Petits et Mamans

This is one of my all-time favorites! I bought this in 07/08 at Disney Epcot, and I've worn this as one of my signature scents for years. It smells so different to me - like clean, sweet, innocent, and nostalgic, yet still unique and hard to place. It's this feeling that keeps me wearing it to this day. The scent is very powdery, which I personally love, but it could be too much for those who dislike powders. The scent is pretty linear and doesn't change too much from spray to dry down, except the feeling of it is maybe a little more rounded and creamy in the end. To picture this scent, imagine baby lotion and violets/iris, but make it high-class. The regular "baby powder" scent is made more creamy by the balance of chamomile and vanilla. And the iris in it reminds me a lot of the violet/iris in Guerlain's Insolence EDT, but this is more toned down and balanced with greenery and freshness. For me, this scent is a year round perfume. It's light and fresh enough to be worn in the summer, but still sweet and comforting enough to be worn in the winter. There's a certain magic that happens when I pair this with a sundress, but I also love matching this with a sweater or pj's (or nothing at all). It's like a little chameleon - it dresses up certain outfits while making others more cozy. The sillage and longevity are pretty moderate in terms of a perfume. People next to me can smell it, it lasts about 6 hours, and it stays better on clothes than on skin. However, it might be better than what I think it is, since I'm always surprised when I still smell it throughout the day. I can say that I will always keep a bottle of this. It is something that truly sparks joy for me. This scent also gets me a lot of compliments and inquisitions, as people seem to find the scent familiar, but usually can't place from where. It's just different enough to not immediately remind ppl of baby powder (which is good, bc I don't want them to immediately think of baby powder when I walk by). For those really keen on placing the scent, the best description that "clicks" for them is when I say, "It smells like a fancy, sexy, baby." And it does, but in the best way.

If you want a more grown up version of this, try Heaven Sent by Dana. It's addictive, and much more powerful, though still soft, clean and powdery. If baby is wearing this, mama, try that. Surprisingly though it carries several similar notes, there is still a big difference in shared notes, but if you smell them side by side, you will easily see the similarities. Both lovely perfumes. I love a powdery perfume for after a shower, before bed, or just to cozy up with. I really enjoy layering my powdery scents to make my own. Right now as I'm traveling and away from my collection, I've managed to score some lovely perfumes and have been layering Petits et Mamans with English Laundry's Pink Brilliance and sometimes Abbey, which has La Vie en Rose DNA (huge compliments on this combo) but will sometimes mist on anais anais, or Nina Ricci's Lair du Temps. The powder!! Give me all the powder!!! I don't have a baby in my life, and thought it was insane that people sprayed perfume on their babies skin, but I can see how this one would work on a baby. It's soft, clean and cozy. Very gentle/mild and doesn't offend at all. It's a bit like the smell of our Magic Nursery Baby's head - remember those dolls in the 90s? Or the baby Cabbage Patch kids from way back, the ones with the bald head that had a scent. Slightly less sweet but in that level of powderiness. If you love powdery soapy clean scents, get this. If it's not strong enough for you, layer it with something else to soften another perfume. But it's definitely not worth the full price of it. I blindly paid 22$ each for (2) 30ml bottles at Shoppers Drug Mart, without smelling them just based on reviews here. No regrets! It was a steal - I knew I'd love it, and I do. Can't stop spraying it though.. it doesn't last long on its own, but also I think I'm addicted to it now.

I would think that the powder note would make this workable for most people but after reading all the comments, I guess this is another scent that has to work with your body chemistry....It does with mine and thats good enough for me. No one so far has accused it of smelling like baby products on me. Anyhow, fast forward a year later and I cant love this fragrance enough. I'am SO glad I wore it at my wedding. Mostly because it was just SO beautiful a match. The powder note was SO nice and calming. People were commenting on it all night after they'd hug me. My father in law said he was pleasantly surprised at my choice in perfume and when I asked him why, he said every wedding he went to, the brides wore these gagging floral monstrosities and doused themselves like a teenage boy before a date lol!!! He said he liked that it was subtle and that you had to get close to smell it. He said it smelled soft and sweet and very innocent (probably the powder note lol) Best of all, it didn't ruin my dress (the non alcohol factor was BIG. The HELL I was gonna put on ANYTHING chemical or oily anywhere NEAR my Kenneth Pool gown ). I live in a tropical climate and my wedding was close to evening but still humid and it was nice because this didn't turn on me, even after dancing. I wear it now to bed and its still such a personal scent. Good memories....

