Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The generally positive and inoffensive fruity-floral profile makes it a safe bet for casual outings, though less suited for very formal events due to its playful nature.

About

Maybe Baby opens with a lively, subtly spicy burst of ginger alongside juicy apricot, setting a bright and inviting tone. This quickly transitions into a heart where cyclamen and litchi provide a soft, floral sweetness with a hint of sparkling freshness. The dry down is a comforting embrace of ripe peach and clean musk, warmed by a delicate touch of poppy, creating a tender and utterly delightful trail.
