Good Girl Gone Bad By Kilian for women

i never understood the “this smells like hairspray” comments on this site untill the day i first ever sprayed GGGB decant on me. My co-workers absolutely hated this, they said its suffocating and too heavy. First impression: not a crowd pleaser. Yet i loved it on me, smells very similar to one of the hairsprays of mine, but i like it too, definetly unique, kinda niche, good performance. So far i liked it but i need a good deal to buy a full bottle.

Perfectly named! It smells like a floral hand cream your grandma pulls out of her purse, with the very slight odor of cigarettes in the background, because, after all, it is from Gram's purse.

I've had a sample of this fragrance sitting around for over a year, and initially, I didn't think much of it. It seemed like just another fruity, feminine blend. However, upon revisiting it recently, I was pleasantly surprised. It's transformed into a beautifully refined and alluring fruity scent! There's a sensual and womanly quality to the florals that I find captivating, making it perfect for a seductive date night scent—it's been lingering in my mind ever since! It boasts great longevity and leaves a more lasting impression than you might expect. I've decided to reserve it for special occasions!

The perfumer is Alberto Morillas.
But this collection’s mentor of Kilian Hennessy was Jacques Cavallier, Kilian said in his interview before. ( cavallier became perfumer of Louis Vuitton January 2nd 2012 )

I love orange blossom and Osmanthus. But in this Jasmine, tuberose and narcissus those notes I am not good at are more dominant than notes I like.
What I felt about is all flowers are fighting against each other.

How much the perfume costs ( 50ml/250€ ), how the perfumers are great, how famous the perfume is, I tested this scent and I didn’t feel anything special sadly.

First of all: it's not a crowd pleasing fragrance despite the fact that it gets so many great reviews online. I will say this is a type of fragrance you would wanna wear for yourself, it's quite introverted.
I smell there mostly jasmine and peaches. Peaches are not gourmande or realistic, it's a very chemical peach, typical for perfume industry. Jasmine is not animalistic, it smells like cigarette butt in this perfume. We'd already seen similar jasmine in Jasmine et Cigarette by Etat Libre d'Orange 6 years before Good girl Gone bad came out.

Overall it's okay, but nothing outstanding. It's not longlasting and sits close to the skin. Never in a million years I would agree to pay full price for this fragrance.

this is so chemically clean/detergenty it loses me at the screechy opening everytime; the population who enjoy this and wanna smell like this genuinely need to be studied 😭 its giving nothing more than a combination of basic aldehydic floral chemical shampoo/laundry etc…not bad girl in the slightest more like clean grandma who mistook vodka for water

I sprayed almost every single Kilian perfume today, and out of all of them, this and sunkissed goddess were the only ones that I liked. This is a very floral fragrance, pretty white floral bouquet with peachy undertones. It’s a very classy type of scent , i could see it being worn by someone really put together. I’d buy it, if it weren’t so pricy. I would be happy with it as a gift, but at almost $300 I can’t justify buying it for myself.

To my nose this smells like a BOOZY bouquet of flowers (and no my bottle isn't bad, it smells the same as the tester in store). The imagery this perfume paints in my head is: getting drunk in a flower garden. Not sure which note(s) turn me off exactly but this one is just not appealing to me at all. I've tried to like this one so bad but I just can't. It's definitely a very NICHE perfume for the person who wants to smell like an alcoholic florist.

My favorite fragrance and it brings back my memories from Venice, Italy, where I used the fragrance.. It is the most beautifully dressed osmanthus I've ever smelled! I understand that because of tuberose it may be grandma-like to some, but to me, it's just peachy, fresh, with a bit woody and creamy undertone. And its freshness lasts for whole day! It's fantastic with white outfit, smells like a luxurious, peachy and creamy shampoo. LOVE IT.

Lasts long on me but its giving grandma 😭😔
Too heavy on the florals. I can't stand it

Very very sweet, almost like cotton candy in liquid form.

This is a nice fragrance, airy that initially feels flowery but turns sweeter on the skin after a while

Projection is poor though and so is longevity... Not worth the price tag

As someone who is a huge fan of fruity floral scents, I’m surprised I wasn’t blown away by this one. I think the amber note might be what’s throwing me off: Without it, it would have just reminded me of sweet candy or bubble gum, but because of it, I am reminded of a melted candy on a hot summer day on the concrete next to a gas station… Would never pay for this especially considering the price point

Okay, so it’s not the jaw-dropping, knock you on your butt experience you’re going to get from Angels Share. This is much more subtle. But I’ve been wearing this all day and I’m really pleased with it. Maybe it’s a little expensive for what it is, but this is a really beautiful floral that doesn’t feel too mature or too juvenile.

I find Osmanthus to be a really nice floral for people who don’t like florals. It’s a little creamier than most flowers used in perfumery. Not as cloying. I smell that most in the dry down. At first, Good Girl Gone Bad is a bit sharp and even a little green. But I’m really enjoying it. Very wearable for almost any occasion in my opinion. But then again, I’m also of the opinion that it’s okay to wear what you want regardless of season or time of day.

Long story short, I like this a lot.

Smells a LOT like Adele from gritti (which I already own so this is redundant). Very buttery, white and yellow florals. Must love florals to like this in my opinion. Super appropriate for spring, potentially summer when it’s cooler but that’s about it in terms of occasions for me. I’ve tried a few Kilian fragrances now and I’m not impressed. I’m not sure why this house is so hyped and the pricing is crazy for what it is. Just get Adele, which you can get significantly cheaper (especially on the discount retailers). GGGB may be ever so slightly better in performance but not enough to justify the price difference.

Edit: This shares 6 out of the 7 notes with Adele, the only difference is amber vs. ambergris ... Do yourself a favour and get Adele, so much more affordable and smells the same.

There's a strong waxy and synthetic undertone to this that's reminding me of "new car smell." I'm shocked at the hype around this brand...I don't even have much to say about how boring this is. And it's barely performing, too. I didn't enjoy "Love" but that at least has a bit of sillage going for it. This girl isn't going anywhere.

smell for me is 6.5/10 at most, but considering price tag I'll go for 6/10

Such an empowering, feminine and elegant scent. Love the longevity of this!

i'm so torn on this I like it but the opening makes me wanna kms for spending sm money on this.
in the opening I get a screechy lemon that smells like cleaner and I don't know where it's from, fortunately it fades away and it settles to a beautiful girly floral. for me once the glass cleaner note settles this smells like the hot senior sorority girl who wears Van Cleef to the frats.

definitely not a bad girl but hot girl at the club who's a little too drunk

You know how before a big night out, a first date, or sometimes just to feel pretty, you get in the shower and deep clean and condition your hair, buff and shave every part of you, and just generally spend a significant chunk of time getting spiffy and clean, and feel so free and bright and new when you're all dry and ready? This perfume is like the perfect end cap to that event, and the perfect expression of that fresh clean feeling. It's just bright peach and white flowers. Feminine, and clean smelling. It's not basic per se, but for me, it's what I wear when I want to feel fresh, basic, and not necessarily "stand out". To me it's mostly just good girl, there's nothing particularly unique or bad about it, but that scent can definitely have its place on your shelf.

This one is truly for the floral lovers, and one of my all time favorites. Utterly feminine, clean but not without complexity, and effortlessly sexy. It pulls a lot of compliments for me, as does LDBS, though they're very different. To me it smells the way getting a fresh blow out feels. This also wears for ages, and the type of scent I can still smell it on my coat the following day. Again, if you're a floral lover, this is a dream and I'd encourage you to try it on. If you are not, this one is probably going to be a pass for you.

As someone who has been highly uninterested in florals (I’m all about woods and musk) it means a lot when I tell you this stopped me in my tracks! I had written off Kilian fragrances since the few I had smelled were so intensely sweet, but I gave this one a smell anyway. I’m a fan of lily IRL and that’s what made me pick up the bottle-
It’s cool, clean, white florals with such a softly blended effect! I can’t get enough of it. Ordered a bottle after just a few hours of wearing it on my wrist. Can’t say much for its projection or longevity yet. I’ll update after more wears.