This is so CUTE! I am not a mother or a baby, but I love this little powdery beauty. When friends ask me what I'm wearing and I ask them to guess they always say "baby powder?". This smells like a sweet powder with a touch of fruit and flowers. I get some of the chamomile and the sunflower and I also perceive a hint of peach. This is really soft, so I really don't get much of the orange or the bergamot, which are really fresh notes to me; there's nothing fresh about this one, but it's not heavy or sickly sweet either. It's just powdery heaven! I'm guessing the iris flower also contributes to it. Also, this lasts for a long time and it projects really well. By the way, this also smells expensive (it's Bvlgari after all, isn't it?), so don't expect some generic smelling baby powder. This is soft, beautiful and even quite elegant. I can see an adult woman or a child wearing this equally, so it doesn't smell like a baby "cologne" or anything like that. If I ever have a baby I wold love her/him to smell like this. This really is a beauty!

Unfortunately, the current situation the fragrance market is in gave the people an olfactory impairment, so they’ll log into this site and write that this smells like baby wipes. I’m sorry for them. However, if you can still use your nose properly, here’s my true review: This was my first fragrance ever, I was 9 when I got it as a gift. I wouldn’t say it smells like childhood, but it does smell youthful, innocent and pure, it’s a very “bright” smell. I would wear this everyday, especially in the winter and in the spring, to smell something good on my commute. It never fails to make me feel ladylike, put together, clean, angelic. It has an amazing longevity, despite being an eau de toilette. I would still smell it on my clothes 10 hours into the day. I don’t really see why would they discontinue this little masterpiece, when it’s such a staple in the perfume world. Crazy. EDIT: yes, it is discontinued, it’s no longer listed on Bvlgari’s official website and it’s getting rarer and more expensive to buy everywhere. 😢 sad!

I had a bottle and an alcohol version. I liked it. It's a comforting, subtle powdery fragrance and the powder in it is specific, as if it was wet and a bit sour but in a pleasant way. It's good to use it when you want something mild and delicate and believe me, even if somebody may think" "What to use such fragrance for?" it really may cause a man you love and you aren't married yet to think about you like about your future wife the guy would like to have kids with some day - because Petits and Mamans give safety and warmth, something people crave even if they don't show it. When it comes to notes, I can detect camomille the most, then peach, orris, maybe a hint of rose and sunflower. The fragrance isn't all about baby and safety, you know. Iris gives it a darker touch and the fragrance is a bit like Guerlain powder smells in a good meaning ot these words. Quality is at least like Aqua Allegorias or in some cases - better. Thumbs up!

I work with babies so I wanted a gentle, understated, and comforting fragrance for everyday wear. This was a blind buy and love at first spritz. The powdery opening fades quickly and what remains for a surprisingly long time is this soft yet somewhat lactonic zestiness that is so innocently elegant. It is clean and fresh without being soapy, musky, or aldehydic. It does not smell like an actual baby or nursery. I find this very discreetly sophisticated but it’s not hard to imagine a child wearing it. If I apply it before bed I can easily smell it the next morning so, especially for an EDT, it has excellent longevity which speaks to the high quality of ingredients. It is also worth mentioning that the bottle is heartbreakingly attractive and the cap has a Memphis Milano vibe that really speaks to me. It’s so cute that I have it on display apart from my other perfumes because it’s just that special.

"CITRUS STAINED BABY" * Sunflower. * Baby Powder. * Camomile. Sunflower: The Ultimate Gentleman. Extremely thick-stemmed strong flowers that grow into astonishing heights, yet is so delicate and smells absolutely pure and innocent. They're my favourite flower, out of all of them. Camomile: A Nurturing Mother. A bouquet of camomiles set centre stage in a nursery. Babies looking up at the camomiles, sniffling softly before they fall into a deep slumber. The only flower that can calm down the soul (and the skin!), giving it a mothering characteristic. Lemon, Orange, Iris: Distinctive Traits. Gives this perfume a light punch that, without overpowering the powdery assets, harmonizes beautifully with the florals up above. A beautiful fragrance that's so relaxing and pretty. Smelling it yourself is the best solution to satisfy your craving to encounter such a delicate powder fragrance. Absolutely Adored.

This is my go-to bedtime scent after a nice shower. First I smell soft fresh wood with a subtle citrus whiff. Then it turns to freshly washed linen infused with chamomile that’s hanging in the backyard which is filled with sunflowers, you can get whiffs of roses that are growing in the neighbors garden. In the drydown I smell lightly sweetened vanilla baby powder with camomile in the background and all of the other notes underneath, are projected intimate and very lightly. It’s such a soft elegant fresh nudish smell. Almost like baby marshmallows.. or maybe just the powder of those baby marshmallows. I never wear it outside or else I would feel naked, violated even, because this scent is only for intimate occasions. It’s special to me and when I wear this I feel like a rich baby princess with my slinky satin pyjama’s in my freshly washed bed linen 👼🏽🤍👑

This is a very special scent to me. I was looking for special scent for my son when he was born and I tried so many fragrances but only this stands out and captured my heart! I was so happy I found this. It is a unique wonderful fragrance for me and my baby. This opens a bit citrusy floral then and transforms into a very powdery, a bit sweet scent. Lovely notes that is perfectly blended. There is nothing heady or overwhelming notes that you'll not going to love it. It's like a gentle breeze bringing a scent that is fresh and clean, innocent and calming. And I very much love it. This is my son's signature scent since then! He is now turning 6 and still love this scent everytime I spray him. It soothes him, likewise I love wearing this too. I find it very subtle and delicate. It's just beautiful.

