Baby Shampoo

When I first sprayed this fragrance, I was instantly put off. I love the smell of baby shampoo, but this was not what I was expecting - I detected a blast of something sharp, alcoholic. Skip ahead a couple of weeks and I tried it again. Now, I'm in love with Demeter Baby Shampoo, especially after a few minutes have passed. That gives it time for the alcohol-y sharpness to wear off and its true beauty to emerge. What notes are there? I am not exactly sure. None are listed here. Chamomile, perhaps? Daisy? It is not exactly what I expected (vintage J&J baby shampoo) but it is lovely nonetheless. This is a true comfort scent. It makes me recall when my girls were little and would bathe before bedtime followed by reading books until we all fell asleep. Young mothers, cherish those times as they pass too quickly.

oh Boy! who doesnt want to smell like a Baby shampoo??!! :) sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

While compiling my newly acquired “I had” list it just completely escaped me that I actually owned this and also New Baby for awhile. I recently went down a review rabbit hole and it brought me to the Demeter fragrances and it jogged my memory. I always loved the smell of Baby Magic lotion, the original pink bottle, as opposed to Johnson and Johnson. And at the time I purchased this fragrance, my daughter was entering kindergarten and was not a baby anymore and I was feeling really sentimental. When this and New Baby arrived it totally helped satisfy my baby cravings, so to speak lol. I liked this more than New Baby however. But still didn’t love it due to the fact this smells like Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo and not Baby Magic. After awhile though, I just didn’t want to smell like these things anymore, though they were nice. I relegated them to room fresheners, particularly for the bathroom and my daughter’s room. Not a bad scent though. Clean, soapy, citrusy and nostalgic. Completely inoffensive.

So, this one intrigued me. I like clean and fresh fragrances and I also like the smell of baby shampoo. Whether it makes for a good combination on a middle aged man is debatable. From the first spray, yep - it's the scent of baby shampoo. I'm also smelling baby oil and the slightest hint of baby powder in the mix. It's simple and straightforward - no surprises. In regard to projection and longevity, two hours in and it seems to be doing quite well. Of course, with Demeter, you're not going to get absurd projection or longevity anyway. I'm doing a bit of an experiment with spraying it bare on one arm, while using a fragrance primer on the other, before spraying it on. While the arm with the primer seems to be considerably more muted in regard to projection, the question of extended longevity is yet to be answered. As I write this, admittedly, I'm feeling quite innocent and cuddly, although I'm thinking that I should probably stay inside, because if I go out, some woman might try to cradle me in her bosom. On second thought, maybe that isn't the worst idea ever.... ***** UPDATE ***** Unfortunately, with or without primer, the life of this fragrance is about 3-4 hours, so if you plan on wearing it for an extended period of time, you'll need to reapply it.

Fragrance Review For Baby Shampoo By Demeter Fragrance Notes: Mystery Notes Meant To Recreate The Smell of Baby Shampoo What will they think of next? Dog Shampoo? The best fragrance that most accurately captures the scent of a baby's head just after a nice bath is actually Caron's Royal Bain. I hoped this frag would smell like that. Not quite but not bad. It does smell like the newer formula baby shampoos. It also does smell like the sweetest softest baby's head just after a bath. Some of us really like that smell, and we don't have to be mothers to like it. I'm not a mother and have never had a baby but I do love the more pleasant smells related to babies. This is a soft and dreamy scent that I wear right before bed and after my own shower. It's a nice after shower scent to put on right before going to sleep. It helps with providing you with relaxing, soothing and comforting scents to put you into a very nice sleep. Loving it.

I am one who actually diluted REAL vintage Johnson & Johnson's Baby Shampoo into a spray bottle with some water --however just as soon as you water it down - the scent just becomes too faint. You're also left with soapy residue which is no fun....... Just got this in the mail 20 minutes ago. First blast , yes a near perfect copy of Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo (the newer version - not the older version as one astute member mentioned on here). While it's drying down there is a faint bit of Bazooka bubblegum and a twinge of banana smell--faint, but there. On my wrist this vanished in like 4 minutes BUT on my shirt I'm still getting whiffs - more or less of the Baby Shampoo minus the Bazooka & banana. What does this mean? Purrrfect bed & pillow spray to bring you into that "retro-cozy comfort zone" of childhood! Happy to have this in my "Demeter Library" but probably will not replenish when it's gone. Grade: B minus

I just ordered this and received it today directly from Demeter. This. Scent. Is. Spot. On. Oh my it is so perfect. Dead on dupe for Johnson's baby shampoo. Dead on dupe. I've been searching for a perfume in this scent since maybe 2002 and I finally found it. Not only did it master the shampoo lather scent, but the powdery after scent that lingers on the skin after you pat dry from using the shampoo. So clean, fresh, gentle, and feminine. I cannot wait to rock this will my chiffon maxi dress, freckles, and curly hair. Of course it's demeter so it'll last 3 hours, giving you sillage only about half of that lifespan, but it truly is worth extra sprays.

For those looking for a dupe of Johnson's Baby Shampoo they did put out a cologne version of it (along with a lavender version and a few others) that can be found cheaply on eBay. It is the exact scent but the staying power is almost as bad as a Demeter although better on clothes.

Doesn't smell bad, but I thought it would smell like the old version of Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo, it smells like the newer one.I like the original scent better.