Dreamy, pleasant and feminine. Not a loud or overcomplicated niche while extremely elegant and comfortable to wear.

Pretty, feminine, fruity floral (more fruits than floral to my nose) perfume that to me is all "good girl" and nothing "bad girl".. It's pleasant, and other than making me stuffed up for the first 15 minutes, I'd call it relatively inoffensive. Nice, but I don't find it unique, ground-breaking or anything that remotely justifies the price. If I was gifted a bottle I'd gladly wear it, but there's no way I would ever consider paying anything near the retail price as I think there's plenty of perfumes with similar scent profiles that can be found for MUCH less.

She’s a maneater, a ladykiller, whatever she wants to be, she is. She’s bold, sophisticated, ambitious, and beautiful. Luxurious. Baccarat wishes it could be this it girl. She doesn’t demand attention, people’s eyes just gravitate towards her naturally. It’s just a talent. Super sexy but not trying to be. This perfume is effortless and yet is so well rounded. She’s the mysterious girl in the corner, once you see her- you won’t take your eyes off of her. She’s a siren.

Doesn’t smell luxurious or enveloping to my nose. Instead, this strikes me as extremely well-executed laundry detergent. So it’s fine, but not good enough, if you get what I mean.

Kilian GGGB is okay but not special. It makes me think of something white, sparkling like gold flakes, pearls, pure gold jewelry... However, Kilian GGGB is still quite a difficult scent for many people, be sure to try it first.

Rating: 7/10. The price is too expensive, and I think the Osmanthus flower combined with the Tuberose is not very compatible

Woah.. this one is not for the faint hearted!!!

If you are a true florals person this may appeal, but on my skin it was an absolutely overwhelming (to the point of almost 'punch in the face') scrub! Instant migraine territory!!!

This does rate well so it may just be me, but DEFINITELY NOT a safe blind buy!!!

Overall I get more fruitiness from this fragrance than florals—the osmanthus coming out with sunny nectarine notes and the jasmine with its subtle orangey tones. That fruitiness melds together with a very neutral, gem-toned amber that feels like it bled, clear and glistening, from a fruit tree in some sunny orchard.

The heart notes add a soft, creamy, floral greenness. Even the tuberose, which so often dominates, is a subtle team player here.

It smells like June in a small nectarine orchard. The trees are crowded with blossoms and early fruit, and a faint breeze freshens the air. One of the trees' lower branches has broken at the trunk, wrenched downward at an unpleasant angle, nearly detached. You take the clippers to it, brisk and effective, and the smell of blossoms and fruit is joined by the tangy, vital scent of sap, bark, and disrupted leaves. You're not worried. The tree will recover easily, and there will be ample fruit for the bowl on the table.

Based on the opening I thought it was going to be scrubber, but once it settled it transformed into a light skin scent. A bit sour, a little powdery, & pretty unremarkable... Which is a shame since the name really had potential for a badass perfume.

Truly grotesque. I didn’t realize a floral could be cloying but this somehow managed! Like a bouquet of rotting flowers trapped in a car on a hot summers day 🥰

Something about this makes me feel woozy, I'd probably go nuts if I smelled this on a woman. It is a powdery sweet floral; I can see how some think it may smell generic, but to me it doesn't, when I first sprayed this I could not keep my nose out of it. Its insanely sexy, makes me think of boudoir photography

OMG this brings me back to grade school when my Mom would write sick notes to my school on scented paper. The paper was from Charles of the Ritz. This may be a "new" fragrance but it brought me right back to grade school when Charles of the Ritz, Enjoli and Charlie were very popular. This is very nostalgic of the 70s/80s.

Nothing about it really makes me think, "Yeah, I would like to buy this." The name is not fitting at all: this doesn't smell like a "bad bitch" perfume at all.

SOTD Good Girl Gone Bad by Kilian Paris 2/5

First spray is floral and generic floral smelling. It does not smell super pleasant to my nose. None of the floral notes stick out in particular. Smells a bit powdery. It’s almost like a haunting scent to me since I’ll smell it strongly for a second and then it goes back to being a skin scent. Spouse says it reminds him of a swim club.

Reviewed is based on a purchased Narcotics Mini Discovery 1.5mL. Wore at home.

I have to agree with others - sweet and floral, no edge. I see it as nothing special and very generic.

I got a sample set for Killian and enjoyed all the popular scents; Love Don't Be shy and Angel's Share ect but this was really a captivating scent that I wasn't expecting. I can see why people might find it old fashioned, soapy and generic but it's has an air of sophistication and subtlety that comes off as very classy and expensive. Really enjoyed it. Would love to have a full bottle.

I’ve had a sample for over a year and didn’t think much of this at first - just another fruity feminine concoction. But I revisited recently and it’s actually a beautifully refined, sexy fruity scent! There’s something sensual and womanly about the florals, and I think it makes a seductive date night scent because I can’t get it out of my head! Great longevity and makes more of an impression than you think. Keeping it for special occasions!

Initially, it smelled fresh, floral, and green. Eventually it turned more green and woody on my skin. I liked it, but not enough to buy it.

Two words: unlisted aldehydes 😭🤢

I have a nose for them at this point. If they're in a perfume I'll be able to tell a mile off, because they make me feel sick. I'm guessing they're in there to imitate Narcissus and Jasmine, even though they don't smell anything like that in real life. The effect is more like metallic, stagnant water.

The aldehydes never go away but there's a dirty tobacco in the drydown that makes an appearance at some point, to make the whole thing worse.

The osmanthus is the only nice thing about this scent, but it's cloaked by all the other nasties.

In a way the name is apt for this one! It definitely smells as if it has gone bad, in the sense that it has gone off.

I have a love/hate relationship with this fragrance. The first time I ever smelled a sample, I was completely floored. I pick up on the peachy Osmanthus in the opening and there is something irresistible about it. I have since sampled a TON of osmanthus fragrances. I ended my osmanthus sampling journey with Sunshine Woman by Amouage and purchased a full bottle of that - which has kept me from buying Good Girl Gone Bad. Now, when I revisit this sample, I sometimes get a faint dill pickle smell. So strange! Then other times, I only get that beautiful peachy floral. I just can’t decide. This one plays games with my nose.

I was looking for tuberose and this smells like a flower left in a vase for a couple of weeks. The flower and stagnant water. Indole in other words. Actually lily and water flowers tend to have a similar smell.
So to me it's more (a flower/ milky stagnant water) than tuberose. More like (a flower/ milky stagnant water) on a milky tuberose bed. But the tuberose here is slowly choking and triggering a headache.

This scent has something similar to a cigarette pack when you first open it.

I don't like it. Neither on myself, not on somebody else.
It doesn't smell pleasant and it smells much (!!!!!) cheaper than it's actual price.

I have a big perfume collection and I’ve been trying to swap fragrances. I have this one, has been sprayed once anyone wanna SWAP?

The opening of GGGB smells like straight up bug spray meets soap bar. It's initially quite screechy with sharp floral accords that soften down to something a little more powdery at the twenty minute wear mark.
After that, it lazily rests an inch above the skin as a light, whipped laundry scent that is more pleasant... but why bother?

I'm not really into the whole 'make your skin smell like clean clothes' frag genre, but if you want your clothes to smell like fresh floral coziness I'd recommend Lazy Sunday Mornings by Maison Martin Margiela over this any day.

It's sweet fruity floral, it's loud and manages to smell cheap. Cedar doesn't help.
Flashback to 90ies loud fuit florals. Solid no from me.

tmonique11's review paints what this perfume comes off as perfectly.

it's a pretty, cool white floral scent with some amber and a hint of spiciness.
there's an afterscent of cedar and tobacco (coming from the narcissus, i presume).
i do think the name is a bit cringeworthy, but it does work with its intended theming.
it's overall elegant, classy and feminine; i actually like this more than other kilian's fragrances.
i don't think it could do well as an everyday scent, unless you're a bad bitch in a big city that goes out nightly.
great for (formal) events, however.

