Cotton Blossom

I'm obsessed with this. I bought this for one reason, and one reason only, and that was because people were saying it smelled like Nivea cream. Now there does exist a Nivea eau de toilette, but it runs expensive in the US, especially for an EDT. As someone that huffs those little blue tins, I couldn't pass up the chance to try a cheaper, more accessible version, so I gave Cotton Blossom a try. Can you imagine my glee when I smelled my arm and picked up almost the exact, classic scent profile of Nivea cream? It was glorious. This is my first blind buy where I felt like I truly won. I'm going to have to get a larger version of this soon, I've been wearing it every day since I bought it. Such a comforting, soothing aroma, and not at all powdery in a dry or sharp way. Even if you don't have Nivea associations, I think it could be argued that it smells like a hand lotion; white, creamy, moisturizing, clean. You could really wear it for any occasion. I like it the most as a bedtime wear, it's very comforting. Normally I think bottles like these are really boring, but I like how this one looks like pure water, especially the travel size with its minimalist type. Hmmm, what else? Safe for all occasions, subtle without being weak, an easy-to-reach-for wear that never disappoints... I guess it should be mentioned that there's no distinct floral note of any kind, and that may be disappointing if you expect what the name advertises. It's neither blossomy nor cottony. But I don't mind! I wanted Nivea cream, and I have it. Thank you Fragrantica reviewers, for your tireless work and comparisons. You helped me find what might be my grail.

Overly disliked scent, and to me it is my personal favorite out of all perfumes I've ever owned. For the price, it smells very realistic, sexy, and sophisticated. It smells like baby oil, talcum powder, warm laundry, lotion, or really just anything you would associate with cleanliness. It does NOT smell like baby wipes or is overly soapy, and it is not bitter or powdery enough for that association. It is a musk too, so while it's subtle, it will easily accumulate to your clothes and items you own. And yes, it does smell like Nivea cream. However, if you like strong scents with very distinct leading notes I would not recommend this one. It's subtle in sillage, but an immediate mood boost when you spray it, at least for me.

This does smell like the Nivea cream, with added sweetness and lots of powder. First time I wore this was right before getting in a cab and the cab driver said ''whoa, you smell so nice, very soft and clean'' - and I agree! Perfect for those sensitive to smells who want something comforting. Layers really well with something more vanilla heavy and pretty inoffensive in my opinion. I really do love it and will repurchase as long as it's available! Moderate projection and pretty weak longevity (2-3 hours) but it's CAD $40 so it meets my expectations!

I blind bought this thinking it's gonna be a dupe of Petit et mamans, but upon spritzing it on my skin I've realized that this is even better and even more pleasant! Petit et mamans has a sour note that I don't enjoy. There is a sweetness in this that's extremely comforting, more inviting and more crowd pleasing to my nose. I've realized it does smell very similar to a Nivea cream. It smells very much like as if you've just applied lotion to your skin. Which i appreciate so much. I really enjoy this scent.

one of my favorites right now. lately, i haven't been able to handle scented items of any sort and this fragrance is the only exception. it isn't complicated and it smells just like clean laundry or baby powder. the lasting power is meh but that's fine with the price point it's at. this has to be the easiest perfume to reach for in my collection and its simplicity makes it suitable for any occasion.

This one ended up being my favorite of the line! Its powdery, clean, and comforting. I'm surprised iris or violet isn't listed as one of the notes. This is a powder lover's dream and I am obsessed with it. I would say overall this line is pretty decent especially for the price point! Except I haven't seen these are target for awhile so I'm really hoping this wasn't discontinued!

I’ve always wanted to love Kenzo Flower, but it is just too overwhelming and cloying for me. Cotton is like a better version of Flower. It’s simply lovely and subtle and just a gentle kiss of fragrance. I went immediately and bought a second bottle. I have ordered the full range of Solinotes (well the ones I can find in Australia) so I will give them a mix and see how we go...

