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.

Full of reminiscences of my teens😍😍 I was using this perfume about 20years ago and I bought it again just few days before. It still smells just wonderful... Im so melted.. How can they make this cute babyish scent with also classy and posh at the same time? Its not just simple floral powder powdery scent, it is so magical. Im still in love with this and always will.

If you’re looking for a similar fragrance like Lolita Lempicka’s L’eau en Blanc, I cannot say Petits et Mamans is the one. It smells almost like baby wipes for me (not that I hate it), clean and very very powdery. Gotta say I like Petits et Mamans as it is, because it’s safe for daily wear. It reminds you of freshly bathed babies.

This is my all time favorite for bedtime perfume. It make me calm and relax at night. The peach note are prominent to me, and some mild powdery note that not over powdering. It just right, I do Detect some chamomile and sunflower but no roses in my opinion. Love them, when you want something to help you sleep. Go for this one.

the only powder i have EVER liked and enjoy wearing. Light and airy, it has a nice vanilla dry down, but out of the bottle it does smell like a just bathed baby. i bought this during early motherhood and delight every time i spray it on. definitely a light springy fragrance.

I will write this review based on my memory of it, so take it with a grain of salt. This was the perfume I had as a kid, my first entry into fragrance technically speaking and it evokes very strong nostalgia to me. Smells clean and simple with a floral hint to it.

One of my all time favourite scents for when I want to smell clean and fresh. One of my all time favourite scents, period!! It's just beautiful! It's a sweet, peachy, powdery, woody scent. So comforting, so calming, so soft, and absolutely gorgeous! 10/10

I really like some perfumes that are just a whisper, it does not matter if people only perceive them as faint. Petits et Mamans is proof of this, it is lovely talcum powder and soothing paste on my skin, it is so intimate and I love it immensely.

This was one of my first perfumes (and one that made me fall in love with this world) and I was looking forward to repurchase it but now I’m afraid the reformulation won’t do justice to the memories of this beautiful, soft and cozy fragrance

My second blind purchase... after review here I loveee it As already someone wrote it smells like blue nivea and it is very similar to pour femme only little bit softer Beautiful bvlgari style clean powdery scent

My mum bought this for me and her when I was about 5, and I’ve loved the scent ever since. It’s so innocent and pure, the powder and the camomile is so gorgeous. Buy this if you like very soft and quiet scents.

I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH! It's my first fragrance and the beloved one! It brings me back to childhood, memorize the fantastic happy moment with my mom.

Very innocent fragrance. I can wear this when the temps start hitting 110+ degrees without getting that "stale" scent other perfumes leave on me.

This is the beste “baby powder” scent I have ever come across. Its so comforting and soft. I find its perfect for lazy weekends and summer days.

Powdery, a smell of innocence and freshness that stays all day. it's not an overpowering sweetness like VS or the like as others would say.

very powdery and baby-like. Warning it can get cloying very fast and projects massively. Unique scent on the market but feels familiar

One of the most soothing scents I have every wore. I love the alcohol free splash. Safe for mother and child. Beautiful shower gift.

Haha I love this one and Im 20! I love wearing it to school and when I just want to feel fresh and comfortable

I just heard that they have discontinued this fragrance, and it’s no longer being produced!!! 💔

I just love that perfume . Only bad side for me is week longevity, about one hour not more :(

perfect flufy, powder, baby smell, but not so baby. Just perfect, confy smell.

i love this but i’ve had it for years and it kinda smells like piss now

Сладурски, харесвам си го, при определено настроениие.

I love this fragrace - it reminds me of my baby boy

This is a lovely quiet scent for those days when you want a little perfume but not a lot, something gentle and soft in the background so you feel fragranced but not overtly perfumed. If that makes any sense! I am actually now halfway down my third bottle of this, it works its quite charm and has become a wardrobe staple for me. I don't reach for it that often now, but when I need it, I like to know it is there! I am surprised that orange is listed quite far down the notes as for me I get quite a lot of orange from this, in the opening and drydown. It opens quietly with orange, bergamot, a hint of powder and a little vanilla. Once it warms into the skin the vanilla, chamomile and rosewood come forth with a hint of very gentle iris and rose in the background, very subtle, to me they are less there as notes themselves and more to add balance and depth. After a few hours the orange becomes more pronounced on me, with gentle chamomile, vanilla and powder as a faint backing. This really is pretty much a skin scent and one to enjoy for yourself when you want to feel clean, pampered, pure. It works equally well in warm or cold although I find the orange more pronounced the cooler it is. Sillage is gentle, I can smell it on myself but I doubt anyone else would smell it unless they were in my personal space, so I see why it would be a nice smell to wear if you had small children. It doesn't overpower but if they were cuddling you they'd get those gentle clean hints of fragrance. I have the edt version with alcohol and actually find longevity pretty good, this lasts 6-7 hours on me, albeit quietly.