This is a very "pretty girl" scent with a little edge. For me, it evokes the image of a beautiful young woman who is dating an Edward Cullen type guy. They're in a Parisienne bar and she's draped his leather jacket over her and it smells of cigarette smoke. The narcissus gives off the tobacco scent to me pretty noticeably at first spray. It's dies down after a few minutes and I'm left with sweets and jasmine. My travel size bottle has been sitting for almost a year. Maybe time did it some justice bc I didn't care for it at all in the beginning. It's really pleasing now.

Much prefer this on my skin in the cooler weathers rather than the warmer (not that it smells bad in the warmer weather. I just like the way it performs better in the cold)
To be honest, there is nothing that I dislike with good girl, gone bad other than the ridiculous name!! (well it’s ridiculous for this fragrance anyway) this is a playful, but at the same time, keeping it classy, feminine fragrance I wouldn’t say this is a clean fragrance But it’s pretty and could easily be a signature scent .

Longevity: right, so I believe this has been changed somewhere along the line as this used to last on my skin about six hours, however since I bought a new bottle, the new one doesn’t perform like the old one did, I would say the New bottle lasts around about four hours at a push.

projection: I think projection is moderate, it’s not intimate, but it doesn’t fill the room

Worth the price tag?: Absolutely in my opinion, 100% yes!

Fruity, apricoty Osmanthus right up front, feeling flowery and feminine. There’s something else, though… a whisper of something animalic and almost dirty in the dry down. I don’t know if it’s the tuberose or the cedar, but it provides the perfect balance to the sweetie pie surface. Good girl gone bad indeed. This is one of those scents you keep wanting one more sniff of. Very wearable and approachable but not too simple.

I wonder if they changed the formula as it doesn't smell like Good Girl Gone Bad I remember from the past. Something is missing, it was creamier, more luminous, it smelled just gorgeous, lush, intoxicating and beautiful and now... Just a shadow of the former self. Maybe that's just a spoiled bottle...
Update: Yes, it was only an overheated bottle. Still the same luminous, creamy florals.

Definitely a very sweet fragrance, but not gourmand at all; entirely floral-sweet, almost like honeydew or honeysuckle. Earthy, warm, naturalistic quality. Refreshing but not in a "clean" ozonic way. Girly, moderately long lasting. A good spring scent, slightly cloying for hot summer days. It's decent, but I wouldn't purchase a full bottle of this.

She's a girls girl, loves to be liked, hangs out with her friends alot, she doesn't swear and is always smiling ... she is not me....
pass me the black phantom "moemento mori" thats me.

Long story short: I got rid of this fragrance. The initial spray deceived me into thinking I would like what was to come. After 5 mins it suffocates me. I tried really hard to be friends with this fragrance, macerated it, tried it in different weather. I guess it’s just not my jam. I smell what to me is a sharp liquorice with lots of strong greenery. The tuberose here is untamed, I guess that’s the whole concept of the “good girl gone bad” = tuberose got naughty. Too naughty for me.

This one is a hard pass for me..I couldn't put my finger on what smell it reminded me of but reading a comment bellow solved that mistery for me - Hairspray it smells like pure hairspray, chemical and harsh..

The initial 15 minutes strongly smelled like generic body spray from the 90s. Everything after that was a huge bouquet of mixed flowers, with an undertone of freshly scrubbed metal.

I swear I can see flashes of white and green in my mind’s eye with this scent. I picture that room in the Great Gatsby filled with flowers. I find it very classically feminine and almost strangely unfamiliar to modern taste. Beautiful in its own way!

I first tested this about a year ago in hot and humid island weather and I HATED it! I thought it smelled like an old lady? Newspapers? Something terrible. Today I got a sample with my purchase of LDBS and it’s delightful. My husband said that I smelled like a fresh cucumber that he wants to squeeze all the seeds out of (his word, not mine). I’ll continue trying this out because I can see how it can switch back to being terrible.

Received a sample. Very pleasant and beautiful fragrance... there is something very comforting about this, nostalgic almost …. Its very feminine and pretty.

Agree with others that the title is misleading. This opens and closes as a feminine, optimistic, comforting, good girl scent. Disagree that this is an old lady fragrance; I would recommend this for women in their 30’s-40’s. Despite the contraindication of the title, this transitions beautifully between a floral, daytime heart and a warm, comfy base by evening. The dry down is worth the wait.
Taking a very strong whiff close to the skin in the opening makes me nauseous in a way reviewers described in the GGGB Extreme. That doesn’t mean that I found it unpleasant; it’s an automatic response and I still enjoy this at arms length.
I applied this in the evening and scrubbed my skin in the morning before work. I could still smell the delicious base after 12 hours.
Is it good? Yes! Is it $300+ good? No shot! Won’t be finishing my sample or purchasing this for myself, but I still enjoyed reviewing it.

The initial spray had me confused. After some time the scent became really good, white floral. It felt like I was rolling in clouds. It doesnt last long on skin than on clothes. When I found out where perfume lasts more on skin I found the dry down to smell similar with soap, not what I was expecting. It put me off buying a bottle.

It’s ok but sort of boring. Overpriced and the name is misleading.

To be honest I was more tempted by the name than the perfume scent itself. Don't you get me wrong, it was still an adoring scent, yet leaning towards the “good” side of a girl rather than the “bad”/ sexy one - for that, I would say that the name does create a false impression. If you're a fan of white floral and feminine perfume, you will enjoy this one. To me, this lacks depth and the mystery that the name may have portrayed it to be.

Good Girl Gone Bad by By Kilian carries the familiar scent of hairdresser products, mingled with the sweet notes reminiscent of milkshakes. This combination evokes memories of leisurely afternoons spent shopping and enjoying some casual gossip. Good Girl Gone Bad embodies the spirit of indulging in superficial pleasures from time to time. It's a fragrance that invites you to relish those carefree moments, adding a touch of playfulness to your day.

How could this have any negative reviews? It's Just amazing

Not a fan. Thankfully it was a deluxe tester size. I love Killian fragrances and up until I met this one would have blind bought due to my prior experiences with the brand. It’s not bad, and it’s interesting but on me I think it smells old and musty. The white floral is too…white floral for me. I don’t know how to say it. It’s fine and as another reviewer said inoffensive…but nothing I would add to my personal collection no matter the price point. However I can see how someone with a different chemistry could use this as their signature. I can’t say it smells of anything else I know of.

EDIT: 5 hours later. Damn it. I will eat my words. Wow the dry down surprised me. This is lovely and light and warm. I was wrong. It developed into a gorgeous very wearable perfume I would be lucky to own.

I sampled a brand new bottle and whoa Nelly, it was pure pepper. Like one notch below pepper spray. I could taste it for about an hour afterwards. Once it mellowed down it was inoffensive yet surprisingly bland sort of sour floral. It smelled old as in “musty locked closet where something was sprayed years ago and then forgotten.” Killian is great at making fragrances that smell like some other smell was once there but left only a weird, somewhat off-putting ghost behind. Lovely, gorgeous bottle though. What a shame.

I like this fragnance on my wife so much!!!
It's clean floral and feminine.
It's not so long lasting maybe aroud 5-6h but the sillage it's not bad.I fell it maybe 4-5m after her.
For me this smells like very beautiful lady with soft skin and elegant dress.

Beautiful floral musk. Very long lasting and deceptively strong. Sophisticated, feminine but understated. That’s not to say it’s weak, I over sprayed and regretted it. Beautiful osmanthus start, which unfortunately doesn’t stick around, but the rose and jasmine do, with some other more exotic florals I can’t put my finger on. A little powdery, musky and mature - but not too mature that a put-together young woman would feel aged. It’s not the floral combo for me, but it would make a stellar signature scent for the right woman.

