Baby Bliss

Baby Bliss opens on a soft, milky strawberry sweetened with juicy forest berries, the same playful, nostalgic comfort scent that Melanie Martinez built Cry Baby Perfume Milk around. The dupe leans creamy and sweet from the off, like strawberry milk. The heart turns powdery, a soft baby-lotion accord that, as owners note, tames the sweetness and makes the whole thing more wearable and balanced than the slightly greener original. The drydown is a cosy gourmand close of caramel rounded out by soft woody notes, warm and a little sticky. Where the original kept a faint green edge, Perfume Parlour smooths it into a sweeter, snugglier finish. Longevity is decent for a budget gourmand and projection is moderate. A fun, comforting milky-sweet scent for cooler months, easy for casual days, cosy nights in or a sweet-toothed date.
