Baby Doll by Yves Saint Laurent

Puma

Another wonderful fragrance from YSL house! Fruity, elegant and feminine.

Baby Doll started out nice and pretty on my skin, but after a few minutes it became more and more sour. That just didn't stop until it quickly turned into a very synthetic nasty smell, like an overheated cotton-candy machine! So strong and chemical, almost metalic, very weird smelling! It really didn't agree with my skin...
Baby Doll is longlasting, which is great for those who have a good body chemistry for it.
The bottle is very pretty, but I just don't like the juice.

Dont like it. Its got that fruity sweetness kinda thing, which is off-putting.
Howeva if your into oyur fruity cocktails with syrup then this is made for you.
Cute flacon thou.

Grapefruit, always remains when I wear this in edt. The name reminds me of my daughter she is nine. She calls these types of scents freshess. May be I will give it to her. Pre-teens and teens should try this. If you like fresh citrus floral scents that sting this is the the one for you. Still looking fresh lady like scent?

Ouch!

The only way I can describe this scent it..ZING!!!! It's zingy and fruity and smells almost fizzy. It's like a younger sister to Parisienne. Both are bright bouncy youthful and pink scents but this one has a punch of fizziness that's kinda irresistible. It's almost effervescent!

This would be lovely in spring/summer. Wearing it would probably give you a little bounce in your step! It's great!

alphala

This is a very girly, fresh, clean and soapy fragrance. You feel full of vitality wearing this one. It's not sweet at all, but very intensive. Like fresh out of the shower. One of my favorites

Monos

Cute bottle,very strong little perfume though. I had it for ages having used just the tiny bit of it every time.It's a special,fruity,sweet,summery smell with a bit of underlying bitterness of grapefruit.I would buy it again!...

Cute little perfume with such a positive and cheerful attitude. Depressions wouldn't exist if only everything smelt like Baby Doll!

smellysmellycat

it's definetely attractive. I dont understand why they don't produce it anymore :/

stellamarinaa

After the initial bursting grapefruit I smell only peach which makes it overly sweet. I received no compliments on this fragrance.

Mrs.YoungLady

Smell fresh and grapefruit at the beginning, but after 10 minuts its smell strong and a little rude but still floral and grapefruity.
I don`t understand if I love it or not but there is something very attractive in this perfume. So I guess I kinda like it.

Oh Sugar

When I saw the name "Baby Doll", my associations were: sugar, sweet-smelling flowers, cotton candy. But then - a big surprise! Baby Doll isn't a gourmand perfume at all, it's very floral, with a hint of grapefruit. At first I wasn't very fond of it, but then I started to appreciate its beauty. The note I can smell the most is rose. It is in fact a bit soapy, almost not sweet at all, at least in my opinion, but it's enchanting and fresh, perfect for everyday use. Baby Doll is like a charming girl, head-in-the-clouds type, in a delicate pink dress, with her curious huge eyes open wide and her lips curled in a perfect little "o" - cute and innocent.

I had already used up the whole bottle, and I got a new one with shimmer, because I love it this much. When I spray it, it almost takes me to another world, where everything is peaceful, magical and beautiful. Baby Doll is my precious little treasure.

Its only weak side is that it doesn't last very long, maybe an hour, an hour and a half. It's such a shame!

Zaleska

A big, giant, huge, enormous...guava. I didn't test it on my skin, but I felt like eating guava. Nhammmm!

LenaBel

When I just applied it it smelled really nice and maybe even fresh, like spicy pink grapefruit. But after about an hour it settled down and it smells sour and artificial now, unpleasant. Not for me.

Happyme2009

Absolutely delicious, totally pink grapefruit to me, leaves you wanting more and more! Very feminine and girly girly, average staying power, but truly a feel good kind of perfume; makes you feel young, beautiful, feminine, ready to be discovered, like a little primadonna in disguise; a forever attraction, light and commitment free, flirty and fun! Love this one!

krmarich

I picked this up for a lady friend of mine. She had a very youthful character. She hates "old lady" scents. I felt this was perfect for her. Indeed it is! The bottle is playful and fun, like a childs top, or I thought a diamond. It started out like candy, almost too sweet and girly, and then it grows into something pretty classy and mature. Like its big sister, it radiates elegance, perhaps more so!

pitbull friend

I was looking for a slightly tart scent, so got this even though I hate the name & feel too old (forties) to have a bottle like that around. It's great, though. On me, the most striking note is redcurrant, which I rarely find in perfume. Sweet-tart, refreshing, not too candied. But I hide the bottle!

sorbearmui

I had this many years ago. I gave it to my elder sister as she said she liked it. Now I think I really miss this scent and I bought another one from the net, hoping the scent would be the same as many years ago. I love this and I understand why it won the fifi award. It's a pioneer of floral fruity scent, it's a well developed one. Many floral fruity scents came after this but most of them don't have any depth or charater. Baby Doll is fruity, sweet, warm and insteresting. Maybe the tonka bean and vanllia bring the scent to another stage and soften the sharpness of the floral fruity scnet. I love it.

