Where to buy

From the outset, the couturier liked to break free from convention and emancipate women through a fashion that was sexier and more masculine. His first perfume, Rive Gauche, was an invitation to freedom. Other fragrances would cause a scandal, notably Opium, released in 1977. In 1999, the house presented Baby Doll, a fragrance halfway between the woman and the child.

Baby Doll by Yves Saint Laurent, an irresistible contrast

The image of Baby Doll is that of a contrasted fragrance. Baby Doll's personality sits halfway between the woman and the child. Between childlike sensuality and the femme fatale, Baby Doll resembles no one else. Its essence is destined for the prettiest girl in the capital, a bewitching woman-child, tender and sensual. Baby Doll is a multifaceted woman-child. This is why she can be, by turns, spontaneous, impertinent, mischievous, wild, sentimental, or unpredictable. Baby Doll is, above all, spontaneity and joie de vivre. At once playful and chic, Baby Doll offers a complex, contrasted essence that undeniably knows how to turn men's heads. Did someone say impertinent?

The complex fragrant notes of Baby Doll

Baby Doll is a complex composition, built on contrasts. Baby Doll is defined by a fresh, gourmand and bold sillage. The opening is fresh and fruity, and Baby Doll opens on notes of grapefruit, orange, apple, pineapple and blackcurrant. The heart of Baby Doll is floral and delicate, thanks to the presence of rose, lily of the valley, freesia and heliotrope. Finally, the base develops toward heightened sensuality, composed of vanilla, cedarwood, sandalwood and tonka bean. As for the bottle, it simply takes the shape of a spinning top. Its clear glass is entirely faceted, as is the gold-colored cap. Baby Doll's candy-pink base contrasts with the opaque black band around its neck. Bold, impertinent and truly timeless, the bottle reflects the composition of Baby Doll.

Released in 1999, Baby Doll is the fragrance of an impertinent woman-child. It is represented through multiple character traits, and its true personality sounds like a secret. At once discreet, unpredictable, sensual, discreet, uncompromising and mischievous, Baby Doll makes the heart of everyone who comes near her skip a beat.

Olfastory’s review

Baby Doll, the contrasted woman of Yves Saint-Laurent Baby Doll is a romantic essence. Nevertheless, one should not believe that its composition can be summed up by this simple adjective. That would be far too simple and would not correspond to the complexity of Yves Saint-Laurent's temperament. In reality, Baby Doll is a complex fragrance that likes to play with contrasts. Thus, it reveals the image of a personality halfway between the woman and the child. Its sensual scent plays the femme fatale, while its spontaneity is worthy of a childlike character. The overall rendering of this essence is nonetheless absolutely fascinating. It would suit the prettiest girl in Paris to perfection, a bewitching woman-child, fresh and tender. Baby Doll is therefore a multifaceted essence, at once spontaneous, impertinent, radiant, mischievous, provocative and authentic. Its charm is unrivaled. Its smile is devastating. Baby Doll is a girl who has what it takes to turn many a boy's head!
