Pros & Cons
- ✅ For those who doesn't know yet: Petit Guerlain is back... and dressed with the marvelous bee bottle... I LOVE YOU GUERLAIN!
- ✅ There is a milkiness and spiciness to this scent that predominates in the opening... After the drydown the lavender is soft and it becomes a sweet fragrance.
- ✅ This fragrance reminds me so much of my childhood. When i couldn't sleep my parents gave it to me and for whatever the reason is it helped me to sleep.
- ✅ For those who doesn't know yet: Petit Guerlain is back... and dressed with the marvelous bee bottle... now it has two label colors... light blue or light pink! I LOVE YOU GUERLAIN!
- ✅ 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.
- ✅ This fragrance reminds me so much of my childhood. When i couldn't sleep my parents gave it to me and for whatever the reason is it helped me to sleep. So this reminds me of my bed and my bears. Now when I look at the shop of Guerlain they made one for girl and one for boys wich is kind of heartbreaking because i'm quiet sure that the scent of my childhood has disapeared.. and they look hard to find so yeah, that's really sad.
- ❌ 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.
- ❌ I smell mostly chamomile with mimosa
