The Carolina Herrera universe has grown once again to include the latest fragrance iteration - Good Girl Blush. Fronted by stunning supermodel, Karlie Kloss, her radiant energy and mischievous smile delicately reveal the contrasts of Good Girl Blush and its sustainably sourced ingredients which include Vanilla, Peony and Ylang Ylang. For this new edition, perfumer Quentin Bisch worked with his colleagues Shyamala Maisondieu and Christophe Raynaud, finding instant visual inspiration in the iconic Good Girl stiletto bottle itself, which is interpreted in pastel pink with a dynamic gold heel. “It instantly brought to mind the Vanilla bean. The heel is the strength of the shoe, and I imagined the Vanilla as the strength of the fragrance.”

Using differing extractions of the same ingredient was an ingenious way of delving further into the story of Good Girl. Not only did the perfumers create a sunny explosion of fragrance by contrasting ingredients with each other, but they also found a way of creating complementary notes within each ingredient. “We were already working with the gourmand side of vanilla in previous incarnations of Good Girl, so using an additional powdery extraction was the ideal way of articulating a blush,” says Quentin Bisch. When it came to Ylang Ylang, “we had the luminosity of the flower petal itself, and by using an Absolute in addition, we were able to play with the deeper, more narcotic and sensual side of this alluring flower.”

To create the petal-like effect that Peony brings to the voluminous floral bouquet of Good Girl Blush, the perfumers worked with scientific molecules blended with up-cycled rose water. Remaining faithful to the scent of natural Peony, this technique allows its note in the fragrance to reach its fully blooming potential, while strengthening extended long wear on the skin. The symbiotic play between facets becomes a dance between ingredients, and for the perfumers, the Ylang Ylang as the other flower at the heart of the fragrance was a natural progression from the white jasmine that played such an important role in the original Good Girl.
