What does Very Good Girl Elixir (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Most pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out are the occasions it leans towards. Its feminine character dominates, though some also call it modern.

It opens on black cherry and bitter almond, while tuberose and rose water give the heart a soft floral touch. Cocoa and vanilla sweeten the base, leaving a powdery, creamy trail. Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Glam and Zara Tuberose (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