I’m shocked by all the negative reviews. This is the sexiest perfume I own. Blends so well with my skin chemistry and lasts ALL day. I bought the travel spray to try out and used it up so quickly. Didn’t think much of it at first. Just thought it was pretty but the more I wore it, the more I started getting compliments and questions about it, especially in hot weather. Perfumes a lot of people rave about on the internet, have not worked for me unfortunately. I smell them on others and they smell fantastic. Ex: Burberry Her, Burberry Her Intense, Love Don’t Be Shy, Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia, Pink Sugar, etc. But I find certain perfumes like this one, VLJ Bowdacious and JHAG Sunny side up, for example, that aren’t talked about much and they just work so well for me. I say all of this to say that if you find that a lot popular perfumes are working for you, try branching out and trying out the less talked about ones. Those might be the ones that work for your skin chemistry. You may love how a perfume smells but does it love you back? That’s how I decide if I will be purchasing a perfume. Unless it’s a blind buy Ofcourse. Lol

Pure hairspray to me. Bummed but I have to dislike something from Kilian eventually lol.

Tried this as a sampler; not blown away.

It’s a generic white floral, which I resprayed partway during the working day and which still disappeared by 3pm.

Inoffensive and hopefully performs better on others, but it’s a miss for me.

Meh. I smell white florals. Nothing exciting but also nothing offensive. The first spray is kind of rough (maybe the osmanthus?) and the dry down is nicer, but it just isn’t anything to spend big money on.

ETA:
I got another little tester and my opinion is unchanged, it’s just white florals without much else to spice it up. All Good Girl, nothing Bad. If you want to smell like a store bought flower bouquet then this should be just right.

Love at first sniff! This was my wedding scent, it’s the most perfectly blended soft, pretty floral scent, without being over the top floral. It’s not overly sweet but definitely more feminine. Yes it’s expensive but I totally think it’s worth it for a special occasion. Makes me feel super pretty and confident when I wear this.

I fell in love with first sniff with this (haven't tried the Extreme flanker yet!) but is it only me thinking that the longevity is super short and there is almost no sillage? With such a high price tag, I had expected enormous longevity or sillage (at least one of them?). Did this only happen to me or maybe the Extreme flanker does better?

I'm not a florals person, so I appreciate how light and smooth the blend of florals are here.

It does smell like hairspray though, to me. I picture hugging a lady and her hair smelling of this - I wouldn't think "oh what fragrance is that" but rather "that hairspray has a nice scent". I wouldn't buy a full size personally, especially for the price, but it's inoffensive and could suit a lot of people.

I always hear tuberose described as ‘fluffy’ and ‘candy-like’ and it always smells like mature/old lady on my skin chemistry. Yet, this is… fluffy! After the shrieking osmanthus dries you get this nice approachable tuberose & apricot, fluffy cloud-like scent bubble happening. The amber and Jasmine give it depth and youth. Fragrance doesn’t match the name but I get it. It’s pleasant. I agree with the reviewer below that said this is a good fragrance to meet your partners parents lol.

1/3 of Mancera Velvet Vanilla for cloying bubblegummy tuberose, 1/3 of Amouage Guidance for apricoty osmanthus and 1/3 of alc. to dissolve it so nobody dies

This is great, I had Love don’t be shy and I liked it but this is better in my opinion. I think it would make a great signature fragrance. It’s floral and there is some amber. It’s not too strong but very long lasting on me. My chemistry seems to work with it. I’m kind of off of sweet fragrances.

This is one of the worst perfumes I have ever smelled, I am SHOCKED. It literally smells like bleach or toilet cleaner and makes me feel ill. Sooo glad I only bought a 1ml sample.

Pretty but very plain.

This is far from a good girl gone bad... more like a good girl gone to work her corporate job. There's nothing wrong with that - it's a clean, floral, inoffensive scent that is one of my work go-to's. Would also be a pretty scent with a white summer dress. Wear this to meet your in-laws.

I love tuberose, I love white florals, but this is a little too animalic and steamy for me. This fragrance turns a little sour on me throughout the day. While it is a modern take on a white floral, I prefer one that is more full bodied and creamy.

Nice but unfortunately the smell doesn't match the name. I would expect a real bitchy perfume.

This is a white floral that smells clean, and rich without being indolic or bubblegum-y. I get a lot of the creamy osmanthus and tuberose coming through, much less so of the rose and jasmine. This smells very classy and may work for those who find Princess and LDBS too sugary. Lasting power is decent.

I love the opening...omg it's so gorgeous, I stood there in amazement from the 1st blast! As I was standing there I started to have thoughts of a gorgeous woman, she was asking me how my day was but I was so blown away from her presence...THAT'S THIS FRAGRANCE!

Interesting, it's a floral dominant scent as expected but with a subtle sweet edge in the background. It's weird because it's soapy yet dirty at the same time. To an extent its like a scent representing someone that smells good naturally without a fragrance.

Personally wouldn't rock it, but I'd be pleased to smell it on another. Pretty pleasant imo.

Citrus & Rose notes with a full stop from some slight burnt rubber like fragrance.
It almost feel like the citrussy ,flowery ,Rose notes opens and then falls of from a cleft when that mild burnt rubber like smell hits.
Very unique experience.

Dear Fragrantica!
Is the pyramid correct here?
On the official website I can see Orange blossom & Gardenia mentioned - and this obviously makes much more sense, as the reviews about Gritti Adele being almost a complete copypasta are not fully true, the perfumes are not that much the same, seriously

I liked this one as a man, it smelled unisex to me. High-end freshie with rose and jasmine the main notes I’m getting

Animalic, intoxicating white floral scent. Best during warm weather.

No good girl, just gone bad. This has to be one of the worst fragrances I've ever smelled. Smells like straight GRASS. So green but in a bad way. It's so pungent it makes me cough uncontrollably, goes DEEP into your lungs, I had to scrub it off. I don't get any of the beautiful florals, it smells like flowers that have literally, gone bad. You know when your flowers sit out for too long and the vine turns brown? That's what this smells like but the bitterness and green is multiplied 100x. Maybe even smells like a strong chemical compound. Actually don't understand how people like, let alone LOVE this. If I smelled this on someone I would have to sit down because I can't stand it.

I find it fairly strong, a spray on one wrist lasts around 5 or 6 hours and I find the rose to be the most predominant note, by far. I really enjoy this fragrance and don't get any of the odd sour notes people mention. It almost has a slight effervescence in the opening, a bit like what you get with Delina's opening but GGGB smells far more of rose than Delina to my nose. Awesome how everyone's nose is different and how things smell on everyone's unique skin chemistry.

White florals and cedar and somehow very, very sour overall. It’s awful on me, which is sad because it has good longevity and silage… it’s been 4 hours and I can still smell it pretty heavily.

As always with Kilian, the perfume itself has a high quality feel to it, with multiple layers and complexity. However, it still feels familiar and boring. It’s soft and pleasant, but uncreative enough that I wouldn’t be able to easily pick it out amongst a group of other nice floral perfumes. The name is very unfitting.

This one baffled me. The floral and wood notes are drowned out by strange sour fruit. It becomes moderately pleasant in the dry down but thats all. It seriously smells like someone dumped a nice perfume into a full jug of bathroom cleaner.

A fragrance that start to smell somewhat acceptable on me only after a while. In the beginning I get a dissonant mix of some spiciness together with a sour fruity smell, it's not nice at all. Develops into a more pleasant mix of a light fruity-floral (and again I get something sour, like a blackcurrant), and an airy woody note. I don't really get any jasmine, rose or tuberose or at least they typical rendition of these flowers in other floral scents, which might be good if you think they're too much in general, whereas this fragrance sits closer to skin and is more low key.

White florals in amber. It's good scent but nothing special nor creative in the scent profile and performance. Low key boring, but pretty

This is such a completely different scent than what I usually go for that it’s making me nauseous catching whiffs of it as I type this. It has a somewhat vintage feel to it. It’s a sickly sweet bright floral, rose-y, jasmine-y, powdery, it has an ever so slight, subtle hint of spiciness, but not near enough to make this perfume even remotely interesting. I get zero amber or cedar from this.

Yes, it is feminine, but the kind of feminine that says “this is all I am, there’s no mystery”. Reminds me of something my grandma would wear, same vibe as Chanel n5.

It does have a fair amount of staying power (though I wish it didn’t). Silage is okay. Overall, I’m glad I only got the 7,5ml version of it, but that’s £40 I’ll never get back for a perfume I’ll never reach for again. Way too overpriced for something you can get from other brands at a fraction of the price.

