Love, Chic Baby for boys (shown) "tickles the senses with a light burst of tootie fruity freshness". The notes include mandarin, orange, pink grapefruit, sweetheart melon, wild strawberry and dewberry.
Love, Chic Baby for girls "creates a burst of crisp, floral freshness that delicately captures the innocence and youthful radiance of little girls". The notes feature pink mandarin, bergamot, water lily, peony, freesia, pineapple and sheer rose.
The Love, Chic Baby fragrances are $60 each, size and concentration unknown. (via lovechicbaby, found via Women's Wear Daily)
“tootie fruity freshness” … “TOOTIE FRUITY FRESHNESS”! oh dear God, they're even doing it to the children. I think you know where I stand on this. blech. xoxo
So, it's fruit salad for the baby boys and random flowers, with a few pink fruits thrown in, for the baby girls? Nauseating! The idea of baby fragrances in itself is pretty suspicous, I think, and his'n'hers baby fragrances… that's downright nasty.
“Tootie fruity” anything makes me want to gag. The only frag I can see wanting to spray on a child is either the Mustela kid perfume, which smells sunny and light, and contains no alcohol. Another is by L'Occitane, Eau de Miel, which also does not contain alcohol. Come to think of it, do babies really need perfume?! I buy the above mentioned for myself.
I'm going to heartily agree with the comments on this fragrance for babies! Oh pleeeeze..babies smell perfectly sweet on their own and I think that love and sunshine are the best scents for babies! I'd wear the fruit salad probably…
LOL — nobody is safe
I have a hard time believing that spraying perfume on babies will catch on in the US, although certainly scented baby products (lotions, powders) are popular. But we'll see — apparently it is more popular elsewhere.
Will add the ambrette scent by Le Labo, which is lovely. Even then, I think I'd wait, myself. Babies smell so absolutely wonderful without scented products that I can't imagine wanting to miss that stage.
Agree!
The boxes are labeled 1.7 fl oz in the pictures on their site. I also spy a typo in their slogan. What do you suppose “Dermatology tested” means? Will hold up to the study of dermatology?
Duh — I can even make that out on the picture here. Thanks! And I would guess it is highly unlikely that they are in any concentration heavier than EdT.
This is just plain stupid.
As much as I love fragrance, I agree with all of you that this is a product we can do without. Also, it's not good for the babies noses with all that scent. I think it has to do with the small noses being very sensitive.
The very few times I go without fragrance is when I know I'm about to meet a very small child, and I never wore any when my kids were babies (although I craved it every day!).
My own son (as a baby) very clearly did not like perfume, so I gave it up for years myself. Can't imagine how he would have wailed if I'd actually put it on him as baby. But many people do, and these aren't the first such products.
I love the way babys smell naturally. They don't need anything extra and it must be pretty disturbing for them too. Maybe these fragrances will cause bad allergies, rashes or breathing problems. I think this is a very bad idea.
Not doing anything for me either
