Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad Eau De Parfum, 50 ml

Product Information

Durability and sillage I feel very weather dependent. If it is very cold rather weak, the fragrance needs some warmth, but can imagine that it could be too much of a good thing in high summer. Since Kilian is also on the fragrance, the disappointment is even greater. The only sin that can be found here is the exorbitant price for such a weak scent, which is not convincing either thematically or olfactorically... Hey hey, of course desire and lust doesn't have to have anything to do with sexuality, because the inspiration for the fragrance here even comes from the biblical story of original sin and the Fall, the tasting of the forbidden fruit and the associated expulsion from paradise, to put it very succinctly (... hm, wasn't it Eve's fault that she and Adam were expelled from paradise? Of course, the ladies again... yes, I know, that's not quite true, but it just had to happen again, he he :DD). But somehow the whole thing is still described in a confusing way, so where are the connections with all the descriptions and I didn't want to deal with it too much at the moment, because I didn't like the scent either and well, that's why I'll come to the scent description first. Peach note is not listed, apparently the impression comes from the osmanthus but is clearly present for my nose. Otherwise a nice composition with white florals rounded out with some depth and animalicness.

Most closely styled after or ‘inspired’ perfumes don’t 100% capture the same beat for beat development of the designer original. Though, the Dossier scents get it about as close as you can expect, and the end result smells great. But still not with this scent, no no, with this scent you won't become Bad Girls, at least olfactorically, but just stink... :D The latter stages are where this perfume really overlaps with Good Girl. Jasmine and vanilla, while GG goes with jasmine and tonka bean. The Choo has more of a sparkling fruit accord up top and a resinous finish.Coach Dreams Sunset– The flanker to the original Coach Dreams, Sunset has a pretty similar but not exact style like our target. Actually, to me this is closer to Good Girl Legere than the original. The dry down is more floral than GG, but it still keeps up the sweetness throughout. If you don’t need the tonka, coffee, and cacao that GG has…this can be a really nice alternative of the perfume. It altogether feels fruitier and somewhat more of a floral than Good Girl. Decent performance, but the price varies from what I’ve seen, as it isn’t as widely available.

But of course, the scent probably didn't make you think about what I just imagined as a "bad girl", uh, did it? So... uninhibited, sensual, a woman who is up for anything and likes to take risks, full of lust... um, at least according to the description of the fragrance, yes yes yes yes! So these were NOT my own words, maaaaan I'm not always to blame for everything when I write something reprehensible here *motz motz motz* :D One nice thing about the Kilian collection is that it reminds me over and over again that there is no necessary connection between marketing and perfume qualities. The text in this case may as well have been composed by a monkey sitting at a typewriter and hammering out string after string of letters until a sentence fragment in the English language was finally produced.Conclusion: Well... this scent isn't really working for me. For me it mostly just smells like not really definable, flowery notes, which also come across as rather stuffy. So the fragrance is not only a bit unpleasant for me, but also very unspectacular and therefore extremely boring.

Big minus is the price, I would probably not buy GGGB at the original price. I got hold of a great promotional price. If you can do without the beautiful bottle and buy the refill at the promotional price is the price justifiable... This opens up with a frozen pear sorbet note, bergamot, tonka bean and vanilla. So, even from the start you get the overlapping bergamot and tonka bean, with a similar structure to GG and Legere. I Want Choo–This Jimmy Choo has peach and mandarin notes up top, with the peach being the stronger of the two throughout the wear. It doesn’t have the almond, coffee, and cocoa notes and instead goes with vanilla and benzoin. Miss Dream is fairly sweet, more sheer, and does have a lovely creamy vanilla/tonka bean combination. The tonka bean feels particularly strong.The spiciness isn’t heavy, it is from a ginger note and some patchouli. The dry down is creamier and warm, with a gentle and refined sweetness. To me, this one is lighter, and kind of sheer with how it comes across. Not an exact match, but inexpensive, and striking a close chord. So, you’ll get a fruity vanilla start to I Want Choo. The floral notes in this one are also dominated by the jasmine, which splits some of the duties with a red lily note.

You start things off with a sparkling pear note, creating a similar effect to the citrus found in GG. Tonka bean instead of pure vanilla, but it can come across as smelling the same. Combined with a similar base and it produces a scent that is in the same ballpark. This and Olympea Intense are more heavily weighted toward the amber note, with vanilla, and a saltiness. Sweet, salty, warm, and floral. Actually, I’m a bit reminded of their Boss Bottled No.6 for Men, due to that apple and cinnamon. Obviously, not the same, but I can certainly detect the similarities. What amazes me is that with all the money that these perfumes cost, Kilian continues to refuse to hire a decent writer!Nice performance and probably smells a bit better, in my opinion versus the Carolina Herrera.
