Yazhini ManimudiCarolina Herrera’s Good Girl collection began in 2016 with a rich, deep floral fragrance. The popularity of the perfume has spawned many flankers and limited edition perfumes. This year, we get Colormania, a deep fragrance housed in a hot pink and bright red striped bottle.
Colormania is an ambery floral fragrance for women, identical to the original. This is the composition of the perfume:
Notes
The first spritz reveals a bouquet of white florals with an underlying sweetness. It gets more intensely sweet as time goes by like fragrant flowers in the vicinity when you’re having really good, expensive dessert. The sweeter gourmand aspects of the fragrance goes well with the current trend in perfumes but the heavy florals feel older and of a different time.
It has a bold personality and projects extremely well. It would fit right in at a nightclub with heady fragrances in the air, thrumming with energy. It’s late nights that will have you waking up with a dull ache in your muscles yet happy that you had a fun time out. If you’re sensitive to strong fragrances, this one is most definitely not for you. It’s for older women at the age when you know what you want and don’t hesitate to go get it.
The bottles in this collection are quite controversial in the online fragrance-loving community. I personally love the look of the elegant golden heeled stiletto bottles, but some find it utterly repulsive. The stiletto combined with the name ‘Good Girl’ for a bold, not so ‘good girl’ type of scent plays into the ‘girlboss’ vibes of the era. It dances on the line between camp and tacky, belonging to either category depending on who you ask.
Bringing bright red and hot pink stripes to the already revulsed design shows they don’t really care about the fringe views against the bottle. There have been other Good Girl collector’s edition bottles in previous years. Sparkling Ice in 2024 for a festive vibe. A glittery purple Dazzling Garden in 2023. A glimmering, over the top Gold Fantasy in 2022.

The perfume has been accused of being ‘generic’ before. But I think it’s just a solid option. One you can reach for without much thought because it is certain to make you feel and smell good.
Perfumes are an easy yet good gift to give, but also very personal. It’s why we choose the most popular fragrances- the gift recipient is more likely to enjoy it. Releasing the same perfume in a different limited edition bottle each year refreshes a popular product for the market. If this is your signature scent, you’re in luck, getting a beautiful bottle to add to your collection. The unique shape of the bottle offers endless options for creatives to play around with.
So why not take advantage of that?