Just picked this up again after having worn this on a daily basis 5-6 years ago. I think I used up my second bottle and didn't buy it again. Well ....here I am again. 6 years later, more mature taste/nose. It smells like sweet baby powder but has an alcoholic citrus opening that I don't particularly enjoy. Wait a few minutes for it to dry down to a warmer, sweeter powder scent. It's on its way now...after a few more minutes, the powder gets stronger and more powerful with a hint of violet and good dose of vanilla. It has now reached its destination. Vanilla, violet/irisy baby powder that reminds you of the warm moments you may get with you that baby you once kissed softly on its Chubby cheek. Remember that moment ? The moment you had an adorable, warm exchange with a soft, happy, chubby baby ? Well this is what this smells like. I'm actually happy that it stays close to the skin just like how close you have to get to a baby to hug him/her and smell their pure sweet scent after they've just been changed. I'm happy I bought this again. I'll spray the non alcoholic version on my future baby and she'll wear it until she's old enough to ask to change to another perfume of her choice. ♥️

This is a very soothing fragrance, I love the fact that it is alcohol free, yet longevity is really good for a fragrance one would think would last minutes. It opens up with iris, chamomile, and talcum powder, chamomile and iris being very present, and dries down to a baby wipe smell. It is very nice and soothing, very very reminiscent of those Johnson's Baby wipes. Sillage and projection are moderate, I would not say this sits that close to the skin (maybe I am anosmic to some scents, but I have had much more imperceptible scents in the past). Longevity is really good for a clean/laundry like scent - they all usually last for an hour or so on me. A much better and cheaper alternative to Infusion D'Iris or other extremely overpriced clean smells. I adore the bottle and the packaging too. Edit: longevity is HUGE. Just took a shower and I still smell it. It's been 12 hours already plus a shower. Wow.

Bvlgari Petits et Mamans is a very soft and gentle fragrance. It is meant to stay close to skin so sillage is very mild, if any. This is on the positive side if you, like me, have chosen it for your pregnancy period. Being alcohol free, it is really delicate and does not offend senses in any way. Having read that, you might suppose longevity is short, which, to my greatest surprise, is not the truth - this scent lasts a good amount of around 4 hours so that you can admire its softness longer than expected. I love the beautiful daisy combined with that baby like powdery aroma, gives me an innocent feeling, as if I have reached for a white cloud and puffed myself in it :) I truly recommend Bvlgari Petits et Mamans to everyone who would appreciate a quality baby powder type of scent, it is as delightful as the associations it brings.

Very soft scent. I love Bvlgari fragrances, and this is no exception, but it does not last. Another reviewer mentioned its staying power on clothing, and that is true for me too. Literally 1/2 hour after I used the body wash and EDT, colleagues could not smell it on me, but every time I turned my head, I caught a whiff of soft floral powder. This happened all day long; no one could smell me but me. It is a nice, soft, inoffensive fragrance, but I won't get it again. Although I don't want my scent to smack my colleagues and patients in their faces, it was disconcerting to be the only person smelling this. I didn't think this smelled baby-like, per se, but it is very soft, a little powdery and without much sillage. Since I have a bottle, I will be wearing it to bed...it is rather soothing.

I used it 20 years ago. I recently tried the fragrance at duty free, and my memories evoked. I went Sasa to buy it today. They sell genuine goods in bargain price, but the perfume smells different from duty free tester I tried. The duty free tester is the same fragrance smelling like 20 years ago. The bottle I bought is made in 2021. The smell is roughly the same, but it is obviously lighter and more airy. The powdery feeling is dryer. Vanilla and milk note is less prominent. It must have been reformulated. No matter in old days or now, this fragrance is not most exciting or exquisite perfume you may find, but the scent is comfortable and well balanced. Longervity is there. It is great for bedtime fragrance, and the price is so affordable. Suitable for youngster or adult.

I bought this for my niece’s 4th birthday because she loves perfumes, just like her auntie :) when I helped her spray some on, I was surprised to discover how comforting this fragrance actually is! It reminds me of cabbage patch kid heads, the ones that were baby powder scented. It was so nostalgic I bought a bottle for myself. All this time I thought this scent was just for covering up that sour milk meets poo baby stench, but this is actually a nice, simple fragrance on its own terms. Don’t let the name put you off trying it, or dismiss it as a kids only scent, though I highly recommend it as a gift for the little ones- boys or girls. I think pretty much every age or gender could enjoy this charming, clean, and incredibly affordable little scent.
