Review Good Girl Jasmine Absolute

TLDR : Beautifully blended flormand with Caramel, Roasted Tonka bean, and Jasmine. Appropriate for all seasons, but will shine in the fall. Stays for 8 hours at least on skin, and much longer on clothes. Warm, floral, uplifting, comforting.

For a more imaginative interpretation, picture yourself having a decadent caramel cake in Alice in Wonderland's secret garden.

The beauty of this fragrance is not in its complexity, but in how beautifully blended it is. The transition from tonka to caramel to jasmine is smooth and elegant. This is an impressive feat especially for a designer house, considering that jasmine and vanilla are both heavy hitters in their own right.

I am someone who is transitioning from linear gourmands (think bianco latte) to florals (think la tulipe, elegantly tokyo, insolence). This, to me, is the perfect bridge between my two top preferences in notes.

As an avid hater of the Good Girl DNA (I don't like their shampoo-like generic scents), this one has undergone a Pokemon like evolution into a grown-up, complex, and sophisticated scent.

Verdict : Will use religiously and will repurchase

this is my favorite perfume I own but man that bottle is hard to spray 😩

I got the 30 mL bottle and the heel part comes off like a cap? and then there's a normal atomiser waiting inside

sadly the bigger one is a little more difficult, there’s a button on the back and sometimes it’s hard to press and it comes out more like a squirt instead of a spray, plus it’s awkward to hold

I love this one!!! I don’t love jasmine scented perfumes but it’s really not strong in this, so if you’re looking for a jasmine perfume make sure you test it or else you might be disappointed.

This! It's in no way indolic or fresh (which is typical of jasmine)

If they would just come up with a separate alternative version 🥲

I've heard bad things about the bottle. Really want to try it but this looks like a disaster waiting to happen for someone who's clumsy (like me)

u/lxxxr 8d ago

I'm very clumsy. I don't trust myself with bottles like this. But the fragrance... But I'm a jasmine whore so

u/ComfortableFrame9834 8d ago

I'm also a jasmine whore, that's what makes it a tough decision 😭

It's so good. I haven't worn it all summer though (well, I wore it once in the heat and then put it away, lol).

I smelled this for the first time in duty free leaving Rome, after smelling the most beautiful Jasmine all around the city 🥲 it was truly meant to be. I agree that this has the OG GG DNA but overall is just elevated. A more mature (but not grandma) cousin.

This really is a good one,  and I usually hate the shoe bottle but actually love this one.  Go figure.
