The authentic Good Girl bottle

Launched in 2016, Carolina Herrera's Good Girl is instantly recognisable by its stiletto-shaped bottle, cut from deep midnight-blue glass with a slender heel. This iconic design is one of the first indicators of authenticity: the glass should have a uniform, dense tint, with no bubbles or irregularities. The cap fits on precisely, without excessive play. The engraving of the brand and fragrance name on the bottle should be sharp, well centred and perfectly legible. The outer box, meanwhile, is covered in taut cellophane, with no creases or tears, and the batch code is clearly printed on the box as well as on the base of the bottle. Inside, the scent reveals a rich, enveloping olfactory signature, blending tuberose and jasmine at the top before giving way to a gourmand heart of tonka bean and cocoa. Its staying power on the skin is long and generous, characteristic of fragrances from the oriental family.

The signs that give away a counterfeit

A counterfeit bottle tries to imitate the silhouette of the stiletto, but several details give it away. The quality of the glass is often poorer: uneven tint, variable thickness or the presence of micro-bubbles. The slender heel may look less precise, slightly asymmetrical or poorly polished. Engraved or screen-printed lettering lacks sharpness and may show smudges. The cellophane wrapping is sometimes poorly stretched or heat-sealed unevenly. The batch code may be missing, illegible or simply stuck on as a sticker. Finally, the fragrance itself is a reliable giveaway: a counterfeit perfume often gives off a pronounced smell of alcohol on opening, lacks depth and does not last long on the skin, far from the expected floral-gourmand richness.
