By Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad Anniversary Edition Review

A limited-edition white floral opus by Alberto Morillas

By Vivir ·
By Kilian's Good Girl Gone Bad Anniversary Edition is a limited-edition Eau de Parfum released in 2022 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the original. Housed in Eiffel Tower-inspired packaging, this women's floral was composed by master perfumer Alberto Morillas. It revisits the beloved white floral theme with an opulent heart of jasmine, Indian tuberose, and narcissus, lifted by osmanthus, May rose, and orange blossom, and grounded in amber and cedar. At $305 for 50ml, it is a luxurious statement for collectors and white floral devotees.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0–30 minutes sparkle with osmanthus, May rose, and orange blossom. A fruity, slightly apricot-like sweetness from osmanthus melds with the honeyed freshness of orange blossom and the dewy elegance of May rose. The opening is bright yet creamy, hinting at the white floral richness to come.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

At 1–2 hours, the heart blooms dramatically. Jasmine and Indian tuberose take center stage, their indolic, buttery, and slightly animalic facets intertwining with the green, hay-like nuance of narcissus. This is the most opulent and sensual phase, a lush bouquet that feels both vintage and modern.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

After 4+ hours, the fragrance settles into a warm, resinous amber and cedar base. The white florals remain as a soft, creamy veil, while amber adds a golden, slightly powdery sweetness and cedar provides a dry, woody structure. The drydown is intimate, elegant, and long-lasting.