I can barely smell this on my skin and clothes after spraying it multiple times. It could be that I’m nose blind, or it’s an incredibly weak and shortlasting fragrance. The little whiffs I can smell are just OK, but not very impressive. Something smells like an ashtray, but it disappears after a while. Thinking this is not worth the price, and after going through a whole lot of Kilian samples I think that Angels’ Share is the only one worth buying.

Pretty florals and tuberose, slightly spicy. Almost dryer sheet quality to it. It’s nice, but I don’t think it’s worth it for the price. I would rather get Black Phantom if I’m being honest.

6.5/10

I've got to stop spraying samples on my skin blindly bc now I've got a scent bubble of this and I smell like a tea shop.

It’s a subtle fragrance for those who don’t like strong fragrances. You might need to layer it to your skin chemistry soaks up fragrances. On my skin this lasted over 12 hours.

I tried it in store on paper and did not like it, but for a sample and sprayed it on myself and it’s actually very pretty. I don’t think I would buy it for the price it is, but it’s a pretty feminine and floral scent. Quite strong though it will probably give some others like myself headaches

"Good girl gone bad" smells to me like a bad version of Adele by Gritti Venetia. I like scents with notes of tuberose but this tuberose is really overwhelming. I couldn't also smell any peaches or apricots despite that osmanthus was supposed to give that note

I’m not sure why this gets compared to Mancera’s Wild Python, they do not smell the same. This is ok, but Mancera is white flower bomb very fresh. I can’t even smell this one when comparing to wild python. I like GGGB but for the price I’m not sure if I’ll get a full bottle.
GGGB is very smooth and soft baby powder with some florals.

I was really curious about this one but kept my expectations low. Well, I'm glad I did. There is some sourness, and I suspect osmanthus. The overall smell reminds of me potpourri bags with a harsh scent. Stays too close to the skin.

Not a full bottle and not even a travel-size bottle worthy. There are much better floral/white floral creations out there.

No disrespect, and I love LDBS from this house, but there is one note I would like to add to all Kilian fragrances I have tried...Overpriced.

For a tuberose perfume it feels light and safe. Is it good? Yes. It is not obnoxious, it doesn't smell vintage. It is a smooth white floral with some greenness.

generic and weak, 2 words is enough effort in balance of the effort needed to create that. All the stuff around is a scam to extort money

All I get is osmanthus, which I love. But this scent is a ghost. Blink, and you won't be sure you actually saw it. I drowned both wrists in it but scent was gone in 20 min. Literally. I’m renaming my bottle Good Scent Gone Bye-Bye.

I was curious to smell this fragrance with such a captivating name. The expectation I had was to find myself in front of a perfume with a great evolution, perhaps with two opposing faces.
Unfortunately I was disappointed and I felt a light floral, dominated by osmanthus and pink, static, I honestly didn't expect from this maison.
A perfume for a young girl, unpretentious, with a truly ephemeral duration, unfortunately.

It’s just green and tropical tuberose; nothing more nothing less. It’s too boring for a fragrance at this price point..

I absolutely love this fragrance! I almost didn't try it, due to the negative reviews. And to be honest, when I got my sample, I wasn't sure I liked it. I've actually had a hard time liking several of Kilian's fragrances. Love Don't be Shy was a "nope," as was Rolling in Love. I have a lot of samples, actually, so this one went by the wayside for a couple of weeks. But when I came back to it, I was absolutely addicted. I could NOT stop smelling it and used up the whole sample within a few weeks. Whenever that happens, I know I love it. That tuberose just has me totally enraptured. I lived in Asia 4 1/2 years between the ages of 10 and 14, and I think that's what this brings back to me. The smooth elements in this and Prada Candy just imprison me.

But what I don't love is the price. No way under heaven given among men am I spending that kind of money on a fragrance.

I've only had a sample of this, and I didn't have an issue at all with longevity, projection or sillage, but based on the price and others saying they regret buying a full bottle, I don't think I'll consider a full bottle.

So, for now, I'm using a dupe and only buying TRAVEL sizes of the original GGGB from sellers who offer decanters of it. Julianna's Rebellious was too screechy as a dupe, but I got Oakchana's Almost Nude off Mercari for $24. WOW. I sprayed it last night after a shower around 9 p.m. It's now nearly 6 a.m. and I'm still smelling it. There is a bit more of a nectar element in the original that I wish was also in AN, so I ground it with a spray of Ariana Grande Cloud first, to give it more richness, but it's a dead-on ringer for the fragrance itself and LASTS. I saw a couple of YouTube reviews on the dupe before I bought it, and I have to say that I'm impressed.

A pleasant fruity floral which is more good girl than gone bad. I get strong osmanthus which gives me posh shampoo vibes. Not something I enjoy wearing personally, its okay but nothing special and not worth the price. Projection is low and it disappears after 2 hours. Won't miss it when I finish my sample.

This smells like hair dye.

I'm very underwhelmed. This is extremely generic. It is exactly what Fragrantica has classified it as, a "fruity floral" and nothing more, nothing less. It's safe, boring and the opposite of It's named because there is nothing badass about this. Yawn.

As a person who does not enjoy tuberose, and tends to find the white florals a bit decadent and nauseating, I was very impressed by this Kilian masterpiece. This fragrance does not remind me of indolic, overly saturated white florals, but instead radiates delicacy and softness for me. I do find the fragrance on the sweeter side, which I attribute to amber accords. I enjoy the cozy and unique notes of narcissus and the exotic aspect of the tuberose opening. Overall, it's a beautiful piece of art, with a great floral opening and delicate drydown.

Don’t know how to feel about this one. Decided to give it a try and was, safe to say, disappointed. The longevity is 2 hours max and I’m not even gonna talk about sillage. And to top it off, the smell reminds me of a one particular mosquito repellent, perfect for summer then I guess.. The bottle is pretty tho, that’s probably the only good thing about this fragrance.

This entire line is weak

I will add to the chorus of reviewers — this scent is very weak. Lovely while it lasts but won’t buy a full bottle.

Overpriced perfume for no reason !
I can’t understand the price for this perfume
It’s like a tropical trident ! If you have ate this gum is actually the same smell
It’s very tropical and that it you don’t get anything else
And it’s not strong

Idk what might happen to the original GGGB, nowadays, it’s weak, light and extremely subtle, to the extent that undetectable. I sprayed it on my wrists and smelled nothing!

Exactly like the previous reviewer said, can't really smell this. Like it A LOT for the first few minutes and then it disappears. A very weak skin scent.

Well, I only wish I COULD review this. It basically evaporated on me in, like, five minutes. I swear I cannot detect anything now! (Applied this morning, it is now lunchtime and I have been at my desk in the "home office" all morning).

I wasn't keen on this, on initial application, anyway. Just generic, basic, blah. Kinda floral, kinda sweet, kinda girly, kinda nothing much really.

She’s a Good Girl… awaiting to Go Bad. The opening is delicious, the osmanthus is known to give an apricot/peachy smell many have described here.
However it lacks of depth. The dry-down is ok, unfortunately the longevity is weak, and I really wanted to experience what happens after the “Good Girl” (clean floral opening), hoping the dry-down to turn into “Gone Bad”.

Overall it’s sweet, lovely, sexy, expensive and clean. Perfect for a chic summer night out in an upscale setting.

6/10

Nice fragance but not memorable.
It starts off rather fruity and floral. I smelled passion fruit and peach accords for the first 2 hours - from the top notes- the flowers. After that it stayed the same, i find this scent a bit dull..
Furthermore, on the second dry down i didn't get the base notes at all.
Lastly, i think it's overpriced for what it is.

The aroma is delicate, pleasant, floral, not loud. But at the start, some kind of smokyness is very often found, not tobacco, but exactly how the clothes of a smoking person smell. It lasts 30 min - 1 hour. Then it subsides and finally comes out the very light flowers that I wrote about above.

