Very Good Girl
Buy Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Eau de Parfum 80ml for winter evenings rather than for the office, because this is a fragrance with no interest at all in being discreet.
Sweetness arrives early and never really leaves. Redcurrant opens it with a sour snap, lychee follows and turns that sharpness juicy within a minute, and from there the fruit hands over to flowers. Rose is the dominant one, deep and slightly syrupy as it is treated here, with lily beside it adding a cool and faintly waxy cleanness. The base is vanilla bourbon, dark and thick, cut by vetiver, which is the only dry material in the composition and the one doing the most useful work in it. Without that root like bitterness underneath, the whole thing would be too much of a good thing, and with it the fragrance has a spine to hang the sweetness on.
At eau de parfum strength it is strong for the first hour or so and then sits close to the skin, holding on for most of a day and leaving a trace on a scarf for days afterwards. Two sprays is the dose. Four will make enemies of your colleagues.
The 80ml is the biggest of the three bottles the fragrance comes in, which makes it the right choice once you have settled on it and the wrong one if you have not yet decided. It will outlast a winter and most of a second one at ordinary rates of use. Louise Turner, Quentin Bisch and Shyamala Maisondieu share the credit for the composition, which dates from 2021.
The house is Carolina Herrera of New York, named for the Venezuelan born designer whose clothes were first shown in 1981. Puig has held the perfume licence since 1988 and the fashion company itself since 1995.
