Does anyone know what cream/lotion this is?

[popperyes]

A friend met up with me today and her 7 month old smelt delicious! No, not a baby smell. It was a cream!

She said yeah it's this cream I buy, but DC ran off and I forgot to follow up and ask what cream! She hasn't replied to my text yet

It lingered from when I met up with her to when we said goodbye, so about 5 hours?! Strong stuff but baby had beautiful skin

What did it smell like?

I use a lot of childs farm that smells nice.. also the johnsons nighttime lotions smells lovely.

It smelt of coco!

I use Child's farm on my son and though lovely smelling, doesn't last scent wise

Palmers cocoa butter?

There's a specific baby one

It'll be Palmers, I used it to help prevent stretch marks and never stopped.

Definitely Palmers coco butter. I use it and DP frequently tells me how nice I smell the day after I’ve applied it so it definitely lingers!

Palmers Cocoa butter? It smells amazing

Oh Lordy the smell of palmers coco butter makes me queasy but it seems I'm the only one! I got some kokoso which smells lovely too ☺️

I can remember buying a baby cream in Waitrose about three years ago that smelt so divine I wanted to know what perfume they used so I could try and replicate it. Never did find out.

Friend has text and said it's Palmers baby coco!

It smelt sort of chocolatey but also of baby powder?

I remember a colleague wearing this and commenting on it. She said 'Oh yes, all black people love this dear' her words , not mine! She said it's very popular in Nigeria where she's from

Friend isn't Nigerian but her husband is so wondering if this is how she's come to use it? But sure I've seen it in the supermarket so I can grab a bottle myself easily

I don’t like Palmers cocoa butter. So you’re not the only one @eatingpopcorn

This was the one Waitrose did but apparently it’s been discontinued 🙄

Oh yes, that’s how I got into using it. DP is Jamaican and apparently was smothered in it throughout his childhood

@justanotherneighinparadise

This was the one Waitrose did but apparently it’s been discontinued 🙄

Oh no! Wonder why they'd discontinue it - I've seen that mentioned before too? Can't pinpoint where

Maybe I should try the palmers baby butter version. I might like that more! Otherwise the scent is apparently vanilla and chamomile. I just need to find a perfume with those notes.

You can buy Roman chamomile oil if you sell a kidney and add a few drops to lotion.

I also found this thread discussing perfumes that smell like Palmers.

Ooh! Do you have to be a baby to use it? I love that coconut smell. Used to get refills of coconut scent from Bodyshop back in the day, but no more.

Al Rehab choco musk plus a dab of vanilla is fantastic.

I loved that Waitrose bum butter. DS2 loves coconut and he uses Little coco which you get from Sainsbury's.

Each to their own. I find it a bit overpowering gourmand and synthetic, it's recognisable a mile off.

I actually do like the smell in the context of sniffing the bottle but all over the body would be far too much for me. Glad you've solved it though OP.

Waitrose do a baby coconut range I think

@dontgobaconmyheart - gourmand AND synthetic. How inferior.