Top note is a very delicate, ethereal floral note that evokes the image of white fabric. Base note is slightly peachy and sweet. This feels like a great wedding scent. Widely likable and inoffensive. Office safe. Very feminine.

Smell: 10 out of 10
Longevity: 8 out of 10

For reference, I'm female.

A soft, clean, floral. While not even close to being a dupe, something about it reminds me of Herbal Essence shampoo—but sophisticated.

I think this is a gorgeous sweet and floral blend. Smells beautiful and is a compliment getter. I don’t understand the reviews unless folks are over spraying. All seasons, all ages and all moods. This could be a signature for some.

Very ordinary white floral. Smells like every other perfume for 30 bucks while it's extremely overpriced.

Good Girl Gone Bad is a surprisingly accurate name. As in, I was feeling good before I put it on, and then I developed a headache and quickly felt bad. This one was a bit overpowering for me. It was a nice albeit strong floral at first, and then it quickly started to smell like candy. It was a bit cloying for my taste.

smells like bathroom freshener and headache inducing

I wonder if the songs "Good Girl Gone Bad" and "Kisses Don't Lie" are paying homage to Rihanna for popularizing "Love, Don't Be Shy".

Smells to me like cheap perfume. Nauseating even gives me sneezes. I really tried to like for just occasional wear but it is just gross

I smell it on the test strip. 1st impression: why is it so harsh? I can’t stand the smell! Around 3hrs later I smell it again, and this time is much better tbh. But still not my type.

On paper this is nothing but stunning through and through. I’m very new to the world of fragrance, but ive been trying to find the perfect imitation of the smell of a specific kind of rose i remember smelling as a kid. The kind that is sweet yet smooth and somewhat fresh in the most addicting way and this NAILED IT… on paper that is. Unfortunately on my skin the opening he an underlying powdery spicy burn that was so off putting and headache inducing that although that note dissipates in the dry down, the opening lasts too long to bear that note for me. Still very pretty and any age could pull it off if they wanted to as long as you’re into sweet florals

This is a big no for me. Not that I hate it, but it smells exactly like the toilet refreshener used in the training premises of the airline I once worked. I mostly smell peach (and some tuberose). If you are into that and you like to intoxicate people, this is your fragrance.

This is giving me vibes of "I smell like I just got out of the shower after washing my hair with a beautiful smelling creamy shampoo, and I will put on a white short dress and go walk out in the garden in the middle of spring where all you can feel is a nice breeze with a scent of flowers".

I love wearing this when I am feeling feminine and beautiful. This is very creamy, like the fluffiest lotion with a hint of sweetness and lots of flowers. Very similar to Vanille Exclusif by Mancera but that one is a more gourmand version of this one.
I love this.

As a child I used to keep the peach pit in my mouth long after I’d finished eating the fruit; much like pulling dried craft glue off your fingers there was something enormously satisfying about picking the fruit strands out of the dents and ridges leaving it clean. This smells like that. First impressions of peach skin—creamy dry white florals, then the skin bursts and it’s sweet juicy ripe peaches, followed by dirty crushed petals, woody kernel and oxidising juice on sticky fingers which lingers and leaves the strongest impression. I need it!

lovely tuberose, smells clean and elegant.

I love the name of this perfume for the scent. It totally reminds me of my mom, and then reminds me that she wasn’t always the prim feminine lady I knew in her 40s-70s. As a young person she definitely would have been one of those girls that went crazy over Elvis. She had a dirty potty mouth when she thought no one was looking. I think she had more of a wild streak than she let on. Mid-century vibes here for sure. Creamy. The scent grew on me after wearing my sample a few times. Got me interested in tuberose, which otherwise was a note I would avoid.

This smells...so bad....reminds me of a dead rich lady's newspaper and dove soap.

UPDATE-
Willing to try this on a hot day to see how it turns out. Will put my sample to use in the future.

Fresh white floral, semi sweet. Orange blossom and white florals with a tiny bit of rose. Maybe a hint of peach? Very nice! I would wear this in the spring.

I’m not into this fragrance at first but now I absolutely adore this fragrance. I know there’s no peach note in here, but I can smell fresh juicy peach, which’s really lovely. When I first spray it I can smell white floral but after the dry down I can clearly smell peach. I don’t get why people say it’s sexy, or even the name “Good Girl Gone Bad”, to me this is a really elegant and sophisticated scent. I wore this scent one time when going out and a lovely mature lady complimented me. Performed over 5 hours on my skin. Only problem was the price, but I’ll definitely save my money to get that full bottle. So addicted.

Smells all those perfume samples you ripped out of magazines as a kid. Notes of magazine glue, L’Oreal Kids detangling spray, and the year 2004.

When I first tried this I thought it was a typical floral. Recently got a free sample with a purchase and tried it out again. The opening was exactly how I remembered it - just straight white florals and I wrote it off again. And then sniffed it again after a few minutes and I actually like it! There's some fruity sweetness in here, peach(?) that comes through to balance out the florals a bit. It's a little too expensive though as it reminds me of some hair products I've smelled before.

The opening is amazing
The most round and beautiful sweet soft peach scent.
Then it becomes tuberosey and slighty sour which i hate. the stink that white flowers have.

Then it became a beautiful juicy peach scent again in the dry down but i can still smell the tuberose which i hate.

I usually like tuberose like the ones in armani my way or linterdit givenchy etc, but the one here is just. I dont like it .

Wudve loved it there was no tuberose

Dont feel the need to by since i already hv manceras wild python

This is pleasant but not worthy of the price tag, in my opinion.

Good Girl Gone Bad feels distinctly prim and proper, no risk or chance she’ll ever stray. Dry and airy white florals with a green undertone. Definitely falls into the “florist” category of florals, nearly vegetal in the opening.

If this weren’t so dry I’d be tempted to find a decant or buy more samples.

I can see this being a solid signature in Spring and Summer months, specifically for the girl who appears effortlessly put together, wears dainty gold jewelry and despite wearing makeup, looks as though she’s got nothing on. She’s just naturally pretty.

Not a bad offering from Kilian but again, it’s not worth the price and far more interesting and thoughtful compositions supersede it.

i have liked this on paper, but on my skin all i got were mature white florals. i dont understand why this is kilian's top selling frag bc everything else from the brand is distinct and delicious

If you have ever entered a hotel room immediately after the cleaning service has come and gone, then you are familiar with the scent of Juliette Has a Gun’s Good Girl Gone Bad. It is the powerful chemical cleaning agent miasma of grotty carpet and suspect duvets that have been freshly Febrezed, the delightfully noxious fumes of Scrubbing Bubbles, and the abrasive surfactants and solvents of industrial glass cleaner. If this Good Girl has Gone Bad, I suspect it’s because she kidnapped someone, concocted for them a toxic cocktail of these ingredients, toasted to their health in that shady hotel room while tossing her own drink over her shoulder, and skipped town while the evidence lay convulsing on the floor. Maybe they deserved it. I don’t judge these things. And I would also neither drink --nor wear-- this fragrance.

I normally don't like a lot of white flowers but decided to try just because I was hoping osmanthus will bring me back to my trip to Shanghai, when osmanthus trees were in full bloom and streets were filled with beautiful nectar molecules lingering in the air. I got samples of GG and Kismet by Maison Alhambra, as they both were recommended as fragrances for osmanthus lovers (Kismet has apricot instead, which is really similar) and understood why there are so many dislikes. While they both are interesting, they are really polarizing. I believe it is the white flower combo(possibly also including orange blossom or gardenia), very soapy and can induce a headache. I like the drydown, but not worth 200$ for 30% of the scent pyramid. GG would probably be worth it if you love scents like Fleur Narcotique from Ex Nihilo, Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, Nuit de Cellophane by Serge Lutens...

It smells like a floral perfume, like taking a walk through the garden. It’s smells nice but is it worth 175$? No. Absolutely not. Good thing I bought a sample

I’ve smelled cheap floral perfumes that kinda smells like this. I don’t remember their names. But when I smelled this I was like ‘meh’ pretty ordinary.

