No dice. Testing this in the store was a good decision–if I had blind bought this, it would have been a disaster. I sprayed it on the scent card, and sneezed. Definitely not a good first impression. Finally after the mist settled, I got a better whiff, and decided–Good Girl isn't such a good buy. Nothing about its scent profile makes any sense to me. It's a haphazard combination of warm gourmands with fresh citrus and super sweet florals, but not in a cohesive way. The tonka is very smooth, and this has a warm, vanillic gourmond quality to it. The fruit smells like Viva la Juicy, or Victoria's Secret blends. Again, not bad whatsoever, but nothing memorable. These are different, especially the openings, where GG is fruity & creamy while VV is powdery & citrus/orange-blossom. As they dry down, however, they become more similar with tonka in the base.

CREAMY MOCHA & APRICOT Dessert Lover Heaven. Imagine a dessert of whipped cream and stone fruit on a centre layer of cheesecake all on a base made of instant coffee and dark chocolate wafer crumbs! My mom used to make this - love at first scent. Signed by perfumers Louise Turner (Tom Ford Lost Cherry) and Quentin Bisch (Delina Parfums de Marly), this beauty opens with a burst of citrus-almond-coffee that together evoke stone fruits in a whipped dessert that deepens into a creamier heart with tuberose all on a dark chocolate cookie and instant coffee crystal base. This has a dual nature of light & fluffy/fruit & whipped cream, but underpinned by a heavier dark chocolate tonka quality. However, some days I feel the orange blossom more, and it becomes something entirely different - more of clean laundry vibe, clothing peach-skin/your-skin/bronzed skin with a coffee & dessert. I dropped by Macy's to buy her a full bottle for her birthday yesterday, and the counter-girl said they're selling it so fast they can't keep it on the shelves - and I believe it.I'll keep my previous review as my first impression commentary. Having worn it, my opinion on Good Girl somewhat changed. I'm rating it sentimentally more than objectively. I really started to appreciate original GG once sprayed on both skin and clothes, and the very same thing happened with Suprême. 1 or 2 sprays on my wrist just weren't doing these 2 justice, simply because the GG magic only seems to work on me once I smell it in the air. Once the scent bubble is gone, I find that it just smells okay. However, when OG or Suprême is in the air--- oh boy! I love it. Longtivity wise, it smells strong for hours. People will notice it for awhile. I still smelled it on myself in the morning. Also clings to clothes pretty well. I'm not disappointed. It's not cheap but you can tell it's good quality. To me, GG is memories, emotions, nostalgia, mystery, darkness and allure, whereas Supreme comes off as simply a nice nighttime perfume inspired by GG. Sort of like a remix of your favorite song that adds a new twist and slightly edits the rest, and you might even like it too, but it remains a remix.

edit 2: Performance-wise it is !grand! On one occasion it withstood a long bath a day after spraying (still felt a faint GG aroma on my skin so it doesn't go away completely), on another one by the end of the day 1 accidental spray of GG from the night before turned out to be as strong as 4 sprays of a different perfume from the morning. My room has a faint aroma like that of a fancy perfume boutique almost all the time because I use GG often. My shelf too - from the GG bottles just standing there It's perfumes like this that make us perfume addicts complain about poor performance of others. I feel even happier about GG knowing I need very few sprays for such terrific performance. So make sure you don't mind it before you test on your skin - you won't get it off so easily. This is listed as a white floral, yet I wish the florals were more present. As with GG Blush, I think this is quite pretty, but I also wish the base was heavier in woods, it needs sandalwood IMO. And, I also had hoped this would be spicier or cozier...what with the title of "Supreme", but it isn't. It's not that deep. It's smoother than the original, but so is Légère, and Légère does it with more personality. Amazing. I bought the 1.7 FL oz from ulta then walked into petco and a woman Said I smelled amazing. It was odd but it's that good. On me? It smells like Caramel chocolate type fragrance at first then dries down to a cotton candy on my skin. It's good. Hint of berries. Not artificial cotton candy but the kind that's spun in front of you. Smells delicious paired with bare vanilla shimmer and bare vanilla cashmere from vs. And layers well with velvet petals bs. Or autumn shore. And tease cocoa sioree.Combining coffee with lemon and bergamot is not a natural or sensible combo. These scents contrast with each other way too much. And the almond–that's what killed it for me, along with the praline. I have a strong hatred for all nut smells. No wonder this affected my allergies. Once that repugnant nut-coffee-lemon smell went away, I was left with cloying, artificial white florals, awkward, nutty, chocolate, spicy, musky, ambery, woodiness. It was a mess. Miss Dream is a dupe of Good Girl Carolina Herrera. Very good approximation, just Good Girl has better performance. I do get a coffee note in this fragrance even though it's not listed. At first I didn't smell the coffee, but now I can smell a coffee note in the air (not on the skin) that is more like instant coffee or the grounds at the bottom of your cup, not the smell of opening a fresh tin of coffee. Miss Dream requires several months of dark storage to develop performance. Vetiver here smells like wet wood to me and it's peculiar but doesn't overpower other notes so I can get behind that. I mostly smell it when sprayed in the air. Virtually most female perfumes with vetiver are great despite it being a male note as if the noses try extra hard to refine and smooth it out with the rest of the notes. Tonka and vetiver are a nice combination, and this is not a bad perfume overall obviously but in my opinion pales in comparison with Good Girl. Sadly enough, Suprême stands waaaay closer to skin vs the OG. It's really unfortunate, because it smells warmer, cozier, more enveloping. These two are sisters but they don't give off the same vibe.