The_Entity

Not a favourite of mine in the Yves Saint Laurent selection...reminds me of floor cleaner

Annie_D

Not what I was expecting at all! This pretty little pink bottle named baby doll. The first spray I was blasted with a sharp note of grapefruit, not bad just sharp and making a statement. Fading to a rosy-floral type scent that still packs a tart note. It is different and not what I was expecting.

I thought it would be more girly, instead I got a playful, feminine, and respectable scent. It was definitely not as fruity as I expected, but instead a touch of citrus!

ramiske

I was surprised by this one. I was expecting something really sweet since I read it was 'for the younger crowd'. The top notes are definitely grapefruit and rose, but they fade to a really nice floral with hints of citrus. I think anyone of any age could wear this, especially for spring/summer!

tommy_girl

the first notes are not baby girlish at all.just too much citruses with some green notes.it's very fresh at the first sniff.
but the middle notes are really lovely,with plenty and over plenty of roses.I think it's signature of YSL young fragrances like "pont des amours".still there are a hint of orange in the middle notes.in addition there's something very sour(I guess it can be green apple or pine apple).I can summarize the middle notes in 2 words:rose+sourness.
it's not a powdery classic middle aged rose like kenzo flower or pont des amours.it's a very mild and modern romantic rose for young audiences.
this is my favorite YSL perfume and although it's good for teenagers too,I don't consider it as a sole age-limited perfume.

Anna_C

Just plain aweful! Soooo disappointing! It smells very plain nothing memorable at all and quite honestly, the drydown smells plastic-y and a little cheap which in turn makes me feel a little cheap and it doesnt even last very long!...well maybe thats a good thing... Not worth it. Cute bottle design tho.

nathalieZ

I agree whith Sharyssa, the grapefruit is overwelming..I did wear it though when I was living in California..it is easy to wear in a warm climate, as it is quite refreshing...and almost sparkly like limonade! but i wouldnt buy it again..too similar to a lot of perfumes out there..

sharyssa

Smells like PURE grapefruit and I am not crazy about this but the bottle is so lovely I would buy it just for that! Have you seen the 1 oz bottle? So teeny tiny and cute!

missk

I received this perfume as a gift along with 3 other fragrances, so it went unnoticed for a while. When I finally got around to wearing it, I was quite pleasantly surprised.

The first initial spray is a strong citrusy burst of pineapple and orange which smells a lot like tropical fruit juice, but in a nice way. The fragrance quickly mellows, and although you can still smell the citrus notes, there are more flowery notes like rose and lily of the valley.

Wearing this fragrance is a lot of fun and makes you feel really girly and casual. However, be warned that this perfume is rather strong and that it has been known to give people headaches if used in large quantities.

wallflower

it was my first 'expensive perfume' when i was about 15.:)
in fact my mother bought it which is funny coz she never uses perfumes but she liked it so much.
for me it was an ok scent, i used it all up, but i never really liked it. it kinda annoyed me with its really sharp, tart smell and i couldn't stand the weird rose-cedar base.
i think envy me and bright crystal smell similar but i like them so much better.

alicektn

The fragrance starts with a happy and beautiful burst of fruitness, some of the best top notes I have ever smelled! After a while the whole fruitness blends with delicate and powdery rose notes, providing a fresh and feminine aura. The drydown is a soft vanillic and woodsy combination, not very noticeable. Overall the lasting power is medium.

For me this is a scent that can be worn from women of all ages.It balances between youth and mature. It also can be used day and night without getting annoying or boring.

kahokero

I agree with Malibu. This one definitely smells a lot more floral than the other floral-fruity fragrances. However, that is the unique part of this fragrance. With all those floral smells, I feel like I am getting better value for money because it means that it is not just a candy fragrance, it has some more elegant and more expensive ingredients.

cielo!

This one is amazing! Men love it and it's long lasting. It reminds me to 212 sexy so much! But this one is better!It's a classic.

Malibu

My problem with BABY DOLL is that the floral notes are far too strong. I adore the spicy fruits & the cedarwood in the base. But all of the combined florals never fail to give me a headache. The staying power of BABY DOLL is great & the pink bottle, shaped like a spinning top is lovely. If only I weren’t so scent sensitive, I’d have found a winner.

DHMO

I got this one for my sister a while ago. It's very young, sweet, flowery and girly. Not too strong for a tenage girl as many others are. It has something calming to it. I really like it.

Chatnoir

I hate the name- it really sets a low bar for this scent. I happen to love grapefruit, however, so I kind of like the perfume, but not enough to spend much money on it- if I ever see it cheap (under $20) I might give it a try.

