Not really something I have covered before but I love perfumes. I am very picky and I have been told my sense of smell is akin to a bloodhound. I love sweet-smelling fragrances. But I think everyone has a place and appropriate time. With Christmas around the corner and a lot of people looking for what to gift their significant other, I thought why not do a couple of perfume reviews of my favourites to help guide you when you are buying your next one.
You should know I am not prejudiced when it comes to fragrance. I love luxury and the high street. I will not tell you to buy something for the sake of it. It's all about honesty over here. Times are tough and if your money could be better spent on a dupe I will tell you that.
If you’re familiar with the Carolina Herrera line, you’ll know that each launch is a statement. Very Good Girl Glam was no different. being launched in 2022 adding a new glittery pink stiletto to the already big collection of fragrances. Good girl glam parfum has come a long way. I couldn’t resist reviewing it for you all. This is a stand-out smell it has been designed to get you noticed and dame it gets noticed. I have had this for quite some months now so I can do a really in-depth review of this product.
What is Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Glam?
Carolina Herrera's Very Good Girl Glam is a bold, dazzling twist on the iconic Good Girl collection. Known for its signature stiletto-shaped bottle, this fragrance is all about embracing femininity with a powerful twist. But how does it stand out? With its cherry-dominant scent, it offers something different, bolder, and even more glamorous than the rest. In the last few years, cherry has been everywhere and I am not complaining. I am also huge fan of Tom Fords Lost Cherry and I knew I would be excited about this one.
Scent Profile
- Top Notes: This fragrance opens with a juicy burst of cherry, setting the tone with its sweet yet tangy sharp start. You’ll notice how the cherry immediately grabs attention.
- Middle Notes: As it settles on the skin, the floral heart begins to emerge. Expect rose to dominate here, adding elegance and depth to balance the playful cherry opening.
- Base Notes: The dry down leaves a soft yet rich trail of vanilla and vetiver, which gives it that creamy, warm finish. The base notes help maintain the scent’s strength without overpowering it.
Performance and Longevity
When it comes to performance, Very Good Girl Glam does not disappoint:
- Longevity: This perfume is said to last a good 6-8 hours on the skin, with its intensity remaining steady for the first few hours. But I will say I get longer I can spray this one in the morning and smell it at bedtime.
- Intensity: It’s a bold and vibrant scent, perfect for those who like their perfume to make a statement and she makes a statement.
- Wearability: Given its sweet and sultry profile, this is definitely a scent designed for special occasions or evening wear. But you could get away with wearing it during the day, I do all the time. I once got stopped and asked what I was wearing in the middle of a forest.
Occasions and Seasonality
This perfume is versatile I wear it every season but I can see why people say isuit cooler seasons like autumn and winter due to its rich, sweet nature. Its boldness makes it perfect for:
- Night outs or special events where you want to leave a lasting impression.
- Romantic evenings or date nights when you want to feel confident.
- Girls nights. I promise your friends will ask you about this
- When you want to stand out.
Comparisons with Other Carolina Herrera Fragrances
If you’re wondering how it stacks up to the original Good Girl, here’s a quick comparison:
- Good Girl Glam leans heavily on cherry and rose, while Good Girl has more emphasis on tonka bean and tuberose.
- Good Girl may be more subtle and versatile, but if you like making a bold statement, Very Good Girl Glam will be your go-to.
- The bottle? Both are iconic, but the Glam edition comes with a glittery stiletto design, which really gives it that extra wow factor!
Price
As with most Carolina Herrera fragrances, Very Good Girl Glam falls on the pricier side. Expect to pay around £85-£100 for a 50ml bottle, with larger sizes costing more. I know that is very pricey and yes you could buy something cheaper But given the long-lasting property the bottle does last a very long time and is a very luxurious brand you know it will not go off. I know not everyone will rush out to buy this at this price but If I am honest I would buy it again. The payoff is amazing the scent is divine and the complements are never-ending.
My review
So, is Carolina Herrera's Very Good Girl Glam worth the purchase? Absolutely, if you’re someone who adores bold, sweet, and sophisticated scents and has the budget. It's a cherry-driven scent but it is unique, while the luxurious rose and vanilla add a touch of class. It is sweet without being sickly. It is the right side of sweet. I recommend it for anyone looking to add a glamorous twist to their perfume collection. I adore this perfume and there is no getting around that.
Who is this for? If you enjoy bold, long-lasting sweet perfumes that get people asking what you're wearing, this is for you! Plus, the stunning bottle alone makes it a worthwhile addition to any collection.
This would make a perfect gift for anyone. Unless you don't like sweet fragrances that is.
