Not Your Baby

This one was super surprising to me. I do not, as a rule, like powdery perfumes. The opening notes in this one cannot be described as anything but powdery. However, at least to my nose, it does not give baby powder. I think it is the powder note most often associated with violet that I pick up on. I can't honestly say that I detect cardamom, mimosa, Tonka bean, sandalwood, or vanilla as individual notes, but I think they come together to make an innocent sweetness that I just love. It's probably been 30 or more years since I last smelled Love's Baby Soft, but when I first encountered Not Your Baby, I got a very strong memory that took me back to middle school dances. It's not a replica, but it's Baby Soft's sophisticated older sister--still innocent, but with a touch of sensuality. It's a perfect every day perfume and light enough for wear around people who don't like fragrance. It doesn't project far--maybe arm's length--but it does last all day.

Well, I have had a baby, and nothing about this perfume reminds me of baby wipes. It reminds me more of milky baby’s breath. It also reminds me very much of a fragrance I loved a long time ago by Crabtree & Evelyn, called Susanna. It came in the sweetest baby-pink packaging. I was probably 12 when I fell in love with it and bought a tiny bottle. I still have the bottle! It was a sweet, soft and innocent floral. I always got the image of pink baby roses. This smells so similar to Susanna but with an added note of warm milk. I detect mimosa and a hint of violet in the mix. It becomes increasingly milky into the heart and base--and it's the best milk note I have ever come across in a perfume. Reminds me of condensed milk. Nuclear strength, this perfume! One spray in the morning is still radiating straight to my nose 6 hours later. I’m so glad I discovered this! Thought I’d never smell “Susanna” again! This is like a creamy gourmand version of it.

Love this one. It is strong from first spray, with a prominent violet note. Overall it is a powdery sweet violet scent with a hit of spice and vanilla. After a half hour or so the violet calms a little and it becomes more blended and the individual notes are not quite as distinct. As it progresses it becomes almost a skin scent, clean, powdery, fresh. There is absolutely no fecal or even fruity smell - I feel like I'm smelling a completely different fragrance than some of the reviewers below and I'm a mom and have dealt with plenty of poopy diapers. I'm stumped by some of the analogies. It's a love for me, but not a safe blind buy unless you love powder and violet notes. Also, the performance on this one is far better than Missing Person! ETA: This is in the same vein as Kenzo Flower but I find it much more wearable. I love rose but the prominent rose in Flower coupled with the powder and violet is too much for me to wear regularly.

I’ve been having a hard time with Not Your Baby by Phlur. I bought a bottle two years ago and loved it, wearing it every day. After about three months, I noticed the scent started smelling off, and the liquid inside had turned yellow. Since then, I’ve sprayed it a few times at Sephora, and it smells great when the juice is clear. However, I’ve seen a few different bottles at different Sephoras with the liquid turned yellow, and when I sprayed it on myself, the off-putting smell came back. I’m starting to think it’s the formula. Has anyone else experienced this?

Surprisingly long lasting(8-10hrs), very modern, very chic. On me the cardamom and mimosa, and violet, really project on me and the sandalwood base sticks around forever and smells like buttery popcorn...it’s strangely delicious. Every time I’ve worn this and people hug me they dig their nose into my neck. Love this perfume, it’s innocent and playful. Not the loudest, but if over-sprayed can be more noticiable and get a really solid moderate projection. Summer scent for this year, for sure! And the bottle is so cute!

The opening of this is so good, a little crisp, a little powdery. As it dries down, it turns into mimosa, almond milk, rice flower. Definitely the fragrance of an innocent girl, I wouldn’t even call it alluring or inherently seductive whatsoever. With that being said, it’s light, delicious and comforting. I really like this one. Layered with baby lotion, I could see it being a winner. I feel thus scent would be easy to layer in general with something powdery, vanillic or even coconut based. Very nice.

I have to agree with the comment below. What baby head? If at all, than baby as in a loved one. Gorgeous fragrance.. on my skin this becomes a milky flowery freshness with a bit of a spicy cardamom at the top. Soothing and happy. Discovered it only couple of weeks ago and am actually sorry this is becoming discontinued. The lasting power and even the projection is actually impressive for Phlur as most of them are rather an intimate situation.

