not to feel like a decision you cannot reverse. It is marketed to women, it suits the colder half of the year, and it rewards a light hand far more than a generous one. The scent was composed in 2021 by Louise Turner, Quentin Bisch and Shyamala Maisondieu.
The label began in New York with the designer's own collection in 1981. Fragrance arrived in 1988, licensed to the Spanish group Puig, which took on the clothing business itself in 1995.