I got this at work. Total baby powder and fluffy. Fun fact. I layer this with my chanel no5 and boom it smells like chanel no5 premier. Layering is super fun with this one. But most importantly it's beautiful on it's own.

It's a straight up baby powder scent, only more refined and lovely than actual baby powder. You will smell very clean and innocent.

Clean, powdery, musky scent with a hint of white floral, but it projects warmth when it settles.

I love it, it is powdery and last long.

Solinotes Cotton Blossom is a really nice little scent! I have recently become obsessed with white musks, laundry musks, and "your skin but better scents," and this one sounded good and was $22 at Target. It is very powdery at first, reminding me of "powder fresh" deodorant, and I was not enjoying it. But after about an hour, the powder calmed down a bit, and I would have sworn that there was also some violet in here, as it started to take on that "lipstick rose" vibe, reminding me of a more powdery Chanel Misia. To my nose, it is also scent cousins with L'Artisan's Le Chant de Camargue, with the bergamot and rice notes. After a couple of hours, the scent dries down into a soft, slightly vanillic musk. I would also recommend Cotton Blossom to anyone who was searching for a cheaper alternative to Byredo Blanche. All in all, I am enjoying Cotton Blossom!

I blind bought this on Amazon. Initially thought it was a Downy scent, a bit strong. Then it went to a cotton powdery musk and finally after 30 minutes I started to smell coconut...coconut isn't listed but I definitely get a cotton and coconut bubble bath....It is like a softer more wearable version of Replica Bubble Bath (which was too strong & harsh for me) If you spray and hate it, give it time, on me it morphed into a great scent after dry down. Best of all it's cheap and it lasts.

Rating: 😂 Do I like it: Meh Who it is: a mom about to wipe her baby Smells I get: pampers accord, musk, white floral, bergamot Meyer's Briggs type: INFP, ISFJ Bwhahahah. Smells exactly like Pampers baby wipes, and the drydown is Nivea. Anyway, it's powdery musk, white floral and bergamot. It's nice, and the musky drydown is pleasant. Not very sweet, mostly a powder floral. Good quality ingredients, but I feel I have on my hands what I'm used to having on my arse. Funny.

I tried this in a store, and at first I got a hand sanitizer smell. But then it started to develop into a nice powdery smell. It smells nothing like J&J baby powder in any way but more like Nivea cream. It is 100% nivea cream in a fragrance bottle. I happen to like nivea because of it scent, so this perfume is a strong "like" for me. It would be "love" if there was some depth to it, but I feel like there is something missing.

I wrote my first review a little too soon. Since then I've tried Cotton Flower a few more times and changed my mind a bit, going from "ok" to a "strong like". It is a pretty, clean, comforting scent. Reminds me of Nivea in some moments or of Après l'Ondée in others. Good to wear during the day or to go to bed, if you like that. Given the low price I have to say it will be hard to find another perfume just as good.

I really like this one! I think that it smells like the lovechild of an amped up L'Instant Magic and a toned down Teint de Neige...that keeps all their perfect genes but loses all the dealbreaker genes. The price and availability make it a steal! I might have to buy the remaining bottle the next time I am at Target. And I will definitely keep a bottle in my wardrobe. Rating: 🍒🍒🍒🍒 Cruelty free 🐾

This is a very soft smelling baby powder type of smell. I do not smell any florals at all, just powder. It's very nice and clean smelling though. So if that's something you like the smell of, this one is for you! If you're looking for florals, this one is one to pass on. Overall it's very light, clean and innoffensive.

Powder explosion, has Kenzo’s Flower vibe, but not as sweet. It isn’t the clean cotton type of scent, but it does evoke cleanliness. Very nice, but not particularly remarkable. Worth the small price tag.

Soft baby scent, iris and musk, mainly here. It has freshness to it. Very comforting. Daytime scent. 2-3 hours , have to reapply. For the price, it's great and I like it!
