B.A.D Femme

First Impressions & Dry Down

B.A.D Femme is Maison Alhambra's take on Carolina Herrera's Good Girl. The opening blast hits you with a strong almond and coffee accord, but it's not quite as smooth or refined as the original. There's a slightly sharper, more synthetic edge here. The heart attempts the tuberose-jasmine dance, but it's a little louder, less blended. Orange blossom adds a touch of sweetness. The drydown is where it gets closer to the original. The tonka bean, cacao, and vanilla create a warm, gourmand base. I'd say it's about 89% similar, missing some of the sophisticated nuances of Good Girl.

Longevity & Projection

Performance is decent, especially considering the price. Expect around 5-6 hours of noticeable wear. Projection is moderate for the first hour or two, then it settles closer to the skin. It won't fill a room, but people nearby will smell it.

The Verdict

For the budget-conscious, B.A.D Femme is a solid option. It captures the essence of Good Girl without breaking the bank. Is it a perfect dupe? No. Does it smell good? Yes. If you can't justify the price tag of the original, and you're okay with a *slightly* less polished version, this is a worthy contender. Just don't expect niche quality at discounter prices. A good choice for casual wear and a sweet-smelling steal.
