Harajuku Lovers Baby

I have so many wonderful emotions with this perfume! It was my first "real" perfume as a teen. I remember watching Gwen's "Turning Japanese" cover where she strolled through the Harajuku District of Japan dressed in a loli outfit (Gwen created the fragrances as a tribute/gift to her crew, and while this perfume set wasn't marketed as an "oriental fragrance" the marketing around it is pretty cringe looking back from the 2020's. That said, in the 90s, my blerdy-weeb-anime-teenage-self felt seen by a mainstream celebrity who I still love to this day!) I received the set for christmas that came with the matching solids and in a way that was equally cringe, I proceeded to correlate the perfume bottles to my group of friends at the time. I was "Baby" because it was the only figurine with curly hair that kind of resembled me, ahah. But I adored wearing this fragrance all through middle school. It made me feel mature and serious (yes, the irony of the title and the prominent baby powder note is not lost on me). It made me feel empowered, because I wasn't just wearing a fragrance, but through all the experiences and interests that led me to desire this one, choosing to wear it was a sincere and earnest expression of self. And I think, in this way, it was the first fragrances I wore wholly for myself instead of others (in my teens, fragrances were just something girls wore to smell pretty for boys). I wore it as an extension of that self and to this day, powdery iris notes are among my deepest olfactory loves.

So there I was, dashing out these Harajuku Lovers fragrance reviews with zero expectations of finding one I genuinely liked better than the scent of half the products in my bathroom...and then this —the last of the five—blossomed out of the vial like an ultra-feminine fairytale-princess enchantment. The rose is sweet and jammy, but also crisp and lemony from the bergamot. The heliotrope has a smooth, marshmallow-y almond/cherry undertone that rounds out the rose note to perfection. The white florals are like a cloud of fresh, creamy pavlova, with warm highlights of orange and vanilla. And the musk puts a dreamy, soap-bubble filter over the whole thing. It's like the lovechild of Lolita Lempicka and Love Don't Be Shy, and I'm a little bit obsessed. It's a total sweetheart scent; every part of it smells delicate and confectionary, in such a girlish and pretty way. It's an anonymous Valentine. It's Taylor Swift singing, " The lingering question kept me up; 2 a.m., who do you love? " It's Giselle from Enchanted, discovering she's angry at Robert, laughing delightedly, blushing...suddenly less naive than she was the moment before. (The only downside is that I get next to no projection from it at all. It seems to be an issue with the Harajuku fragrances in general; they smell strong enough on the skin, but they project poorly.)

I am such a big huge fan of baby powder scents. I can remember my grandmother wearing the original Heaven Sent perfume by Helena Rubinstein, and how I used to hug her just to get a whiff of her comforting, pretty perfume that had a kind of baby-powderyness to it...so I've been a big fan ever since. Harajuku Lover's Baby is such a wonderful, light, baby-powdery scent that on me, dries down to a wonderful powdery vanilla and although the silliage isn't that great, I still smell it close to my skin after 8 hours. This is a great, unoffensive scent one can wear to the office without offending others, and it's an intimate scent; someone has to be very close to smell it, and when they're that close, they're in for a treat...and so are you if it's a guy and he's cute LOL! :) As a side note, I am not interested in the dolls, I'm interested in the juice, so I went on ebay and bought a 3.4 oz tester for $20. Can't beat that for the price, especially when the teeny size are $35 for half an oz!

This scent is absolutely perfect!! I adore it and wear it probably more often than any other. Do you have those days when you're rushed to get out of the house? When you don't have time to say "Ok, which fragrance am I wearing today? What's my motivation?" (LOL) Well, this is the scent I wear on those days. It's just delicate, powdery and meek. When I want to smell good but don't have time to think/feel/ponder, this is my go-to scent. It doesn't put you in a "mood" or challenge you; it just smells nice. I also adore this because although it's soft and discreet, it lasts for hours and hours. For chicks who aren't into "perfume-y" smells it's ideal. It would also be ideal for a young girl who is just starting to wear fragrance. I don't think you can go wrong with this scent.

Takeasniff, you're definitely rigth! I love to wear fragrances that remind me of baby powder, expecially when I don't want to feel like a "femme fatale", but I want on myself that clean, musky, comfortable and powdery smell; that's what I'm almost always looking for in my everyday scents! Yes, I'm a big fan of powdery scent; this one has something more than the baby powder touch: some sweet and gentle floral note of rose, orange flower, jasmin and heliotrope that make Baby a more mature scent. I find it also longlasting on my skin, so that it can make me feel calm and relaxed almost all day long!

