Review (5/5): Interesting idea ... smells great. Cheap packaging.
At first, I was a bit skeptical about baby cologne. The act of spraying down your smelly little bundle of joy with cologne seems a bit weird. Are babies supposed to smell like anything but babies? So, we actually bought this spray for us, figuring the ingredients would be healthier if it was meant for youngsters. This does smell pretty darn good!
When the bottle arrived, it came capless in an envelope. The bottle feels like very lightweight plastic and cheap. Not sure why they did not go with a thicker plastic or even glass given the price point of this being not exactly on the cheap side. The packaging does not match the price or quality.
I wanted the white blossom/citrus version, which was unavailable and worried lavender would be cloyingly sweet and feminine. A few squirts from the bottle and my fears were gone ... this leans more towards feminine but could be worn by a man as well. The note I smell most is orange blossom followed by a faint lavender. It is fresh and captivating and I do get the mediterranean influence ... it smells like Spring on the Amalfi Coast. It's classy and well balanced ... I am a huge fan of colognes/perfumes and have lots of the high end Creed, Aqua di Parma, etc. and while you'll never mistake this for a luxury scent, it's better than a lot of the cheaper colognes and perfumes.
I wish I could tell you how babies like it, but mostly my 40 year old girlfriend wears this. It's a splash she puts on after the shower or before heading out when she wants something not as strong or distinctive as perfume. This doesn't last a long time ... maybe an hour or two. Nor does it project incredibly well ... it sits close to the skin. But for the price and how refined it is, it's worth keeping in your overnight bag or gym locker.
The ingredients seem to be similar to a normal eau de cologne. I am not sure I'd spritz down an infant with this too often ... but it seems to be a slightly scaled down version of bottled perfume. It still contains alcohol as the first ingredient but feels lighter on the skin.
Overall, despite the cheap packaging, this is a nice light scent that is good for adults and probably kids. Orange blossom is one of my favorite smells and it's high on the list of basenotes here. I'd recommend keeping a bottle of this on hand for a quick refreshing spritzdown. It smells nice and seems high quality.
