Clean Baby Girl (2003)
by Clean

That was a blind buy, this is not love at the first sniff for me but it just has not live up to my expectation. It doesn't smell like a "Baby Girl" to me. I was expecting to smell cotton candy and baby powder.

Lemons, cyclamen, orange, Egyptian geranium, a violet, heliotrope, lavender, ylang and cinnamon ceylon, and a white musk and cedar are supposed to be found on this. It has a very noticeable, almost sharp opening but it wears down to a softer, powdery tone rather quickly. Baby Girl reminds me of one of my old love which was the Mimosa Eau de Toilette by Calypso Christiane Celle. I guess if you enjoy Mimosa, there is a chance for you to like this too. They are both playful and shared the same soft musky base.

I really liked this scent. It is the least expensive of the Clean scents, but also my favorite. The other clean scents feel like you're biting into a lemon. This has very little citrus in it. It actually does smell like a clean baby girl- soft, musky, and pleasant. It smells alot like Philosophy's "baby Grace", also. The concept is the same- smelling like a baby. I would really like to know who came up witht this fragrance first- because someone outright robbed another company's idea and scent!

Gag em with a gargantuan wad of Juicy Fruit and douse me with a bucket of bathroom cleaner - this is not babyish or clean or even wearable for the most part. It's just sicky, sticky and not of the natural world. The whole concept of the Clean line is a touch of a mystery to me, as my idea of what the concept of clean smells like is not nearly so sweet or fruity as anything put out under the Clean label. Guess I use a much different brand of soap? But while some of the other Clean scents are bearable and even decent, Clean Baby Girl is an abomination. The official lineup of notes astonishes me - Egyptian geranium, cinnamon, cedar, white musk? Really? Where?? And while some of the other notes including the African violet, heliotrope, cyclamen and citruses are more detectable, they all have a pretty synthetic edge to them. Upon application, this fragrance is genuinely scary and evokes myriad airport restrooms freshly cleaned. Once it dries down, it's scarcely more tolerable but not quite as bad as it seems as first, if that's any consolation...
