Good Girl Gold Fantasy

I picked this up at Ulta today. I love the gold bottle! This opens more spicy than its predecesors, but that is fleeting. The coffee and almond I can taste in the back of my tongue. This part reminds me of one of those YSL Libres, but that also fades away. To my nose this is much more smooth and not so sweet. All that Patchouli and Praline is gone thank goodness. In the end I get smooth bright tonka and ends like a brighter lighter Angelique Noir. I do have very weird chemistry so pardone moi if you end up with a different smell on skin. 6 hours later still going strong and the Jasmine has poked her head back out, like night blooming jasmine at night.

It's a collector's edition, but to my nose it's almost the same as the traditional Good Girl. I found the tonka bean more evident here, I didn't feel the coffee note as much. But I found it well balanced, a wonderful bomb that projects well. What delicious vanilla!

this one is a little different to the original good girl in the dry down i love them both

This is definitely not the OG repackaged. It lacks the complexity of OG, most noticeably the subtle citrus that gives it some lift. Personally I really appreciate this because it leaves out the synthetic vanilla note that immediately goes bad on my skin. Is it FB worthy? Probably not, but I’ll definitely enjoy my sample, which is more than I can say for the original. I think my circumstance is rare and unless you have this problem with vanilla in some but not all scents, you’re better off with the original. They are definitely very similar.

I find this to be a lighter brighter version of the original! I actually don’t pick up the added notes much. It’s definitely not identical but very similar. It’s a great fragrance especially in the cooler months! However, I feel like if you have the original, this isn’t all that different that you will need both in your collection unless you really enjoy the added notes and can detect them better than my nose can.
