There is a milkiness and spiciness to this scent that predominates in the opening, the combination of which I don't like. After the drydown the lavender is soft and it becomes a sweet fragrance. The citrus tames the lavender, and tonka and vanilla tame the citrus. It makes you smell cleaner than you are! I think the mimose takes the dirt out of the jasmine, which is faint to begin with.
This would be so sweet for my neice, who is two months old, but I don't know if my sister, who is sensitive to perfume, will let me apply it on the back of her daughter's neck and underarms, considering it's a used vintage I got in the mail and the bottle (not the juice) is discoloured, lol! Maybe if I told her a vintage full bottle costs over $200... sounds like more of a prize that way.
Update: My sister let me put it on my neice! It *is* for babies. :) Just smells divine on her. Clearly, there aren't many more sophisticated things in the world than Guerlain perfumes, because my 2 month old neice just became worldly and elegant, lol. She smells like expensive lemons and fresh lavender.
Petit is a French word for small and when you take a whiff of Petit Guerlain, you actually git why it has been named so?
My first impression of the fragrance is innocence, and you get this feeling when you smell small children and babies who have just been dressed their best by their mums. Small children smell so lovely and so is Petit all about, light, airy, powdery and brushed with a hint of musk.
If you ask my personal opinion on buying Petit Guetrlain, I would rather stick to my most favourite baby fragrance that's Johnson's baby powder as I feel there's no better fragrance has been made as yet.
This one has unfortunately been discontinued, hasn't it ? :-/
I have had this perfume when I was in gradeschool and yes, it is really for kids. For women who like to smell like innocent, school children, this scent works everytime. Best for sunny weather! I love it. :)
Today I tried this fragrance and I like it a lot. I used the EDT and, on me, the citrus predominates. I was looking for a light powdery citrus scent for summer and this one seems to be just right.
It smells to me like milk, babies' bottoms and talc. I was hoping for something with light citrus, which is Tartine et Chocolat, but not this scent.
This was actually designed for children. I worked with Guerlain at the time and it was mostly sold in an alcohol-free form for them. I love it still to this day and it's wonderful as a linen spray or if you ever miss the smell of a clean baby's bottom!
