3 Perfumes Similar to Good Girl Gone Bad

Good Girl Gone Bad is one of the more popular fragrances from Kilian’s lineup. It’s floral and fruity, yet has its own rather unique aroma, while doing a pretty tried and true concept. However, it can also be pricey or you may want to wear something that smells similar, but not exactly the same. This is my ongoing page of perfume alternatives to Good Girl, Gone Bad.

What Fragrances Smell Like Good Girl, Gone Bad?

Sheba Jasmine

The Queen of Sheba– This is one that is similar to the Kilian, really, quite close. But, I don’t think that it is as good. Nevertheless, some may want to give The Queen of Sheba a try.

The start is probably the weakest part. It is greenish with a peach note and some more bitterness. I don’t know, it just doesn’t work for me. But, it does get much better during the dry down.

Light, peach, less green with a nice jasmine burst and tobacco making an appearance. The light tobacco does distinguish it from the Kilian. I like it, not the same, more jasmine heavy and less complex. Still has a pretty high price tag, as well.

Close and Inexpensive

Kismet for Women– This is a very inexpensive alternative, which strikes pretty close to what you get with the Kilian (not entirely the same, though).

The main differences are the osmanthus note strength here and Good Girl Gone Bad has more of a greenish aroma in the opening (in part from the osmanthus). So does Kismet, just not to the same extent. I’m not sure this fragrance ‘officially’ has an osmanthus, but something quite similar is there.

But, with that, you do get a stronger showing from the apricot (especially early on, part of that osmanthus complex). The dry down is closer, as we have a strong tuberose with Kismet, amber, and jasmine/rose.

Another difference, is the orange blossom which in the Kilian does have a period where it shines. Here, the white florals feel even more generic and less distinct.

The performance is pretty average. I only got around 7 hours with Good Girl Gone Bad, and this will most likely not hit that mark, by an hour or so. Not terrible, just middle of the road.

Gone Extreme

Extreme Rebellion by Dua– This one doesn’t try to replicate the original, but it does its rendition of the Extreme version of Good Girl, Gone Bad.

This one is milkier and creamier than the original. Still, has the osmanthus up top, but a greater use of tuberose and jasmine in the mix. Less fruity, more smooth floral. A different take, while still be very close to Good Girl, Gone Bad.

Extreme has a closer starting aroma to the original. Still green and fruity, but the absence of the orange blossom and less fruitiness give this a different feel. Mainly, the floral dry down has more jasmine in the mix, that milk note, and a greater woodiness.

Now, I haven’t tried Dua’s Extreme Rebellion, but they usually do a very good job with the other ‘designer inspirations’. I’ve owned a bunch of them and would expect that this indeed comes close to matching Good Girl, Gone Bad Extreme.

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
