Johnson's Baby Cologne

[Tussiemussies]

I didn't think that this could be true when I saw it Johnson's coming out with a baby cologne so your baby smells fresh and clean. But it is true I googled it. It really makes me lose a lot of faith in the company that they would try and sell this for babies. How awful, just another scheme targeted at babies to make more money. I hope it doesn't sell...

I don't know; if it can cancel out the smell of diapers and baby powder...

[CathyA]

Yep, I agree its awful.

My bet is that it's targeted at the mothers. I think babies clean from their baths smell really nice. Why would anyone want to change that?

Is this cologne for mothers who can't bother to bathe their babies?

I can't think of a better smell than a freshly washed and powdered baby! Even babies, first thing in the morning with that damp, slightly pissy smell is so...unique, and so, baby!
OK, maybe I'm weird, but even that smell is good to me, kind of like the smell of a warm barn on a frosty morning. Some may find both those smells bad, but I find them comforting and earthy and natural.

Now, a poopie diaper..that's different!

Freshly washed baby is pretty much the best smell ever. Why mess with perfection?

[JaneV2.0]

That would be an excellent litmus test: wave a baby under a woman's nose, and if it smells good to them, voila'--they're mother material!

[Rosemary]

Agree that the best smell ever is clean baby, with no powder or scented products of any kind.

you all can have your baby smell, me, I love bulldog toes--they smell like popcorn.

Shameful. Hopefully, smart moms, savvy to raising babies as naturally as possible, will be the guide as to seeing the demise of this newest/greatest thing.

Artificial smells on or around baby is a major pet-peeve of mine. Reminds me of the brand new smell of vinyl pull-on baby pants. Gaseous, odour-emitting, chemical plasticizer things they were until diaper-pailed/laundered a few times. I hated that vinyl/rubber smell on my kids bottoms.