Trvevil

I'm not sure about this. Nice bottle, nice name... but the perfume is so average, I expected more. Maybe it needs another chance?
*
Just sniffed it again and miracle happened! It smells so juicy and fruity sweet, that I'm now feel kinda liking for it.

veruska

i'm sure all of you will hate me but i found Baby doll the one YSL should forget and discontinue.I was given it as a gift many-many years ago and i dislike it immediately.I don't have anything against young fruity floral things as long as they smell good but this one is'nt. Good thing that Luca Turin agrees with me!people talk about grapefruit, but instead i get a very alcoholic black currant top, and then a lily of the valley dressed with an ammoniac veil that sadly lasts and lasts. The vanilic almost caramelized drydown is the only passable moment.What a pity for the adorable bottle!

mmsmlzgud546

Grapefruit really stands out in this perfume. I dont detect the vanilla but that may just be on my skin. I loved it at first but it didnt grow on me.

Helene

Orange, pineapple and heliotrope- exotic and feminine/
SWEET and makes me smile! )))

nikoly

it's so cute, i like it a lot, awesome, in our country there is no perfumes by Yves Saint Laurent, and i have a lot of memories, because my Boyfriend bought it specialy for me

tangledvines

*A sickly cute story*

My husband calls me "Baby Doll" and when he came across this perfume and saw the name, he said he had to purchase it for me even though he had no idea of what it smelled like. He hoped it would be a pretty scent. He was right! I love it! It's unique, and yes, a bit grapefruity....but in a very light and sweet way. It mixes well with the other notes and creates a very beautiful scent. I adore it.

iam2sexy4uris

I really love this perfume, it smells like amazing. Is very strong at the beginning but fades into beautiful floral and fresh scent. It is a very expensive smell, every time I am wearing it people stop me on the street and asking what I am wearing. Love it!!!

Taliera

I'm not going to say I hate it, but I don't particularly like it. I bought it a few years back when I fell in love with the ad, having never smelt the perfume (see how young and gullible I was, at 14...) So now I am keen to give it away. As of the fragrance - it is sweet and cutie-pie and fruity. Nothing sophisticated or intriguing - but I must say it is delicious. If this was a food, I would eat it...

hena a

this scent is very girly. kinda sweet and fruity.

mightyaphrodite

Nice girly scent for any season of the year! It's very fruity (grapefruit) but you can smell the gentle florals when it dries down! This is not an innocent, elegant scent.. rather playful and flirtatious. I like how it doesn't smell like yummy food. It's a little complex (like most expensive perfumes) and therefore a little headache inducing for me. Takes only a little while to get used to. And the scent lasts for quite a while!

luisa margarita

on my skin i can smell a LOT of roses..... then it emerge a superinteresting base.. soft and radiant... very very feminine

sonrise

The four tiny bottles were packaged smartly. They are very cute. I am hoping to get a miniature bottle, that's agreat way to figure out if you like a scent without sinking in alot of money. I have a ton of miniatures.

nezzabel

It's great!
I love it!
It was one of my first fragrances, it's girly, feminine and fun!
Perfect for teens.

joybee88

I bought a small bottle and found myself not attracted to this scent. Then I happen to have a friend who loves it so much so I gave it to her. To me it's nothing different or special, just doesn't do anything for me.

Em89

i brought it on sale, absolute bargain. its light, fresh and inoffensive, but i find it doesn't last long. great for work. definately for the teens to mid 20's.

soirdelune

I'm a fan of grapefruit notes, so I rushed into buying this perfume. Shame as, with wear, I realised it really wasn't for me. It's too saccharine and, dare I say, a bit too 'young' (I was around 30 when I started to wear this scent). Still, it's inoffensive and actually rather pretty -- just not for a woman of the world like me!

guest_pippi

I liked it at a glance. it is also the only YSL parfume I could ever wear. bittersweet, like a grapefruit. apple and black current are very strong, even overwhelming,strong rose and cedar.sometimes I even got a headache from it, despite I'm generally using very small amounts of a perfume.but Istill like it very much.it is ok for everyday or summer

ydee

It's lovely, begins very fruity I like the pineapple smell it very well, a nice sweet and fresh fruity mix.
Than soft fresh flowers and bit sweet.
Can't say what I smell at the end of it.
Not as long lasting though.

moonoi

pretty grapefruit!
but a little bit too sweet

got 30ml one
really nice package

Aeternitas

Alas, the first Yves Saint Laurent I like! I agree it smells like an orange candy, or almost like a sweet orange cream soda drink to me. I love it, now that I have a sample and wore it. When I smelled this at a perfume store, I hated it and thought it was boring, but it's beautiful. I think my perfume taste is changing dramatically... :) It's sweet and fruity, and a bit flowery. Something I could wear everyday, it's very carefree and casual, although it's not boring or dull.

lovelylavender

Fruity and fresh at the beginning, flowery at the middle and warm in the end. It smell like orange candy, but not those sickening sweet scent. It's for young lady with fun personality but still chick and feminime.

The bottle is gorgeous, though.
