Our take

Very Good Girl fits a wearer who wants fruit before flowers, since litchi and red currant do most of the talking up top, tart and a little sour against the sweetness underneath. Rose shows up in the heart but stays soft, more of a backdrop to the fruit than the main event, never really asking for attention on its own.

Vanilla and vetiver hold the base together, giving the fruity top something warm to land on instead of fading into nothing. On skin it has average staying power, comfortable and unhurried without asking much of the wearer, and the sillage keeps its presence gentle and near, more personal fragrance than statement piece. Vetiver does more work in the base than the vanilla gets credit for, adding a dry, slightly green bitterness that keeps the sweetness honest.

It suits younger, casual days more than a formal evening, and the tart fruit up top is the part that will either win people over immediately or feel like too much fruit for a perfume. There isn't a lot of depth here past that first impression, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. What you smell early on is more or less what you get for the rest of the wear.