This is a delightful scent. Bright floral at first, slightly more powdery on the drydown, then warm & smooth violet powder with creamy cardamom. I was afraid the tonka bean would overwhelm, but it's perfect with the other base notes. I smell like baked goods 30 minutes after application but not in loud or synthetic way. I don't think I would pay $100 for the full size, but I would definitely wear it if someone were to gift it to me 😉

I love this so much - was thrilled to finally get a bottle for Christmas (dropped many hints). It reminds me of changing nappies/diapers but in a good way - it reminds me of the sweet moments I shared with my babies when they were tiny, at nappy change time when it was just me and them and I was caring for them. The dry down smells like a full diaper belonging to a breast fed baby - sounds revolting but if you know, you know!

Say what you will about this smelling like babies (in a bad way), but I can’t agree. Are we still even using baby powder on babies? Yes it is powdery. But I found that the base notes strongly pushed through even very shortly after I first sprayed this on. The warmth of the tonka bean and vanilla are so satisfying against the cardamom top note. It feels very cozy and comforting. Never once made me think of my own baby ^_^

I LOOOVE this perfume. I find it is such a great everyday cozy scent and it lasts a lifetime on me. I often wear this to bed and I can still smell it - strongly- the next morning. I know the hype is over Missing Person, but I just could not get down for it. It made me feel queasy and I was skeptical to try “Not Your Baby” but I’m so glad I did. If you’re not a fan of MP, definitely try this ❤️

I adore this fragrance. I wore this after I gave birth to my second daughter at the hospital to create memories tied to it. I thought the name funny in the circumstance But that being said it has that baby powder, baby fragrance lipsticky vibe to it but more modern. Sweet, powdery, delicate but still projects. It’s not the longest wearing in my collection by far but I really enjoy it.

This is such a nostalgic scent for me, it smells like a perfume I had when I was younger but its now elevated. I put this on around 6pm last night and at 11am the next morning it is still so incredibly strong! I'm super impressed with the longevity, I only did one spray on my wrist and it still smells like I just sprayed it on. I'm sure with more sprays this will be eternal.

I am obsessed with this scent!! First time I tried it it didn’t really stick out among the other Phlur scents in my sample kit. But when I started wearing it, I quickly became besotted. It’s so cute and comforting in a soft way, powdery with a hint of flowers and sunshine. And babies, or kittens. Something about it just gives me a rush of nostalgia and happiness. 10/10

I hate the smell of baby powder and I didnt even know that I liked powdery scents until I smelled this baby and I am OBSESSED with her. I looooooove this scent. She is THAT girl. She's a girl's girl knows how to style her hair just right and will help you do yours too. She always has the cutest clothes and the latest makeup trends and doesn't gatekeep. We love her.

Hmm... i think i would have loved it amazingly had i not already owned Jo Malone’s Mimosa&Cardamom fragrance. They are identical, only difference is that NOT YOUR BABY has a vanilla note to it and is sweeter. I personally love to mix this with MISSING PERSON to create an even more unique fragrance. Still love it regardless on it’s own. ⋆ ̊。⋆౨ৎ ̊

I don't typically like sweet perfumes or gourmands, but this registers really fresh-powdery and spicy on me. I wear it every day in the summer. I ordered the Phlur sample kit expecting to like a skin scent like Missing Person and fell in love with this one and bought a full bottle. It is clearly polarizing, so I'd say try it before you buy!

I absolutely adore this scent, from top to bottom. I don’t get diapers or baby heads, but I also don’t have kids. It smells like a happy young woman frolicking in a flower field with a mischievous smile. It’s sexy and innocent at the same time. I’m on my third bottle and I hope they don’t discontinue this!!!

This is like a slightly floral milky baby powder but in a good way somehow!! I do really enjoy it but I have to layer it with perfume oil and overspray to get any longevity. I typically do not like powdery scents but I think it's really nice. Definitely can see how it is not for everyone.

I might be biased because I really love the smell of baby wipes but this perfume is so nice. It smells somewhat clean (like baby wipes) but the cardamom note makes it smell sweet and comforting. Reminds me somewhat of south asian deserts because of the milky cardamom scent.