Well, this is a very subtle, clean, simple and calming fragrance. It is not to be used when you're meeting up with some high-end friends/colleagues; go to a corporate meeting etc for it could send them the wrong message. But like everyone, once a while, you miss your childhood; you miss the innoncence,you're tired and you just want to indulge yourself in simplicity, this is it. It has this powdery, light scent from the chamomile+talc, hint of airy sweet-thing that is to me, pleasant. It's the very light version of Bvlgari BLV pour homme, like 0.15% of BLV Pour Homme which i could spot that 'powdery' hint once in a while that smelled actually like petit et mamans. If you dont want to smell anything 'childish', don't use it. But if you want to smell just the way you are, this is it :)

This is your favourite teddy bear, your cuddly blanket, your mother's kind smile, a night-night kiss. This is the Sunday morning in July when you were 6 years old. This is how everything seems and feels when you're innocent and fragile: green grass, blue skies, and absence of sin in any shape or form. This is the fragrance that will make you cry for your innocence, but still lull you to sleep, giving you a glimpse of that lost world in those few seconds before the waking ends and sleep begins. I use it when I feel especially fragile as a bed fragrance. It's too precious to be worn outside in the cruel world. I'm not particularly an emotional person, and I'm definitely not the kind that gets overwhelmed from smelling perfume, but this one honestly made me cry.

I have been wearing this fragrance for years. It is amazing to me just how many people who come within my scent-circle absolutely LOVE the way I smell!! For all you naysayers(FairyDust)etc......,please remember that all scents smell differently on everyone -also, certain scents evoke great memories too. I hope you don't miss out on something beautiful because of something negative another comments & this goes for ALL other fragrances too. Scent is just too personal to go by what anyone else(especially a stranger)writes in a "review".

This is so lovely, honestly, one of the best powdery, creamy scents I have tried to far. The chamomile element is very prominent and sweet there. The longevity is decent for a "baby" fragrance (it lasts few hours on my skin), sillage is rather intimate/moderate, I would say, but still I would give it a go if you love powdery/comforting scents. Best to wear after shower/for bed. :) Also for me, this fragrance is rather unique as normally I don ́t notice a sweet chamomile note anywhere in perfumes.

My everyday scent! I bought this at the very start of this year (2020) and it has really comfort me! My husband loves this on me more then anything else cause its smells so clean and warm if that makes sense! A mix of vanilla, peach, tea and baby powder! Does not smell like your average baby products! Definitely a keeper! (I also bought L Eau blanc by lolita Lempicka but that really smells like baby wipes on me, I read some reviews that it smells like petits et mama but it really doesn't)

This is truly a gem. I wish this was still available in my country. Definitely brings a nostalgic memory from my childhood. It reminds me of a nursery bag filled with soft powder scented diapers, baby clothes and innocence. There is no other perfume that I can imagine to compete with this one for me, the only downside is the scent disappears so quick. Sometimes I can't find enough time to enjoy without reapplying. I like to use it just before bed to enjoy till I fall asleep.

my very first fragrance and love. My mom purchased this in the late 90's when it first came out and I loved spraying it on as a young kid. Very calming and classy fragrance, even though it's powdery it never smelled like baby powder, in fact it was way more fresh thanks to the fruits despite the iris/powder. The chamomile/vanilla/iris trio were just absolutely heavenly. This is still one of the best young child perfumes, I love this more than most designer fragrances.

I definitely get the baby powder thing but it almost has a marshmallowy smell to me that just makes it irresistable. It doesnt last long which is sad but I think if it hung around for too long, it might not be so appealing. Anyway, I bought it to wear for my wedding. I'm just too sick of the Vera Wamg dresses and white florals for weddings...ugh! No offense to anyone who picked those and theres something to be said for going with the classic crowd...just not me.

So soft and delicate. It’s a very nostalgic scent for me, my aunt used to wear this in my childhood. It starts off with a soft daisy scented powder followed by a nice brush of brazilian rosewood and iris, all sitting on a bed of cozy vanilla. If you’re someone who’s easily offended by fragrance, this would be perfect for you. My boyfriend who is super sensitive to smells loves this one on me, he always says how i just smell “so nice and clean-mmmmm”

i am not a mother but i am a bvlgari fan and this is just another of their fragrances that i love. it's all baby powder, talc-y, clean and calming. quite similar to moschino l'eau cheap and chic but without the sense it is a fragrance. perfect for hot weather to enhance that fresh, clean smell rather than ramping up any 'sticky' perfume smell. simple but beautiful. another bvlgari hit for me.
