Eau de Zwitsal

I just tested it yesterday as I saw it on the shelves of the supermarket I ran into to get some food. I thought : "This is the the moment to test it ! " ! ^^ First of all, let me tell you that I hate light fragrances that don't have sillage and that are not long-lasting. Excellent surprise : this scent is the EXACT duplicate of the irresistile scent of their products, which are very high-quality ones BTW ! ^^ I am really NUTS about this scent : I ADORE it ! Other excellent surprise : this scent doesn't fade in a "powdery-white florals" way ! Nor does it become "oily" !! It stays true to what it is from top to toe : ZWITSAL ! :) The only downside of this little and affordable "treasure" is the longevity : here on Fragrantica described as an EDT, it is actually an EDC. And, as such, it has all the same decent projection (even if I have to say that a big splash came out of the bottle when I opened it to test it on my wrist): nearly five hours later, I still could smell it (it stayed in the air all around me in a light and inoffensive way until the fourth hour, then I could still smell it putting my nose on my wrist). I believe I can picture myself hard training for Ballet wearing this scent : it is soft but not in a powdery way (even if I like/love prowdery fragrances), light but still present, soothing but not medicinal. I really can't imagine this scent to offend anybody !!! I might well buying it !! ^^ P.s. : Some of you are talking here about an "adult" version of this scent : what do you mean by "adult" version ? Because I only found the EDC version.

Nearly every Dutch household with a baby had one or more Products from Zwitsal. The story of this product which is a huge succes in the Netherlands is following: Zwitsal is founded by a Swiss man (Zwitsal is short for Schweizer Salbe) but did not get his formula in the Swiss market. So he went to the Netherlands there he got his unguent on the Dutch market. The very special smell of this unguent (and also many other Zwitsal products) is so distinctive from other baby products that it got it’s own eau de toilette.

Excellent, even the projection. If u are familiar with other talcums like Nivea or Roberts ( Italian "Borotalco") or Maja , you KNOW that this is a completely different smell. For instance : Nivea is much more FLOREAL. The experts and lovers of simple baby-talcums will know their differences. Good one , specially if u know already the talcum powders by Zwitsal, this is the SAME smell and quiet sexy actually. I'm already hooked. Keep going back to it. And a fabulous design .

Zwitsal edc is like a cheap version of Eau de Lingerie. Not that it smells the same but it can serve the same purpose: a soft soapy scent you will like most when going to bed . Either spray it on yourself or on your bed linen : happy dreams! Zwitsal is by far the most popular baby soap/oil etc. product in the Netherlands, so this edc is very popular as well and very affordable too.

It’s such a great smell, combined with the nostalgia, I’ll always have a bottle of this in my collection. Does it project? No. Does it last? Also no. Do I still love it? Absolutely. I like to layer it with other powdery perfumes to elevate the powderiness.

It's perfect for an off day, nothing heavy but a clean and fresh scent. It smells like talc powder and really has the signature Zwitsal baby smell. There are many baby perfumes and all in range of different prices but this one still is the best!

I really like the Zwitsal perfume! I'm a fourteen year old girl and I use it everyday! It reminds me of my babytime! And it's so cheap! I think they should make a Zwitsal deodorant to!

Fresh. lovely, nice, charming, if you feel like a child, use this, if you want to feel like a child, use it too, very very nice, is a pity there is no more in venezuela,

Such a nostalgic fragrance. I will always have a bottle of this in my house. It's such a nice and fresh scent that smells good on anyone

cheap, lovely, smells like baby powder and happiness. Doesn't last long but that's okay, I couldn't stay mad at that little face...

All Dutch babies smell like this perfume! It's soft, powdery and clean. It's especially nice after taking a shower!

Best smell ever. If only it performed better.

I loved Zwitsal baby products when I was a teenager, for some reason I felt sexy smelling like a newborn (...I don't even know). Anywho, when I saw the Zwitsal perfume in stores last year, I figured 'why not'. It brings back good memories :) It's pretty much the same old Zwitsal fragrance, thankfully they didn't try to 'spice it up' or 'modernize' it for the EDC version. I can't describe the scent any better than 'clean baby'. It's light and does indeed have pretty low sillage, but I personally prefer it that way (besides, it's a big bottle, just spray more (often) if you want it to overwhelm everyone who gets within a 2 meter radius). If I really want to surround myself with the scent of Zwitsal, I use it alongside the hair lotion (which is the product I used most when I was in my teens). All in all, I really like this when I'm in the mood for it. Definitely happy to have it in my collection!

There was a Childs perfume, but when they introduced the Adult version I was very surprised. Love the scent! Sometimes used the shampoo and shower products. But found it a bit too expansive. The moisturizing products I didnt like, 'cause it burns on my skin (wouldnt want to put it on a baby butt). And I want to point out, that my skin isnt sensitive. I got a bottle of perfume for adults, it's very cheap. The scent is there, and it stays on your skin for hours... But you have to sniff really really closeby. So its not a scent that people around you will notice. So spray enough!

Iris (typical note of baby powder, baby skin oils) + hint of pear. It smells like all Zwitsal products, similar to Johnson&Jonhson baby oil, or even old navy blue Nivea Cream. Zwitsal is more fresh and subtle. Zwitsal + honey = Summer by Kenzo. So if you miss Summer you have to mix it with sweet honey/ mimosa perfume. PROS: carcinogen free!! (it doesn't contain BHT, benzophenones nor ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate)

Did anyone test the other one, « Pink Blossom » Zwitsal? The lovely little bottle is looking at me :-) I think I’m going to take the (inexpensive) plunge. Ed: Yes I did, so I ‘ve the answer now, it’s a fruity rose, heliotrope, cashmere, and it dries in a woolly pink sweet way. Irresistible and Idôle’s baby girl ?

I found it in the supermarket, with all the baby-creams, lotions and diapers. So lovely, really weak but comforting and clean, it is very difficult to say exactly the smell. Powdery talc (not too dry), fresh washed baby skin, light as a laugh in a nursery.

Nostalgic for anyone that's Dutch. This is kind of a 'Joke' fragrance but still a fun gift to give anyone who grew up in the Netherlands. I always have it around just to smell on occasion, usually at home as it doesn't really project and lasts very short.

Although Zwitsal is a brand with products for babies, the perfume is a bit different. The perfume is very suitable for adults, and not to be sprayed on children. The scent is clearly Zwitsal, but less baby like. A clean scent suitable for day and night.

Typically Zwitsal...Oily & Soft: a baby smell. I couldn't have inmagined it anyhow else.
