Baby Bouquet

I have always had a love and nostalgia for the Happy line of fragrances from Clinique (Happy Heart was my very first grownup fragrance purchase). I've always been a bit intrigued by their layering scents but hadn't really found them worth purchasing until I sampled Baby Bouquet. Baby Bouquet very much fits within the Happy fragrance family. It has that mandarin orange that connects them all and helps it smell fresh and... happy! But it contains notes that make it feel cozy, soapy, and perhaps a hint powdery without coming across like the pencil shavings or fabric softener. It strikes a delicate balance that prevents it from being too much. For something with baby in the name, the mix of notes almost gives it a unisex quality — not too feminine, not too masculine, just somewhere in the middle, possibly leaning more feminine. But certainly, depending on how you layer it, it could go either way. That being said, it's lovely on its own. I don't see a comparison between this and Born Lovely, if I'm honest. I tried Born Lovely at a local Shoppers where you can currently snag it for $20 CAD and was almost instantly disappointed. They share mild similarities, but Baby Bouquet undoubtedly has the same DNA as Happy, whereas Born Lovely lacks these entirely (and, to be frank, smells like you would expect a cheapy perfume to smell).

the most perfect "drop d'issey" by issey miyake dupe! ultra fresh and bright white floral, like dew drops on a jasmine. the orange note is soft and subdued, adding a citrusy zing to an otherwise sweet, floral fragrance. reminds me of the book "White Oleander" by Janet Fitch, especially Astrid's time with Claire.

Spicy, powdery, bright. Baby Bouquet managed to take all the notes that I normally don’t gravitate towards, and mix them together in such a way that is really delightful to me. It’s not overpoweringly floral, but it is floral. It’s a good one. I wish it lasted longer on me.

This is a very pretty citrusy floral that is super fresh and light with with a very slight minty note. It's definitely a fresh out of the shower, warm spring day kind of a scent. It has pretty weak longevity, but for the price, it's a nice little find.

So gentle and pretty. A classic white floral that’s soft, fresh, and light. It doesn’t last long, but I like it as a bedtime scent. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

I like the idea of this line. Different perfumes for different tastes. But not all of the genres are executed properly which is a shame. The 3 best in this line are Baby Bouquet which is a pretty lily of the valley/white floral for spring/summer. Cookies and Kisses a good gourmand, smells like choc chip cookie dough. And Peony Picnic smells like fruitiness mixed w/ peonies and light woody notes. The others in this line are a hot mess. The did not execute a fresh laundry smell properly w/ Indigo Mist, it is obnoxious and much to loud. Coco and Cashmere is not a well-executed chocolate perfume and Lily of the Beach is the worst beach tropical perfume I have ever smelled. That being said Baby bouquet is a darling little perfume. I really liked this one a lot, in fact I got a bottle free w/ my ULTA points today. It's such a tiny bottle (I don't need any more full ones) that it won't take long to use. Fresh petitgrain, and mint open up and brighten this jasmine sambac and lily of the valley dominate perfume. I kept swearing when I smelled this that I actually had real lily of the valleys in my hands. It smells that close to my memory of the living flower. I smelled them often as a kid/teen because they grew wild in the woods on our property and in the state game land woods, which I frequently walked through while bird watching and just enjoying nature. Fresh, green, classic white floral that will be easy to wear when the temps rise. Classy, ladylike, crisp and on point. Perfect summer white dress on a picnic floral. And a floral that someone my age (52) or someone younger will gravitate towards. It has that ageless/timeless feel about it.

I just gave away my bottle, and it feels bittersweet. To me it’s a solid lily-of-the-valley, sparkling and fresh, but it can get a little chemically at times, a little harsh. I got through 50% of the bottle. Then my collection needed culling so away it went. I only (blind) bought this one because a reviewer mentioned it smelled like Freckled and Beautiful (obsessed), and straight out the box, it did actually smell like FAB combined with the citrusy and fun original Clinique Happy. But the first spray was the only time I got FAB :( From then on it has just been lily-of-the-valley. I don’t know what happened. Cool weather only perfume. It’s too much for warm weather in my experience.

The name is a pity. I never would have been interested in it if it weren’t part of a sampler pack, since I’m a nearly middle aged woman who doesn't want to smell like an infant. Which is too bad because it’s a solid 4/5 for me. A good lily jasmine with a hint of powder and a hint of sweetness. Definitely white but not too indolic. It’s got some space and airiness to it, as opposed to rich and dense. Good for when you love white florals but you’re going to be in close quarters with people.

A pleasant white floral; I do pick up on the mint and orange, but they are very light. This is a well-blended scent in which no particular note stands out. It is powdery and fresh, and slightly sweet. Would be good for layering, which seems to be the purpose of this line. You could wear it by itself and it would still work. I think this would be perfect for a young person in summertime.

I was putting off testing this one because with a name like Baby Bouquet, I was fully expecting a baby powder/wet wipe grandma fragrance (sorry!). Instead, this is a very nice and surprisingly fresh and bright white floral, with a slightly softer musky dry down. Good for summer wear with a welcome hint of citrus and mint, not too strong or overpowering

I like this perfume. It's giving me a sweet lily and orange blossom mist that reminds me a lot of Tresor, but with a more intimate sillage and a more powdery dry-down. I will definitely wear this one again, though it won me over less immediately than the Cocoa & Cashmere did.

smells of its namesake - a bouquet of flowers. it smells like spring is assaulting your senses. lovely if you're into that, but personally it was a bit too much for me and smelled like a headache. if you're looking for the scent of "needing allegra", this is the one for you.

I mostly wear this to the office as it’s very office-appropriate imo and I have the handbag size which fits perfectly in my makeup bag. As the review below says, this is a white floral without being overpowering. It’s very inoffensive, feminine and put-together.

This is my second favorite of the line after Lily of the Beach. I think it's classy and a good bargain for what it exudes. Very wearable for a lot of people.

I like this scent, it's subtle yet cute! I was afraid that this perfume would smell baby-ish, but it really smells great for adults. Smells like spring!

I understand that the "my happy" line is meant to be layered on each other but I wish they were stronger.

I received a sample as part of sample pack from Ulta. This is very citrusy mixed with flowers. Maybe it's lily of the valley. It's more unisex because I think a man could wear this if he likes floral scents. I had a sample of A Lab on Fire's Freckled and Beautiful and this smells very similar, but Baby Bouquet is stronger.

I hate this. It smells like spring but in the worst way possible. An absolute blast of white flowers. It’s the scent in the air before a terrible allergy attack. This is just floral to the max and way too much. Very outdated. Reminds me of a puffy pink dress from the 80s. Luckily I have just the travel size of this but will be giving it away.

This perfume has an aroma that I simply cannot stand and it is common in many perfumes... to smell like this it would smell better like soap, I'm sorry, it's my opinion, I still keep it in case I can give it to someone in the future.

i loved the top notes but hated the dry down