I give it a 5/10. I wasn’t impressed for the price, but it still smells nice.

i’m not usually a fan of overly floral perfumes but i don’t mind this one. it’s not too soft, it has a little edge to it - kind of like a sweet, juicy smell (maybe peachy?) which stops it from being too flat. the jasmine and tuberose work really nicely here. would be perfect for the spring!
for a kilian fragrance i was expecting it to be a little more out-there i guess. don’t get me wrong, i think it’s a nice scent but imo the other fragrances i’ve tried from this house are a lot more unique. judging by the name i was expecting something a bit darker - mysterious and sexy, instead it’s more sweet and playful.

Too floral for my taste in both the opening and dry down. Only wearable for me if I layer it. Decluttered.

Review of 7.5mL travel spray that came in The Floral Narcotics Discovery Set.

This is a peachy floral scent that has a dirty dry down. It is powerful and has a luscious wet feeling to me. The dry down is what I'd call metallic? When I first smelled this, it didn't wow me because of all the hype I'd heard about Killian. On second wear I decided that I did really like it compared to generic designers and cheaper scents. I'm not buying a full bottle because I bought the Extreme version and honestly prefer that a LOT more. This did turn me on to the note of osmanthus though. Lasting power and projection are good. I prefer this over Love, Don't be Shy.

Is this what tuberose smells like? Smells nothing like Marfa which is also tuberose.

generic floral. nice & i dont have any complaints but not unique enough for the kilian pricetag

This one is for osmanthus lovers only, otherwise it will be a bit hard for you to like it. But in general, it's a peachy floral scent and this together with the rose give it something deep too and not just a regular fragrance.
An important note, the fragrance smells different on colder days and on warmer days so be aware of it.

I just sample it and it’s Prada Infusion de Tubéreuse dupe! 🥰 i love the Prada Tubéreuse for summer.

This is an osmanthus bomb on me, and it smells just like the peach scented potpourri my mom used to put in the bathroom. I don't get how this is a bad girl fragrance. Big nope!

A very interesting discovery for me!
The Amouage Meander is one of my most loved fragrances. I love the gentle, green & creamy smell of the Meander which is so classy. It's become my signature day time perfume. Unfortunately Amouage didn't make a woman version of Meander which I would definitely buy for my wife.
Well, By Kilian did!! The Good Girl Gone Bad is surprising similar to Amouage Meander but in a feminine way. It sounds crazy but it's true. If you have a chance to try both perfumes do it, you'll be surprised. I'm buying a bottle of GGGB for my wife to compliment my Amouage Meander 😁

Opened up as a really fresh and pleasing soapy floral scent, I am thinking shower gel or hand wash vibes. It is very pleasant but not what I expected from an expensive niche. It starts to dry down and I get a pepper note but there is no pepper listed? It then did a bit of a disappearing act on me which is disappointing. It is not bad at all but Kilian is expensive and in my opinion they have much better fragrances within the range.

On my skin, the opening is a beautiful bouquet of fresh white flowers, enough sweetness, enough deepness without giving away the presence of wood. Petals everywhere.
It's something that a lot of women, myself included, would be happy to wear everyday in warmer months.

The development brings forward an almost spicy note, that turns again and becomes a more soapy scent.
Then I can see why it's "gone bad": the cedar wood note that comes through in the drydown gives a touch of resinous, pungent edge that disturbs the previous petals bath. It becomes dry, almost cologn-y.

I would not splurge 200 € on for a 50 ml bottle of something I only enjoy for the first few minutes.
Actually, if this had been a cheap perfume, I would probably have been less lenient and would have attributed such a drydown to poor quality. But this is Kilian, so they're allowed to be strange.

The price point requires true love for a committment, and while Good Girl Gone Bad is a beautifully blended floral, I also feel like it's too easy to replace with cheaper, probably nicer, equally performing fragrances.
If you really like the development and the drydown, but not the budget, this has something that reminds me of 80s young women scents: I would give a look into those.

It is difficult to understand the hype and success of this fragrance. One of the most mundane and insignificant tuberoses I've ever heard (and yes I've heard a lot. Maybe it has been reformulated; I have no idea. I'm sure it's not worth 1/3 of what it costs and I probably wouldn't buy it even if it was at cheap.

This is what I imagine a soft bed of white petals to smell like. When I wear this, I'm transported-- I can actually feel the Rose de Mai petals. The fruitiness of the osmanthus isn't in your face but a gentle lingering top note that is softer than just orange blossom. I think a lot of people miss the cedar in the dry down that gives it the slightly 'animalic' scent that was perhaps intended to be where the Good Girl went bad. This may also be where the performance on the dry down weakens for me. Am I anosmic to cedar? I get maybe 3 hours from this. I love the fragrance so much--I just wish it had better performance on my skin. 9/10 despite the lagging performance.
Strange… several people seem to be anosmic to this scent. Three different people have put the sprayer right to their nose and struggled to even smell it. However, after wearing this scent for several months I can smell it much better and the longevity seems such better.

Good start but bad end

Pretty standard white floral. Jasmine without the indolic heaviness, osmanthus without any bite. Smells like a good girl after a shower. Nothing to write home about.

Revisiting this one as my feelings towards it have changed. I loved this one initially when I purchased the Kilian discovery set, it was one of my favorites from them all. But now, I find it almost unpleasant in the opening. I can't pinpoint what it is, I like all of the notes individually. It's a fruity, slightly creamy white floral, a scent profile I usually love. I like the drydown better, but I'm really glad I didn't pull the trigger on the FB. There are other Kilians that I enjoy more.

This is the one that started my fragrance journey two
Years ago. I was trying to purchase love don’t be shy but it was sold out everywhere, so I blind bought my second
Choice,GGGB and it was love at first sniff! It smells warm and floral, and beautifully high-end. The bottle is gorgeous as well.

This scent is very synthetic - not necessarily in a bad way; similar to how Chanel fragrances have a sterile/synthetic feel. Good Girl Gone Bad smells strongly of hairspray in the opening and dries down to a fruity floral with a synthetic touch. It smells youthful but not juvenile, I picture it on young women in their late teens or 20s. Very misleading name as there is nothing "bad", or challenging, or sexy about this. It's a miss for me; I only pick up on the jasmine, osmanthus, and some nondescript fruity notes. Something about it comes off as insipid to me and I think it's the combination of traditionally "mature" white floral notes mingling with a fruity shampoo smell that gives the overall impression of a naive young girl who's trying to appear older than she really is.

I first tried this as a sample from microperfumes and i was instantly in love.
I was sampling a whole bunch of white florals in a row, and this is the only one that really stood out to me. I thought it was a little complex, I had a hard time describing it. It was definitely the most interesting in the line up.

Remember, microperfume vials come with a tiny dabber. You can miss out on some top notes when you don't have an atomizer. (important later)

My first impression was something nectary, honey, peachy.
I immediately picked up on the heady narcissus- something i used to dislike, but have grown to love.
I thought this was the most delicious, sweet, sexy, slightly animalic white / yellow floral and I knew i wanted a bigger bottle. I couldn't understand the people complaining it smelled like "spicy hot milk."

Well, I ordered a travel spray and I did have a different, slightly peppery experience.
I think a spray gives you more of that peppery osmanthus opening. I was very concerned, and I couldn't understand how this was the same juice i got in my sample. It can definitely be screechy and off-putting with the atomizer.

However, this perfume needs HEAT and SUNSHINE and that peppery top note fades within 15 minutes. And then you get all those creamy, fleshy yet fresh florals. This is one of my favorites. It's a little weird, but I like weird.
As i said, it stands out. I find it very unique compared to my other springtime florals.

Sillage and Longevity are respectable. I just wish it were more affordable.

I hate this. Its an unpleasant floral, nothing special, too generic even, I dont get the hype and to me its not worth the money.

This scent feels like a peach flavor has been added to hot milk. It's literally like the smell of peach flavor in a hot milk with sugar. Contrary to the ratings, the rose note is not strong and does not make me feel floral. It feels more like aromatic and fruity.

