Best Baby Powder Perfumes
Click For Affordable Inspired Perfume Alternatives
Who does not love the fresh cuddly scent of babies? The scent is so loved that someone had the idea to make it into perfume. Though it is impossible to infuse baby powder directly into perfume, it is not impossible to achieve a baby powder fragrance. There is a coziness factor about baby powder perfume owing to the use of musk, irris root (orris), florals, and sometimes aldehydes. A combination of many other notes can also achieve this and we will tell you all about it.

Musc Shamal by Giorgio Armani
Musc Shamal is a great fragrance from the Armani Privé collection that smells like a very luxury baby powder. It smells just like the amplified, more expensive Johnson's baby powder. When you wear it, it literally reminds you of baby powder, just a luxurious form of it. This baby powder perfume focuses on musk wrapped around citrus. The perfume is mostly about Musk and Aldehydes, with some freshness that the fairly light citruses lend it. It doesn’t get overly sweet and the overall composition is just gorgeous.

Nivea Eau de Toilette by Nivea
Nivea EDT literally is baby powder in a bottle. If you are used to their lotions, you would kind of recognise that smell in here. Basically, what they have done is transformed that lotion smell into a perfume. It is a soft powdery perfume with lots of powdery notes. This perfume, though affordable, is quite rare in the US, so if you're in Germany or somewhere in Europe you might run into it in a boutique so take the chance and get one.

Musc Invisible by Juliette Has A Gun
Musc Invisible is a baby powder perfume that is full of Musk and cotton flower together with a few light floral notes. This perfume is dry, a little ambery, powdery, and a little woody, but very sexy, clean and cozy as well. It is completely different from Nivea EDT because Nivea is not powdery in a musk way. Here, you definitely experience the powderiness from actual musk in the fragrance with that cotton flower. Juliet Has a Gun never fails to deliver unique fragrances.
- Top notes: Opens with Jasmine
- Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Cotton Flower

Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum by Diptyque
Fleur de Peau EDP is a very musky fragrance with loads of aldehydes and iris.It is a very sexy powdery fragrance that is also vegetal. The combination is beautiful but a little close to the skin. It takes you to the same place as Le Labo’s Aldehydes and Chanel No 18. This perfume is a unique creation, and though it is the least baby powdery perfume on the list, it has a sexy and powdery element.

Orphéon Eau de Parfum by Diptyque
Orphéon EDP is the most reminiscent of baby powder on this list. It is very sexy and credits a lot of powdery notes with light sweet touches of juniper and tonka. In comparison to Fleur de Poe it is not vegetal but more metallic and a little more sharp. It definitely really is a powdery experience with a very sexy cloud that combines together to make a beautiful fragrance. It sits very close to the skin, and people might have to get really close to smell you.

L'Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum by Guerlain
L’Heure Bleue EDP is a women's targeted release, but it really smells great on any gender. It smells like a luxurious baby powder mixed with a luxurious bar of soap. It has really intense powderiness and evokes major nostalgia because it would take you to a time in childhood with grandma. The bergamot in here is not necessarily overwhelming so it is basically the musk playing with the iris and neroli which adds a beautiful citrus floral touch to it. Overall, it is beautiful, cozy and reminds of baby powder.

Pegasus by Parfums de Marly
Pegasus is a men's targeted release but women can totally pull this one off. It is a very powdery fragrance for men. In the end, it is kind of an aromatic powdery experience. The sweet and bitter almonds are the reason it has a different take on baby powder- something very unique. All the powderiness takes you back to taking care of a baby if you have ever done that, especially with johnson's baby powder. If you like an almond take on baby powder, try this one out.

White Musk For Men by The Body Shop
White Musk is affordable so you literally can spray this all over in the same way you apply baby powder. It has lots of musk with sandalwood; the geranium, vetiver and lavender take it into a more masculine territory but the jasmine and tonka bean kind of give it a more unisex appeal.
