Buttercup Babe

The Softest Buttercup... This reminds me of the slogan 'Just Breathe'. To be honest, I have no idea what a buttercup smells like, or if it's a fantasy floral note, but in my imagination this could be it. The notes are a little hard to interpret here, but this is the one of the softest, butteriest floral-musk freshies I've come across. The citrus accord reads more like mild fruit to me - muted pear or pear-apple. The floral bouquet is an ethereal mix including lily, peony and something near mimosa. Soft woods are there merely as floral support in the base. Overall this is a gorgeous, light floral-musk freshie with average performance for a spring-summer wearing experience, but could be worn in cooler months as an understated skin scent. Enjoy! Update 07/15/24: Sprayed this one on today and it's aging nicely. Definitely a blossom vibe - I'm getting something close to pear-blossom & water-lily, partially built with lily & peony. Not quite as light as before, but still a light spring-summer scent. Really enjoying the pear blossom vibe. Update 08/02/25: Now that this has aged quite a bit, I seem to be getting a soft green apple or at least an apple-blossom out of what I once thought was a pear-blossom note. That along with the fresh soft florals. Love it.

Perfect light floral summer fragrance. The peony, magnolia stand out with a slight hint of freesia and lily to create a well balanced mix of floral dewy freshness. The aquatic is more of a light fresh morning dew on white flowers than a defined oceanic aquatic scent. Dry down retains that fresh floral , with a soft musky light citrus woodsy scent that lingers close to the skin. Lasts a few hours before reapplication, but you want that light fresh floral scent in the summer heat. Price point is great, and a safe blind buy. Would definitely add this to my summer fragrance list again. I feel feminine and pretty wearing it.

One of my favorite scents ever. Light, fresh, dewy floral with fruity and grassy components. Green grape, melon. Daisies. Very light lily. Peony. Freesia. Not quite aquatic, but has qualities of the category. Reminds me of Issey Miyake's L'eau. Maybe a bit of Britney Spears Curious. It's so happy, and fresh. There is a tiny bit of sweetness there, but I wouldn't classify it as 'sweet' the way people classify a 'sweet fragrance' today (Pink Sugar, Cloud etc). Like the way wine can be classified as 'sweet' without being very sweet when it's compared to a dessert. Very glad they created a database entry for this.

Thank you for finally adding this one to the database! Blind buy that became a fast favourite. Floral, aquatic, and light - perfect for everyday wear. If you’ve missed Jardin des Nymphes by Yves Rocher, this is your dupe.

I got this in a set when it was on sale at Macy's online last month. The box and bottle is so pretty with all the little butterflies which I love. It was a blind buy but based on notes in description It came with a full size spray, a purse sized spray, a shimmering body oil and body lotion. I like the scent. It is light, airy, aquatic but like another reviewer said, not in a heavy oceanic kind of way but in a morning dew or rain kind of way. It's a happy, lighthearted, fun kind of scent and very non offensive in a work setting or close quarters. The sillage is not strong, more skin close but with some projection and the longevity is only a few hours but the purse spray is handy to top up anywhere. I'm sorry to say but the oil and the lotion do not have much scent and what's there is short lived but they do moisturize the skin and serve as a base for the spray to cling to. A safe buy for yourself or for a gift as it is nicely presented and the price is right, especially on sale, lol. Can be worn by any age.

FAIRY SCENT: I absolutely enjoy this beautiful, happy scent. It's floral without being powdery, very youthful, bright and fresh. I think this would be a gorgeous starter scent for a tween or teen just getting into fragrance, but equally, I'm 37 and I feel completely comfortable wearing this. I feel like I'm a fairy walking around a beautiful, sun-lit meadow full of green grass and wildflowers under a brilliant blue sky. I got this perfume as my first sample from Scent Bird. I've since cancelled my Scent Bird subscription as I realized it wasn't really worth the money they were charging me, but I'm super happy that this was my first (and only) choice from them. If you want a safe blind buy as a gift for someone, or even yourself, this will absolutely bring a smile to your face and a feeling of joy to your heart. And the price really cannot be beat. I'm going to see if my 13-year-old would like this scent and if so, give it to her. I've got Marc Jacobs Daisy which is similar.

This is probably a hot take, but I think this scent really comes alive in winter. Hear me out. Buttercup Babe has all the makings of a summer scent. It's fresh and aquatic. A bright, syrupy, freesia sweetheart. While there is nothing grassy in it, I get an accompanying visual of dew-touched meadows. If Tinkerbell had a perfume, this would be her scent. A sundress is proper dress code when spraying this on you. But in summer I find this perfume maybe a touch dulled, and thick, like when you visit a public pool and smell the humid chlorine cloud all around you. It floated on me glumly, and I remembered it being a lot more spirited in the past. I put Buttercup Babe away a few months ago because I was just not experiencing the appeal when the weather got hot. I am now wearing this in winter and it's nothing like how I remembered it a season ago. The smell is sweeter, more dewy, and crystal clear. It is not as muddled.

Buttercup Babe strongly resembles J'adore Perfum d'eau when you first spray it. The top notes smell similar to my nose. However unlike J'adore, Buttercup Babe stays pretty linear. The fruity shampoo smell that you get on the first spray stays through dry down. It's nice, but not really anything special or unique. I think it would be lovely in the spring before the weather turned too hot, or even as a bed scent. If you love the opening of J'adore Perfume d'eau and wished it stuck around then this one is for you!

Nice scent, but so weak you have to spray a lot on and it doesn't last. Coul be used as a body spray, but an expensive one

Fresh out of the shower shampoo type of scent. While I love those types of scents, this one hardly lasts a full hour. It also has to be used within the year, otherwise it turns into more of a hairspray type of smell due to the alcohol content. I've never experienced a perfume that did that. This could be a staple perfume if not for the poor longevity and weird hairspray smell after 8 months. I normally hate reformulations, but I hope they reformulate the heck out of this.

Smells like apple juice and hair mousse...
