Maybe Baby

This review is for the vintage 2003 bottle of Maybe Baby. This perfume is nothing like the cheap reformulated synthetic fragrance that Benefit deemed acceptable to resurrect after countless requests by loyal die hards. They should have let people dream of the perfume that it was and be happy with their memories. This is just beautiful! It opens with juicy fruity apricot and a blast of spicy ginger, the heart is floral, fresh and delicious and the finale is an orchestra of gorgeous peach, flowers and a touch of musk. Why oh why do they have to turn a masterpiece into an olfactory mishmash of cheap synthetic notes fit for 12 year old teeny boppers? Longevity is amazing for an EDT as it lasts for hours, Silage is just enough to be noticed I shall savour each and every drop of this rare gem and shall mourn its passing when it is finally gone.

Side-by-side comparison of Maybe Baby by Benefit and L (L.A.M.B.) by Gwen Stefani I'm using a new bottle of Maybe Baby (ordered directly from Benefit) and a bottle of L (ordered from eBay), one spray on each wrist. So, on my skin anyway... For the first ten minutes, I enjoyed the top notes of L more (sweeter, more pear than apricot/peach). For the next half hour, Maybe Baby seemed better composed (ginger lingers, and pleasing overall). Then at the hour mark, Maybe Baby was fading fast while L was going strong with its sweeter fruitiness (and if anything, I sprayed more Maybe Baby than L). Worn alone, I have a hard time telling these two apart. But side-by-side, L performs better on my skin and I slightly prefer its pear-sweetness. But both are favorites :)

I have had this gem for many years and don't wear it as often now I'm older, though still do sometimes. This is a beautiful soft, creamy lychee and cyclamen scent that is naturally sweet with a slight powdery drydown from the poppy and musk. One of the few perfumes where the peach note is blended in subtly. This is a light, bright, bubble-bath clean delicious scent that is unusual and makes you feel happy. The sillage is moderate but, for a subtle clean scent the longevity is remarkably good. I would say this is an extremely safe blind buy, not because it is generic as it's not, rather it is a scent that would be very hard to dislike.

i first used this fragrance in 2004. i was a fan for bathina line and this fragrance had similar scent. was sad to hear this was discontinued. its a soapy, musky scent that dry down into powdery musk. its a unique blend i loved it so much. its available again in some benefit counters for a limited time. they changed the bottle. i really loved the old bottle it was different and unique. the new one is just a simple slender bottle with a plastic cap. not impressed. buy hey, since its the same scent i shouldn't complain. go get a sniff before it disappear again.

I just got this....and it’s perfect. I LOVED L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani. I am seriously still heart broken that it was discontinued, and I’ve had bad luck ordering it from eBay. The last bottle of LAMB I bought was bad, and the 1.7 oz. I do have is only broken out for special occasions. I was seriously skeptical that this was going to smell like it, but I gave it a go. At first spray it smelled a tad different, but the dry down is exactly the same scent! My heart is happy! Thanks to all the ladies who commented on it😊

I am so glad I was able to get my hands on a bottle recently. I've been smitten with it for several years but wasn't sure I could commit. It is a very ladylike fruity floral that has a heavy hand of lily of the valley-ishness that can be mistaken for simple.Truely a complex blend of unique flowers like cyclamen (which I tend to be a pushover for) and litchi and apricot turn this into a girly cocktail of mischief fit for girls between 20 and 30 something.

I went through a whole bottle of this in my early/mid twenties, and I loved it. I never got a really fruity smell from it, I thought it just smelled fresh and clean, and I would douche myself in it before leaving the house. Now that I see that some of the notes are peach and apricot (yum!) I can understand why I liked it so much. Used to get so many compliments, I can't believe I have forgotten about it!

I haven't been lucky enough to own this before it was discontinued, but was lucky enough to test it a while back. Just a TEST :( LOL BUT I just bought an AMAZING dupe on etsy (handmade site) and I'm in LOVE. The dupe actually smells nicer from what I remember of the real thing. My hubby, and even my young son's love it too! lol

This was the only perfume I wore when I was 18. My best friend and I went on a spontaneous road trip, and when I sprayed Maybe Baby in the hotel room she said it was, "like, the best smelling perfume in the world." She was right!

If you need to smell this heavenly again, I highly recommend trying Glossier Fleur! The moment I smelt it I was transported back to Maybe Baby and the Bathina body balm. So nostalgic and comforting.

Not true Manevitt. I bought it here in the UK from a well known department store just a few weeks ago. Very well stocked. Only the packaging has changed, and you can only get it in 50ml.

I desperately need this to come back or someone to dupe it. I loved this and would kill to smell like this again. I wouldn’t mind going back to this day & age, too. ;)

It is girly, gentle, soft smell. It just gets what it says maybe baby. I have no complaint for it, just hoping to find a similar adorable scent that will last longer.

Ageletou, it can be bought in the UK from Boots, there is a matching mody cream set available too. I love the scent in Spring :)

to ageletou, yes this fragrance is discontinued long time ago. but its available for limited time i a different bottle.

This smells like those lychee jelly cups you find at Asian grocery stores. The best, Jerry, the best!

I love this! It's warm, fresh and cozy at the same time. Too bad the staying power is so poor.

Love it!!!!!!!!! Sweety, lovely, fruity especially I can smell of peach... It lasts not short.

According to their website, Maybe Baby will be returning in mid-August! <3

i wear when i want to smell super fruity, i get ginger and peaches, nice.
