Good Girl Gone Bad
Good Girl Gone Bad is a lush white-floral built on tuberose, jasmine, osmanthus and rose, with a fruity narcissus accent. It is one of Kilian's most popular feminine scents, balancing indolic seduction with elegance.
Good Girl Gone Bad opens on Osmanthus and Indian Jasmine, moves through Tuberose and Narcissus, and dries down to Amber and Cedar. At $240 - $290 it is firmly luxury pricing that demands you love the profile first, with moderate (6h - 8h) on skin. Reasonably safe to blind buy if the note list appeals to you.