Persistence and spread are high, like the strongest perfumes you'll ever see, within the first hour. The smell is felt from 3 meters in the first hour. After 3 hours, the spreading rate of the fragrance is reduced to less than half a meter. At the end of the day only the sugary vanilla-like tone remains. Persistence lasts up to 8 hours on fabric. Fragrance starts to diminish on the skin within 4 hours. Only sweet sugary notes remain of the fragrance.

I don't think this fragrance is suitable for women over the age of 30. More like a teenage girl scent. However, I think it can be used by men under the age of 30 because it does not have a feminine tone.

It smells like jasmine liquid soap. It's ok for every day, but definitely not worth the money.

I am not a fan of this at all. This gives me hair spray and hair relaxer vibes. If anyone had a relaxer when they were younger you will know exactly what I am speaking about. This scent reminds me of the mixing stages of a relaxer when you would add 1 and 2 together! Like a Just for Me relaxer kit your mom would use to relax your hair. However, GGGB is just not for me (pun intended). This is a definite nope for me. Just to mention I have Bamboo Harmony, Moonlight in Heaven and Woman in Gold which I love.

Sticky sweet...too much.

This is a nice perfume. The silage is faint. And the scent does not last long on me. This is ideal for the person who does not like strong perfume. The name is......disarming. I was think more sultry. This still smells sweet and pretty. To get a better longevity and silage, I added white floral, jasmine and rose.

Elegant
Sophisticated
Mature
Beautiful
Perfect for spring

Osmanthus lovers will enjoy this. It’s a tad green, lovely tuberose, rosey background with jasmine.
I smell a touch of apple/apricot lingering in the background (very lightly, not sweet or juicy…imagine an unsweetened applesauce blended with florals and greenness)

When I first tried this in cold weather it hated it…too sharp, too mature. But now that it’s spring it’s perfect and all of the notes shine more.

This is for someone who wants to smell classy in the spring during the day at brunch.

Sheesh I wish people would start using something else besides "old lady" to describe something that stinks. Or something that's out of style. This is unfair to old ladies - who are among the greatest wearers of class perfumes and who more often than not keep their homes spotlessly clean and fresh smelling. And being out of style happens to people of all ages!

if you enjoy in-your-face floral-forward perfumes, this one's for you. not my fave genre, but staying objective this is a really nice sexy rose-y blend with a lot of depth to it. it's not too mature which i enjoy, but it also does give that vintage feel. honestly pretty good!

I really don’t get the hype around this perfume. It smells ok but is very weak on my skin and fades after only a few hours. Not what I want for this price.

Although an amazing scent, this just doesn’t last at all for me. I love the sweetness, it’s not too strong, and remains classy. The floral elements add a youthful glow, and overall this perfume is very feminine and beautiful. However, it’s performance is abysmal. Lasts two hours for me, if I’m lucky. Kind of confounding, given that my other Kilian EDPs last until the next day. Very disappointed, because I love how this smells.

A straight peachy white floral scent. Performance is eh. I'd prefer Hundred Silent Ways by Nishane over this. It is also a peachy tuberose scent but with way better quality and performance.

The girl in me really loves that. Although I wouldn't say that she becomes bad after using this 😀
It is gorgeous osmanthus/peachy scent, that I didn't appreaciate before, I think I am starting to fall in love with osmanthus note. There is a lot of osmanthus where I live and it reminds me of spring.

But for me, this perfume is nothing special or unique and I have to say that it disappears surprisingly quickly.

EDIT:
I've tried it now in a cold rainy weather and it is a completely different story. Heavy, aromatic, sticky peach plus indolic tuberose with a hint of osmanthus. For the first 10 minutes it was dead on Fracas on my skin. Actually, it still has Fracas vibe, but now it stays very close to skin, it is bizarre how strong and complex it was at the beginning and how quickly it became nice skin scent. Maybe it should be the other way around: bad girl gone good :)

I have a full bottle of Pas ce soir BDK that I am willing to trade for this gem. Text me if you are interested. Im from europe. :)

So pretty for spring and summer! Bright, peachy, almost aldehyde-esque opening (I’m surprised to see that they aren’t listed as a note!) with a slightly creamy, sumptuous floral base. Tuberose can be hit or miss for me, I hate the bubblegum-y effect it gives in givenchy’s l’interdit, but here it adds the perfect depth and creaminess. I’m really starting to enjoy osthmanthus!

every time i smell this it always reminds me of Mancera Wild Python, the tuberose in both is very similar. Eventhough there's no peach listed here in GGGB but it does have this similar airy fruity and fresh touch to it just like the Wild Python. They're not duped or anything but def share the same vibe.

I love this fragrance, such a nice combination of my favorite flowers and a sturdy amber-cedar base. It is incredibly versatile: during the day it’s feminine and flowery but it changes a lot according to the temperature and humidity. I noticed the more I sweat the sexier the flowers sound, narcissus become more noticeable and adding a special grain to the overall picture. It is amazing for a night out in a club, warm salty skin amplifying the flowers and the base and making it so good bad. During the day, I get the classic sweet classy flowers. Love it!

I thought I hated this fragrance at first. Literally gave it a “yuck” reaction when I first smelled it (horrible screechy florals! But keep reading)...

Months later I got a travel size with a set of Kilian fragrances. I sprayed two little puffs on a test strip to give it another shot, and thought eh! Not as bad as I thought, but still not a “love.” I left the test strip out on my vanity and went about my day. When I came back later, the whole room smelled like a gorgeous fresh floral bouquet. I was pretty shocked at how it had transformed.

I’m wearing it now and can say I have mixed feelings for sure. This is one of those fragrances that I think comes out really strong, and can be overwhelming to the wearer (and to those nearby if you overspray).

Once it settles, though, and if used very lightly, it’s an extremely gorgeous floral scent. Super feminine, almost with an aldehydic Chanel quality.

On my skin this smells like peach and white florals, it is a fresh, light and airy fragrance. I see it mostly as a summer day scent for those moments when you want to feel and smell like you've stepped out of a girly bubble bath and you smell clean but not detergent clean. It is a bit like Springtime in the park or Bubble bath by MMM. The name implies some sexiness but it's not there.

i can't imagine anyone wanting to smell like stinky jasmine. it must smell different on other people because the smell is making my brain hurt

My first impression of this was that it smelled like urine with a hint of apricot. So we weren't off to a great start. I was determined to give it a second chance and so I tried it again today. Whilst I no longer get the urine smell (at least not as bad as the first time I tried it), I just don't think the combination of roses and osmanthus does it for me. It is a completely unremarkable fragrance. I don't think you'd be hard-pressed to find an alternative for a fraction of the price.

Wow, I really hated this perfume when I sampled it. It smelled almost medicinal on me. This does have tuberose in it which is generally a no-go for me. This was scrubber for me

This is my favorite scent. It is a huge compliment getter. If you want smth like this but not expensive you can buy Mancera Wild Python it is 98% dupe)

Peach aldehyde. Not worth the money at all. Got it as a sample from selfridges and very disappointed, Kilian makes some beautiful fragrances but this right here, this is not it. I may use it as a diffuser for my bathroom though.

The best perfume ever, super long lasting Fragrance ... I love it

A really solid middle-of-the-road floral that's not cheap smelling, but doesn't smell high-end, either. Big sillage and projection, but also sneeze-inducing for me. I can't get past how much this smells like the preppy 20-somethings in the bars/clubs in the 90's who were cruel on purpose, so it's a hard pass for me. I'll stick with my Insomnia version of Black Phantom.

It's a peachy nichey fragrance. Insane silage and projection!

umm smells like old lady house. nope

Hairspray and soap.

Are they sure there aren’t aldehydes in this thing? My throat is itching.

Oh man what a dumb dumb i am for buying this blind.

This stinky cheap shampoo smells like how I used to think chanel No.5 smelt…urine. Like what I imagine an old lady hoarders house to smell like. Wow never before have I got it so wrong.

It’s got to be the tuberose and the osmanthus mixed a very old rose in the back. Yikes.

There *is* however, something in the far distance. Something nutty and creamy and a little spicy. But as soon as you start to focus on it, she’s gone. That must be the good girl gone bad because she’s gone..gone…..gone.
