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.

I read this and thought : you've got to be kidding me. It is true, zwitsal products are mostly bought because of their smell. These are baby-products, though lots of teens and adults use it for personal use. They've got this soft kamille powder smell, which is very remarkable and addictive. Though I don't know if I would like to spray it on.. I wouldn't want to turn every body or hand cream in to a fragrance, leave them for what they are meant for: moisturating skin. Am going to test it though, I shall review it when I did! EDIT: It is WAY TOO LIGHT. You even can't normally smell it on a paper. But I tried it on the skin in combination with The Body Shop's almond body butter, my skin smelled actually pretty sexy :D So maybe... for 15e/99ml I will purchase this (with the -now in sale- 10e body butter)

I have to admit... my addiction to the smell of zwitsal is a toxic pleasure. Oh how ecstatic I was to find they made it into perfume for adults... I run to purchase it the second I laid my eyes on this beautiful bottle. Getting into my freshly washed bedsheets in zwitsal detergent and softener, mopping the floors with zwitsal and lighting up my zwitsal candle after taking an all zwitsal bath is simply intoxicating. I just had to add it to my everyday routine! Has me feeling like a newborn baby that was just delivered in labour... takes me back to when I was born... and I still stick to it after all this years. Zwitsal my beloved I will be BURIED wearing this scent MARK MY WORDS

Wonderfull lovely smell! Its smell fresh and clean like a new born baby. And although I love this scent and am crazy for it. Smelling like baby is NOT what I want not in the work environement and also not dating whise. This is the same problem I have with Do RE from Reminiscens most wonderfull smell I have ever smelled (cupcake delicatesse smell) But when are you actually going to want to smell like that. I think its a parfum suited only at home on your off days when your just lounching around in your pyama's on a lazy sunday.

I don't expect anything from this frag but some 'decent-flacon-like' packaging than the usual plastic bottle to be put on my dressing table since I always have the plastic bottle version inside the drawer. I don't expect it to be 'great' or 'adult' or whatever people expect from a perfume. But i LOVE it. Of course it doesn't last long, but it has pleasant smell, kinda suits my 'tired of fragrance' nose. It's neutral and it's pleasant. Clean and innocent.i love it to bits

I absolutely loved the smell of Zwitsal growing up in the Netherlands.... and secretly always wished that they would make it into a perfume! So THANK YOU MR.Zwitsal! ( Could we please also have a body spray/deodorant, and an EDP version?) Now, for the ones that are not too familiar with what it smells like, it something along the lines of the famous Nivea smell, A slightly powdery orange blossom is a major note in there. Hope this helps!

Eau de Zwitsal! In the Netherlands Zwitsal is a very populair brand that sells baby stuff, like baby powder, lotions, creme's etc. All for babies. But it happens that adults love it too (like me). If you say 'the zwitsal smell' in the Netherlands everyone knows what you're talking about! :) Eau de zwitsal smells soft, powdery, cottony. It is a very soft en clean scent. I only use it after showers and before i go to bed. I love it!

I would like to get this perfume but can't find it in USA. I told my sister I'd just pick it up next visit to the Netherlands. (Should be around 15 euros) She warned me that she bought it for her daughter and she described it was "net water" translated : just like water. That is a shame. However anyone here that can recommend a baby-like affordable powdery perfume, I'd like to hear suggestions for the American market.

I have this parfume, it smells like a lite version of kenzo summer, although kenzo summer,i like much better, Zwitsel Eau last on my skin about last then an hour, it was cheap...compare other parfumes i have :P Won't buy it again, spray it just on my bedsheets en spay kenzo summer on mij skin ;)Zwitsal can better stay with shampoo's and lotions instead of a parfume...!?!

Zwitsal,I love your smell. I love your douchgel also very very much. I find this perfum is not only for baby's. I wear it too. somethimes I get a better mood of it: It feels to me that I am worth being loved. Only the bottle is ugly. A round bottle had been better. So thank You Zwitsal for your timeless yummy eau de toilette.

tbh i only wear this when i come out of the shower... but its a nice smell, ot fresh or anything in my opinion but it puts me to sleep. sometimes i spray a little on my bedsheets, may be overpowering, but it isnt for me

Lovely, powdery and soft. I wear this almost everyday, but I don’t like the longevity. It’s sooo poor, I could barely smell it after 2/3 hour.. If only they make it EDP version, I would repurchase again and again

Great perfume, when I smelled it first it reminded me of when I was a baby and my mom was changing my diapers and putting the zwitsal baby powder on me....10/10.

I like to smell like a baby...
