PRODUCT DETAILS

Good Girl Gone Bad is an eau de parfum, not a lighter eau de toilette or an eau de cologne, so Been Good Before is built at the same concentration to match how the original actually wears.

Longevity sits around 6 to 8 hours on skin. French fragrance oils, filled by hand, vegan and never tested on animals. You have 15 days to exchange it if it doesn't suit you.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Been Good Before is our perfume dupe of By Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad, built for anyone who wants a floral that is not afraid to turn a little wicked. It opens on osmanthus and jasmine, moves into a rich tuberose heart, and settles on an amber and cedar accord.

The white florals arrive first, warm and slightly heady rather than sharp. Give it fifteen minutes and the deeper notes take over, richer and a touch more grown up, before the amber pulls everything close to the skin. It reads bold on the first spray, then quiets down without ever really leaving.

Tuberose and narcissus sit in the middle notes, and they are the part you remember at the end of the day, more than the jasmine that gets all the attention on paper. That heavy heart is what makes it read richer than the lighter floral perfumes on the same shelf.

Miris nije postojan, ne osjeti se vec nakon deset minuta. Kupila sam dva različita i sa drugim je tako. Ne bi preporučila.

This scent hit me like a "surprised Pikachu" meme, giving me a nostalgic, warm feeling that lingers on.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Been Good Before

Inspired by: Good Girl Gone Bad, By Kilian

Been Good Before suits autumn and winter best, when the warm florals and amber base have proper room to unfold, though the fresh opening keeps it wearable into spring too. Evenings out are its natural home, and it works anywhere you want to be noticed without saying a word.

By Kilian built Good Girl Gone Bad for women rather than for men, and Been Good Before follows that lead, staying feminine rather than unisex or masculine. Nothing rules it out for him if the style appeals, but it belongs next to women's perfumes, and at the bolder end of that shelf.

Choose our Inspiration

By Kilian is a niche fragrance house, and Good Girl Gone Bad has been part of the In the Garden of Good and Evil collection since 2012. It sits in the same luxury bracket as the big designer names, and it is a common reference point whenever the subject turns to bold, sensual florals.

The idea behind it is simple enough: a rush of jasmine and white florals pushing against something darker underneath. That tension is what set it apart from other designer fragrances when it launched, and it is what people are after when they go looking for a Good Girl Gone Bad dupe.

Why choose us?

Been Good Before is our alternative to By Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad, close to the original from the first spray without matching every last detail of it. This isn't a clone, it's our own blend built to feel similar to what you already know.

It sits alongside our other floral fragrances, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches, kept affordable the same way all our dupes are. If it isn't close enough to the original for you, send it back within 15 days of delivery and we'll sort it out.
