Good Girl Légère

This is one of the best offerings at Ulta (in-store). I've spent a lot of time, on multiple occasions sampling their perfume section. And I would say there's only maybe 6 (feminine) perfumes there worth buying (according to my tastes), being: Ariana's Cloud 2.0, La Belle, Burberry Her Elixir, Black Opium Extreme, Billie Eilish #2 (#1 is a nice fragrance but have no lasting power on me), and possibly Armani Code for her too... There are some other brands available online that I own some faves from (namely Ellis Brooklyn and Lake & Skye). This is my favorite out of the Good Girl line though and probably the only one I really need to own, since I'm not huge on many Designer fragrances. I want my fragrances to have a little something different or unique or just plain yummy lol... I love the lactonic quality in this perfume. It is a warm sweet floral gourmand. I am usually not crazy about citrus notes on their own, but this doesn't come off as citrus-forward. The citruses are more to give it a certain brightness and counterbalances all of the creamy warmth & sweetness in the base and, and it works really well here. This is non-offensive and may be seen as a little "deeper" - for a designer frag**, but I wouldn't call it dark or deep. I could see wearing this on just about any occasion, probably wouldn't reach for it on super hot days though when i prefer to wear something more musky or fresh. Great for date nights, but I would also wear to work because the projection is just right IMO. You just be smellin like a SNACK 😋 I bought the 2.7 FL OZ version (brand new) for $60 on Mercari. I wouldn't pay even near what Ulta is charging for it. Happy to have it.

I took the risk and blind bought it because I was really curious about the notes, even though I don ́t own the og (or any of the previous flankers for the matter) and I wasn ́t really sure of what I was gonna get. I ́ve tried some Carolina Herrera ́s fragances in the past and wasn ́t impressed with the quality so I was a bit ecceptic. Needless to say I was wrong on this one! The opening is SHARP, I ́d say almost masculine, maybe it ́s the Ylang-Ylang. But then you quickly get the white flowers notes, and the dry down is to die for. I disagree with dulce de leche being the most prominent, on my skin, I get tonka bean the most. I also don ́t find it that sweet. Either way, it ́s a complex, well pull together fragance. A compliment getter for sure. In my opinion, suitable for different ages and versatile enough to wear it all year around, even summer evenings since I don ́t find it heavy. It ́s special and sexy to wear it on a first date but friendly and safe even for work. The longevity is great, and the sillage moderate, but I don ́t mind. I HIGHLY suggest you to try it, even if you ́re not familiar with the previous Good girl like me. However, I ́m not sure if they ́re similar enough and if it ́s worthy having both if you already own the original. Will definitely re purchase! ♡

Upon first testing: The opening notes I get a delicious caramel-like scent with some hints of chocolate. I personally don't get the citrusy notes at all actually. The dry down is quite similar to what the original good girl smells like. It feels like a sweeter version of the original good girl, and is also very gourmand. It is creamy and sweet, yet slightly dark and quite classy. Personally, I have more of a preference to sweet, fruity scents, but this is a good break from my usual type of scent. I don't always feel like wearing something so sweet and fruity, I think this would be a good change from my usual. It's sweet while not being too overwhelming. Overall, I love this. So far I've only spray tested once, to test for longevity and silage, but I think this will join my regular rotation of perfumes. It's a pity that it's gonna be discontinued. Edit: now that I've used it a couple of times, I can get the citrus notes in the beginning. It still smells good, and the citrus isn't overwhelming and it feels kinda fresh and sweet. The dry down is still that delicious muted creamy caramel/vanilla smell. The longevity is great, lasted me a full 12 hours, however the silage is terrible on me, can only smell it when I bring my wrist up to my nose.

I find the Légère to be a softer, airier interpretation of the original Good Girl. The almond and coffee in the top notes have been replaced by orange and ylang-ylang, so it’s fruitier and more floral in the opening. The floral notes also play a bigger role in the heart of this composition. In the original, they were kind of a supporting role; in this one they are running the show. I’d say I’m smelling more jasmine and tuberose (plus that original ylang-ylang) than the rose or orange blossom. The cacao and vanilla in the original’s base have been swapped out for a really nice dulce de leche accord, but there are still a good bit of other gourmand notes in the mix (cinnamon, tonka bean, praline). There is also quite a pronounced amount of sandalwood. The patchouli and cedar give it a slight green-clean quality. Both fragrances are sexy and ultra-feminine, but this is light and fresh where the original is thick and sultry. Overall, the Légère has the Good Girl DNA with just enough of its own personality to justify my keeping both! LOL

This is honestly the sexiest perfume I’ve ever worn. The dulce de leche note is amazing, it’s sweet, but not in that overly sugary, edible way. It’s mature, rich, and just perfectly balanced. I can definitely pick up the praline in there too, and it blends so well with the cinnamon and florals, adding warmth and depth. The whole scent has this multi-dimensional vibe that evolves as you wear it, which I love. The ylang-ylang stands out for me, and is sort of tying everything together, both with the floral notes and those deeper base notes. And the citrusy opening kind of reminds me of a sweet treat with candied citrus zest. It gives the perfume a fresh, playful start before it deepens, which is exactly why it smells not overly gourmand or edible, yet very seductive. I’m seriously bummed that this fragrance got discontinued. It is the first sweet perfume I ever liked because it isn’t just sugar, it has depth and sophistication. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle, it’s totally worth it
