Wearers say
Wearing it
Good Girl EDP is a sultry white-floral gourmand that projects strongly and garners frequent compliments. Wearers love its cozy tonka drydown for date nights despite mixed feelings on the bottle.
How far it carriesArm's length to room filling
Perfumers call it sillage.
Good Girl EDP radiates outward with strong presence, projecting comfortably beyond arm's length without becoming completely suffocating.
“Personally, the perfume is so strong with a lot going on I would just pair with complimenting scented lotion but 62 sounds like it will work nice.”