During the work day, I try to wear perfumes that won't offend those around me. I find that baby scented perfumes are always a safe choice; however, I find that others I have purchased Ver... (Baby Jeans) was too much of a rose scent and not enough of the baby powder fresh scent that I love. This scent was perfect it has a light baby powder scent that last all day. I purchased a 1 oz. bottle at Burlington Coat Factory for $27.99. Actually I will probably go back and retrieve another bottle because I have heard that most of this Harajuku Lovers Baby cost between $35-45.

This is amazing! I never really got into the Harajuku Lovers fragrances til recently but I'm so glad I did! This is such a cozy comfort scent. It's soft and soothing and it does smell like baby powder however it's not synthetic smelling at all. It's the perfect scent for laying around the house in PJs and relaxing on cool days. The bottle is adorable but I loved this so much I purchased a full size tester off ebay so I will have more perfume. This is a very 'Innocent' clean smell and perfect for young girls who are just getting into perfume.

This bottle is so cute!!! The smell is a basic soft baby powder and when I'm in the mood I grab for it,its only on rare lounge days for me since...I have the small one,my daughter 9 begs to play with it&I only own 2 super G also,I love the detailing that Gwen Stafani put into these dolls,so original & so talented! I won't ever throw out, even when the perfume is gone,so lovely&truly Harajuku is a masterpiece as far as perfume bottles go,the scents are softer then I'm used to,but I love the scents she makes,love love love,lol.

Harajuku Lovers Baby smells like baby products! I enjoy it very much. My mom used to wash our hair with the Johnson's shampoo and now that I live in a different country than her and I can't see her very much, this one is comforting. I love this because it reminds me of my mom and my childhood. This smells like baby cologne, hence the name. It is very flowery, and you basically smell clean when wearing it. Minimalistic. I'm a teacher and I wear it at school, and it does not offend the children's noses.

I am sooo happy to finally get this in my collection. I wished for this scent for ages, and it was nowhere available. This is exactly what I was hoping for, based on the reviews. It is baby powdery, yes. But not the Guerlian L’instant magic way, It is girly, makeup-y, somehow juicy. It really reminds me of the Pussy Deluxe Superluxury perfume, that was my favouritey. I’m searching for something like this in every perfume, It’s dreamy, somehow sexy too. So good.

Oh man, this brings back memories! I think I want to cry 😢 My mum got me this on my 9th birthday. It was my signature back then. It lasts quite long. And smells great. Has a nice powdery scent, like floral baby powder. I recommend this fragrance for your kids. Great for girls aged 10-15. Suitable for school & birthday parties. My mum used to wear this perfume too. It’s pretty much great for everyone one, who wants something delicate.

So I just got this fragrance a few minutes ago and I have a feeling it is going to be one of my signatures. The sweet smell of roses is one of my absolute favorite scents and this one presents that scent in a delicate way. Its a very light, powdery scent great for fresh, spring days. I only have the small bottle but I may have to look into getting the biggest bottle available I'm already deeply in love with this scent!!

woah, okay uhm, so.. LOVE this!!! the top notes smell like baby wipes but.. thats not bad, right? and then when it calms down and gets to the base notes... UGH! its such a yummy scent, purely delicious! it doesnt remind me of a food, but it smells edible.... sort of. its not too sweet to where it hurts your nose, affordable price, mild sillage, meh longevity. Overall, 9.9/10

On me it smells EXACTLY like Jil Sanders Simply Poudree. They do have 5 of the same notes so very close.Personally I couldn't tell the difference.I wish this stayed smelling like the opening. I loved the opening. The dry down is a soft skin scented baby powder. Very light and airy. For the price it's worth it if you are a lover of baby powder perfumes.

This smells just like the original Johnson's Baby shampoo from the 70's-80's. I love it for the reminder of those days spent by the pool followed by evenings driving the country lanes in my aunt's convertible. Of course, those memories come with the scent of lashings of Bonne Bell Dr.Pepper lip balm and DVF Tatiana perfume taking over. Ah........

This perfume is one of my all time favorites, has been since I was young when the Harajuku Lovers line first came out and still is now over a decade later! To me, it almost smells like a more musky, potentially a softer version of Chanel No. 5, super sophisticated and almost has a vintage feel to it; absolutely a masterpiece.

Baby is the most simple scents from the Harajuku Lovers series. it smells like baby oil they sell in czech republic...in a little blue bottle. I must admit it has some freshness and vanilla in it as well. its light and very cute. this scent wont offend nobody again, great for summer like all of the HL fragrances

Baby Powder ! This Harajuku Lovers Perfume smells like sweet baby powder with hints of mixed flower's . I just Bought this today I could only find the small bottle here in Canda, which sucks) Its my fave HL perfume yet ! You should so buy it ! Im picking another one up very soon !

Lovely smell from my teen years that I just had to get my hands on. Really shaped the type of scents I like as an adult!! Love love love this smell, so soft, so relaxing, very much like a baby oil or the classic Loves baby soft. I personally like it a whole lot!

