Baby perfumes you'll want to wear this summer

Perhaps one of the keys to this type of compositions is that they evoke memories of childhood and the tenderness of the first years of life, capturing the essence of happy and secure moments. Their olfactory scores are characterised by soft, subtly sweet, uninvasive, yet enveloping accords, featuring notes of orange blossom, lavender, vanilla and white musks, complemented by hints of citrus for extra freshness.

In addition, their formulas are made to be gentle on children's sensitive skin, avoiding potentially irritating components and colourings, and almost all are alcohol-free, characteristics that also make them interesting for adults looking for products that respect delicate skin.
Some of the latest launches by major fashion brands such as Dior or Hermès show that premium children's perfumes are on the rise, turning the daily gesture of perfuming into a moment of luxury that children and adults can share.

The latest fragrance to join the trend of luxury baby perfumes is Bonne Étoile, which evokes the tenderness and magic of childhood through a scented water that is the result of a collaboration between perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, creative director of Dior Perfumes, and Cordelia de Castellane, artistic director of Baby Dior.
Formulated without alcohol and with 98% ingredients of natural origin, it awakens memories of childhood with soft notes of pear, wild rose and white musks.
"I wanted to avoid the inevitable orange blossom that has long characterised the scent of childhood and look for a comforting scent in another formula," explains Kurkdjian, who defines Bonne Étoile as "a creamy caramel that melts in the mouth".
The colourful bottles of this range are dressed in a toile de Jouy (a type of fabric that is highly prized in France), which has been created especially for the occasion and designed by Cordélia de Castellane herself.

In 2022, Hermès added this reference to its portfolio. An ode to the sweetness and freedom of childhood, created by perfumer Christine Nagel. Fresh and delicate, the unmistakable notes of osmanthus combine with the freshness of honeysuckle, while the elegance of sandalwood rounds out the composition. Its alcohol-free formula is suitable for the delicate skin of children aged 3 and over.
Alice Charbin's lively and poetic illustrations adorn the perfume bottle, appealing to the imagination and the joy of discovering the world as a young child would. A real treat for adults who look at the world with joy.

This eau de toilette launched by Goutal in 2018 is inspired by play and mischief in a natural, outdoor environment. It conveys the sensation of being in the countryside, running barefoot through the grass, jumping in puddles…
For this, Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal use a floral composition that combines notes of lemon blossom at the top, which brings a touch of freshness and vitality, and gives way to a heart of nasturtium, crisp grass and sweet pea. The base of white musk adds a comforting softness that completes this light and cheerful fragrance.

In 2020, Lolita Lempicka presented Mon Petit. Two years later, in 2022, she launched the Eau de Toilette version, thus continuing the chapter of children's fragrances of the brand that understands the infant universe in the following way: "The smell of babies is like a pleasure. It is one of the most pleasant and reassuring smells you can feel".
Floral and fresh, with musky, alcohol-free notes, perfumer Maïa Lernout pays homage to childhood with original notes of anise and marshmallow, blended with lime petals, freesia and orange blossom on a base of sugared almond and a cloud of white musk.
Developed with the utmost respect for baby's skin, Mon Petit is free of colourants, sunscreens and stabilisers. It is also free from essential oils and natural extracts that may cause allergies. It is also One Voice certified, which guarantees that it is 100% vegan and free of endocrine disruptors.

Formulated without alcohol and with organic chamomile, cornflower and calendula floral waters, this fragrance is suitable for sensitive skin and can be sprayed on hair.
Light and comforting, perfumer Karine Dubreuil composes the olfactory score inspired by her childhood in Grasse, as if it were a melody evoking memories and happy moments through sparkling notes of neroli and mandarin zest, combined with honeysuckle, white amber and delicate musks.
The vegan, made in France formula is 97.5% natural ingredients and contains no essential oils to minimise the risk of allergy.

Two lovely vegan fragrances for boys and girls dating back to 2015 in Jacadi's children's catalogue, which also features Le Bébé Eau de Soin.
On the one hand, Eau de Senteur Tout Petit is a very fresh aromatic symphony, ideal for awakening the senses. It combines cheerful notes of lemon, bergamot and neroli with a heart of orange blossom and Granny Smith apple, culminating in a base of musk and cedar.
On the other hand, Eau de Senteur Toute Petite, designed for a feminine public, offers a generous floral bouquet of freesia, orange blossom and lily of the valley that adds to an invigorating top note of grapefruit and bergamot and a warm base of musk, sandalwood and cedar.

Petits et Mamans by Bulgari is a pioneering fragrance for babies in the world of luxury. This delicate, alcohol-free Eau de Toilette was launched in 1997 as a way for mothers and children to share fragrance.
It is characterised by fresh, soft notes that include mandarin and petit grain at the top, providing an initial citrus freshness, followed by a heart of white peach, which adds a fruity, sweet touch, and a base of vanilla and iris for a warm, comforting softness.
Designed by Nathalie Lorson, its clean-smelling, slightly powdery and fruity fragrance makes it a light and cheerful choice for warmer days.

This eau de toilette is a creation of Thierry Wasser (2014) and was created to celebrate 20 years of the original fragrance, conceived by Jean-Paul Guerlain in 1994.
Petit Guerlain is fresh and gourmand. The top notes combine orange and mandarin with the aromatic touch of lavender and chamomile. In the heart, orange blossom mingles with floral accords of rose and mimosa, complemented by a retro note of violet. The warm base is composed of acacia honey and pistachio, culminating in a base of white musks.
The fragrance is presented in the iconic bee-patterned bottle that was originally created in 1853 for Empress Eugenie. This historic design is available in shades of blue and pink, but both share the same olfactory notes. Due to its exclusivity, the fragrance is only available at selected physical points of sale.

Launched in 2023, this eau de toilette is inspired by the mythical fragrance Tartine et Chocolat Ptisenbon that Givenchy presented in 1988 and which became an icon in the world of children's fragrances.
Ptimusc builds its olfactory pyramid with notes of almond and orange blossom, followed by a heart of white cocoa and ending with a soft base of musk.
The essence, formulated with 96% natural ingredients, is encapsulated in a bottle made from 15% recycled glass, in line with current trends towards sustainability and respect for the environment.
