I want a scent that smells like baby powder... or something

[TressiliansStone]

I bought a second hand coat and it has THE most glorious scent on it.

Wearing it is like being snuggled up in a warm towel after a bath when I was three. Or maybe being hugged by some warm, glamorous mother figure (definitely not mine!) who sweeps in from a cocktail party, engulfs one in her fur stole and says "Hello darlings, did you have a lovely day?"

I can only think it must be similar to some common product of the 1970s... but I can't really say what, and I wouldn't know where to begin describing perfumes.

The scent seems to be all over the coat, so probably hasn't come from a personal perfume.

Um, with that hopelessly vague brief, might any kind perfumista please have suggestions for something lovely and cosy so I and my wardrobe can smell like a glamorous snuggle!

Oh no … That’s actually my perfume, @TressiliansStone! Ostensibly it’s my spring scent, but I like it so much that I’m sometimes still wearing it in December. (It’s perfectly beautiful, but really needs a hot day for the full effect.)

I second this, or D&G light blue

Ptisenbon Tartine et Chocolat has an olde-worlde sort of a baby scent; I think it is made by Givenchy or one of the other big French houses

Another one who logged on to say Chanel No. 5!

Oscar de la Renta Esprit D'Oscar has a baby powder smell.

The perfume – and you! – sound fabulous, dahlink!

Perfume Parlour do a baby powder scent.

Shalimar has that smell I think

Philosophy pure grace or baby grace are baby powdery. Also I think it’s called something like molecule 101 or something reminds me of this smell too

The Fragrance Library scents from Notini are your friend - you can use as a standalone scent or layer with any of their very extensive range (I personally love Lemon Meringue, Leather and - weirdly - Play-Doh!)

@TressiliansStone

THE best talcum powdery smell

Divine Enfant

I like this one - Inspired by Baby Powder

Gosh, you really know your perfumes!

Just popped on to say that the link in the "Trending" list said, "I want a scent that smells like baby po..." and I was very intrigued to see what the missing word was!

Estee Lauder Sensuous - is just what you need!

Never heard of that site. They look good and they’re cruelty free 💕

Je Reviens by Worth could be up your street, if it's still made. It was one of my Mum's favourites forty-plus years ago.

Cerutti 1881 for her had a lovely powdery scent

Benefit used to do one called Maybe Baby. It was amazing and I miss it

Yes! Absolutely does. I miss that perfume so much!

Chanel Comete has a lovely baby powder undertone but unfortunately it is pricey.

Flower by Kenzo is just like that.

L’air du temps - Nina Ricci
Iris Poudre - Frederick Maille

Both smell powdery.