Just like been wrapped up in cotton wool! So powdery, an innocent baby smell. If you like a powdery smells you'll sure like this. Longevity is about 30mins and silage is no better. Would buy again if it lasted longer.

I love this perfume, I sprayed it on my skin and was immediately taken back 20 years to when i saw cats the musical i was front row my first show, so great memories! also love the bottle, she is my favorite.

Smells like a baby and I love that, who doesn't love that smell? When it dies down I smell the Tiare Flower so to me it smells a little beachy which is cool, so its kinda likea baby at the beach.

I really enjoy this on me. It is powdery and innocent like baby powder. It's very gentle and comforting and it's perfect for bedtime fragrance. I love it no matter in which season.

Best one out of the entire line. Last the longest. Most memorable too, the other ones were pretty nondescript. Baby is... well.. baby. It smells like powder with more depth.

A very innocent fragrance. Delicate like a doll. Creamy powdery and perfect for spring and summer. This and Just Cavalli Pink have something that reminds me of a geisha.

i knew i loved bergamot before i knew what it was when i tried this perfume. don’t underestimate its strength, or overspray. small but powerful. + cute on your dresser

it does smell a bit like baby shampoo but i think that does make it smell quite nice. its a floral scent and its a really nice smell. and i LOVE the pacakging :)

Beautiful powdery perfume, very pleasant, definately for younger audience. I like it but it is a bit too powdery for me, even though I like powder scents.

Sweet baby powder describes it perfectly. I love this scent and love the fact that I can wear it without irritating my baby's delicate nose.

a really cute scent i like to put on when im wearing pastel colours

jus straight up baby powder i love it i feel lik a baby

To me, Baby is the nicest one among the five original dolls. Because the ingredients in Baby doesn’t smell too synthetic/high-voltage-sugary/headache-inducing to me, while Music and Lil’Angel certainly failed to impress me because of the above reasons. However, Baby’s not wearable in a daily base, especially if you are 20+ and doesn’t want people to think your taste stays at Johnson’s-baby-lotion level. Baby smells as its name indicates, baby, with a lot of baby powder on. It starts with a burst of baby powder and every now and then, a peculiar vanilla undertone comes and goes. This vanilla-y undertone is not the bald sugary one, but more a tart, refined, Guerlain Shalimar-style vanilla. Baby could nearly be a perfect baby powder scent for me, however, there’s some subtle change in the scent’s personality that makes me critical about Baby and would opt to something more stabler. Sometimes in colder weather, baby smells colder and the violet is quit dominant and gives off a melancholy sad vibe, which just makes you feel so gloom and cold; however, in hotter weather, Baby sometimes gets clogging, somewhat too warm, and really close to Kenzo Flower’s super powdery warmth. Personally I would prefer Naughty Alice by Vivienne Westwood for its linearity, or Kenzo Flower for its personality. The scent goes pretty flat; the only change is the fresh to warmer/cosy normal change nearly every perfume goes through. Overall, Baby is a nice cute innocent perfume refinements baby powder nicely. Could be a nice bed perfume, and would work greatly on the right skin and right temperature.

Oh Baby. I remember when I was just a preteen and my best friend collected all five (at the time) of the Harajuku Lovers. This practically liquid powder was her favourite. And I remember smelling it again a couple years ago when my then-25-year-old sister left me a few unfinished bottles of perfume when she moved away. I shouldn't have been surprised when I spritzed some on and suddenly everything smelled like baby powder. She said that was the reason she loved it so much. I tried Baby again today. I knew what I was getting myself into. But I guess I thought that after all these years of collecting and wearing perfume, I would be able to detect some of the actual notes. Spoilers: I can't. It may as well scream "THERE CAN BE ONLY BABY POWDER" at me. But you know what? It's kind of nice. Soft, sweet, and oddly pleasant.

This scent is definitely in the name - if you want to smell fresh and light like a baby then this scent is for you. At first I was apprehensive because my sister said "Why not just wear baby powder" and it made my wanting to get the scent waver a bit. But once I got it and wore it, I asked her what she thought. She said that even thought it did smell like a baby from the bottle, once it goes on the skin it changes. The scent warms up once on the skin and from there the 'baby' scent fades into something with much more complexity. This scent isn't for everybody and I will only wear it when I am feeling brave because of the fear from others wanting to know who smells like a baby ^-^

This perfume is a bit of a gimmick and I'd recommend only buying it if you find it cheap, but I like it. It really smells just like baby powder with some synthetic florals. That sounds horrible, but it's not that bad. It's clean and fresh. It's the kind of thing I'll sometimes spray on before bed if I feel like wearing a fragrance, but I wouldn't recommend wearing it out as the sillage and longevity is poor, and there's better perfumes you could be wearing day to day anyway. But again, I do actually like this, although it's never impressed anybody before when I've been like "smell my wrist!"

