Love From First Scent: Baby Doll by YSL

Some women tend to wear one scent mostly and make it a kind of their 'trade mark'. My nose would find it very boring! The world of perfumes is so full of various aromas, their compounds - so many to discover and enjoy! Of course, what we like depends on our personal preferences.
A pleasant scent can add beauty to an ordinary day and special moments as well. One of them is Baby Doll by Yves Saint Laurent - a fruity and floral, elegant fragrance. According to fragrantica.com, the perfume was created by Cecile Matton and Ralf Schwieger in 1999. The cute, glass bottle in the shape of a spinning top was designed by Saint Gobain.
The main Baby Doll's aroma notes include: grapefruit, redcurrant, peach, freesia and cedar.
The fragrance is delicate and - oh - so fresh! It is light enough to be worn during a day, also at work.

I simply love it.

Scented Little Cuties

I discovered them in two different duty free stores at two different airports. Two boxes of little fragrant bottles.

It would be difficult to say which scent/perfume is my favourite one as each of them is different and each of them is interesting in its own way. I tried to put them in order: from the most to the least  favorite fragrance which appeared to be rather difficult. I simply like them all (not equally though)! However, the scents within a brand seem to be equally attractive so it was easier to divide them in that way.
Here is my choice: if you click on a fragrance name, it will take you to a fragrantica.com page with detailed info on  a particular scent and its creators (a really interesting - website!)
