Presented by Carolina Herrera For those drawn to hyper-femme perfumes, Carolina Herrera fragrances are often a popular choice—the range remains a crowd-pleaser for lovers of sweet, floral, bold aromas. Most notably, iterations of the stiletto heel-shaped bottle have been the brand’s best seller since the original Good Girl eau de parfum launched a decade ago. Its high-heel design has become a symbol of confidence, power, and modern femininity,” a representative from Carolina Herrera tells Vogue.

This Smells Like: Fresh rosewater with more projection power Why We Love It: Very Good Girl is more vivacious and fiery than the OG Good Girl, as the bottle design suggests. The fragrance opens with a burst of red currant and juicy lychee, before settling into soft rose petals as the scent dries down. Though, the fruity notes hear read as a bit more tart than hyper sweet.