It smells exactly as the name suggests, like a freshly washed and powdered baby... as strange as that may sound. I can smell the scent of liberal amounts of baby powder and clean, sweet baby shampoo. It's pretty ingenious actually, since the natural, clean smell of a baby is one of those universal scents that lots of people love. Since it's so simple and beautiful and pleasant it layers really well with other fragrances. I had a miniature collection of the original Harajuku Lovers fragrances and and this was the fragrance I used the most and finished first.

I purchased a small sample rollerball of the Harajuku scents at TJ Maxx for $8 today. Like many have already noted, Harajuku Lovers Baby does remind me of a baby product. With that being said, it also has a nice addition of florals, so it's not necessarily a scent I'd use on a baby. This is my second favorite in the Harajuku line, next to G. I think Baby is a very innocent, safe scent that isn't overwhelming on my skin. I think it's a very pretty scent, but I don't see myself buying this in a full size once the sample is done.

Well, as many other people said: the opening notes makes it smelling like baby powder and baby oil. But the cheap one, produced by Procter & Gamble. :S When it dries down, the other notes emerge and it smells seriously better. When I spry this I feel like I'm not wearing a perfume but that I've been using too many baby bath lotions. Not a great perfume but I still do like it. It makes me feel that I'm clean and then, there are worst fragrances out there. I like to wear it before going to bed. 6/10.

This does smell like babies. More specifically, it smells like the products made to take care of babies, like baby laundry detergent, baby powder, baby lotion, etc. But it also has some extra notes, so that if you smell someone wearing this, you'll know it's not baby lotion, it's a perfume. Some people might think I'm too old to wear this, being long past my pre-teen years, but I like the way this smells on me. I find this scent warm, comforting, cozy, and calming.

Although this ends up smelling just like baby powder on some people, I think this is one that really depends on your body's chemistry. I tried this on paper and was unimpressed, but my bf convinced me to try it on my skin and I'm glad I did. After the initial strong baby powder top notes, the orange blossom truly blossoms on me, and the violet-vanilla dry down is lovely on me. My only complaint is that it stays a bit too close to the skin after about an hour.

An x-mas gift from my little sister. Although the powdery smell is overpowering it does dry down to a nice scent. I wish the other notes were more prominent specially musk. The bottle is cute and though super small it has lasted me quite a while...I suppose it is due to the powder bomb effect of the first spray. Would I buy this for myself...probably not but I thank my little sis for giving me the gift to experience this fragrance.

I bought this a few years back for my younger sister's birthday as I knew that she liked G. Baby is a very sweet and feminine scent - it made me think of children's sweets. Not suited to everyone as it might be a little overpowering for some, it's definitely ideal for someone looking for something 'youthful' and 'girly.' This perfume would work for everday wear or could be used to layer with other fragrances.

The first perfume I ever bought. I remember seeing the cute japanese bobble head and thinking I need THAT. Didn't smell it or anything but I didn't need to. It's perfect. I dream of days where entire middle schools were filled with this smell- shampoo and makeup and baby powder and hairspray. So clean and pretty and innocent. I remember the "smokiness" of the baby powder feeling mature to me then... wow

A simple, ingenuous scent. Very baby-powdery, the bergamot top-note gives it a bit of baby-wipes/cleaning scent but it dries down quickly to a gentle, violet-and-freesia type baby powder. Alternately gives the impression of 'Grandma who liberally dusts herself with talcum powder' and 'baby's butt,' but if you can rock that, I think it's a pretty, inoffensive fragrance with a clean scent.

i like subtle scents, soapy, powerdery, so this is a great one for me, not quite as "baby" smelling as johnsons baby range, but pretty close, i find this a comforting smell & the lasting power is ok, i can see however that this may not be everyones cup of tea as it is very distinctive in its "baby" smell, i also like to spray it on my childrens clothes which they rather like!

So literal it's almost fetish-y. It just smells like a whole lot of baby powder. It makes me think of "adult babies", which creeps me out big time. It smells nice, but the mental images it puts in my head are too disturbing for me to wear this scent.

the bottle was soo cute.. the smell soo lovely.. flowery, sweet, powdery.. its good perfume and long lasting.. but its not me, because i love fruity,fresh,sweet fragrance.. remember ! i didnt say its bad.. :)

This is ok but isn't as powdery as I was hoping it would be! My main complaint is that it's a bit like air freshener or Febreeze. For a powdery fragrance I much prefer Kenzo Flower.

it has that baby smell a bit stronger thou; there's too much muskiness. i do like it and wear it once in awhile, only if musk could have been softer it would be much better

i love the powdery sweetness of the fragrance. yes it is giving baby wipes/powder but it’s addicting. it’s like baby wipes and pixi sticks💕
