Advantages: Smells nice (always good in a perfume...) Disadvantages: Costs a lot
...is Baby Doll perfume from Yves Saint Laurent.
As you may or may not know, I've just come back from a week sunning myself on the French Riviera. I had an amazing time - sun, sea, sand (well, pebbles, but at least I didn't get sandy knickers), cheap alcohol (have equipped myself with some Absinthe - ooh I'm so classy!!), and of course, perfume! I'm totally incapable of going to France and not coming back with at least one bottle of perfume - it hasn't ... ...settled on Baby Doll by Yves Saint Laurent. Shamefully, I was initially drawn to this perfume by the shocking pink box, spinning top-style bottle and the overly girly name. I was a little shocked to see it was by someone as classy as Yves Saint Laurent, as it gave the impression of being a real barbie doll perfume.
I gave it a little squirt out of curiosity (and also because I thought the box would look great on my dressing table... shallow? moi?). ...

Advantages: will last Disadvantages: sickly sweet, and may roll around the table
In search for a bit of a change of perfume, my eye was caught by a cerise spinning top on the perfume counter. I was reluctant to try the perfume, as I’m not keen on Paris. Baby Doll, though, is not like Paris This is a very thick, sweet smell. It lingers and transfers easily onto everything you touch. It smells as “pink” as the bottle it comes in. The name is a bit of a drag; but I suppose the smell conjures up 60’s chiffon and hairspray for those ... ...is not necessarily as bad as it sounds - reminiscent of brand new Barbies out of the box! (I know you remember!). It is a little too much of an acquired taste to give as a present but for those boyfriends out there you could give it with a wink. This kind of perfume is definitely not for everyday, much more suited for a party or night on the town as it can compete with the smoke and other people’s perfume! ;)
The drawbacks are that it can overpower ...

Advantages: It can make you feel like a million dollars even on the most average of days! Disadvantages: I want to use it all the time so I am always buying it!
What can I say....? Every girl has got to have her favourite perfume and Babydoll is mine in so many ways!!!
The first thing that attracted me to this perfume wasn't infact the scent but the colour of the bottle! I lurve pink and the feminity of the colour, I would have everything pink if it wouldn't make me and everything around me look like a marshmallow! The second thing was the shape of the bottle, it was very different in my eyes, not your ... ...more extravagent ideas for shapes all the time nowadays! When holding the bottle up to the light it reminds me of one of those 'snow storms' you get which you shake up and watch the snow fall over the house or whatever they have inside! It appears to have an almost glittery effect inside the bottle, which I fell in love with straight away!! To me it was an added bonus, an almost secret gift that you only got if you brought the perfume!! Last but ...

Advantages: made by a designer name, lasts well! Disadvantages: horrible smell
As a fan of Paris, I thought I'd have a squirt of this at the perfume counter, boy was I wrong!!
It is one of the most disgusting smells that I've ever tried!!!
It smells like a bag of sweets, candy and sugary stuff, absolutley gross!!!
The bottle was ok, more like a squashed version of the Paris bottle, but ok, it's a bit on the expensive side, and you don't get much for your money!
I thought it was horrible, although it had good staying power, ... ...off my wrist.
I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who likes smelling nice and fresh, this is very sickly and sweet.
Avoid this one on the perfume counter and if you want that smell, buy a bag of sweets instead, it's cheaper and won't make you as sick as the perfume would! ...

Advantages: light, sweet, stays on for a long time Disadvantages: its simply great!
I bought this product when i was shopping, and when walking through the perfumes section, i decided to see what Babydoll smells like and i fell in love with this smell.
It comes in a very original bottle, in 3 different sizes and is packaged very nicely and would make a great present. The scent is absolutely gorgeous. It is quite a gentle fruity smell, but it is very light and breezy, different to all the others. It is great to wear as a day and ...

Advantages: Sweet, Light, Refreshing. Good Value For Money. Cute Bottle. Disadvantages: Become sickly after a while.
I recieved this for my birthday and would reccommend it for ocassional daytime use. It is best worn in casual, informal places such as maybe attending a barbecue or garden party. It has a very sweet floral smell which is perfect in warm weather. It is quite light and fruity which is perfect for me as I don't like to reek of perfume but rather leave a lingering scent as I pass someone.
People always compliment me whenever I have this on as I think ... ...a sensual, seductive scent so definately one to use if you're trying to impress that special someon.
The bottle is shaped like a spinning top, which I think is really cute, and I especially love the gold top.
This perfume does have a few drawbacks though, namely that it is obviously a daytime scent. On the few occassions I wore it at night I noticed that it became rather sickly smelling and quite sticky. However all in all I reccomend this product ...

Advantages: smells edible which is an advantage to attract the opposite sex!!!! Disadvantages: None
This perfume is fantastic, ive wanted it sinse christmas, and finally i got it bought for my 18th b-day (which was yesterday 25th march) off my great aunt. she bought it in a handbag size roll on stick. i couldnt belive how easy to use it was. and fantastically clean.
its a brilliant but limited edition. the smell is sexy and sweet, i think this perfume is certainly for the younger generation, aged between 16-25.
although the perfume that i got ... ...original bottle and thats also fantastic, its a funky shape that certainly captures your eyes. although my perfume was a present my sunt actually left the receipt in the bag, it was £20 for not a real lot, so maybe its expensive for what you get, although i recommend it.
i certainly think this perfume, is going to be big, i didnt realise my great aunt had taste, but she obviously has. ...

Advantages: sweet, girly Disadvantages: a little too much like jelly babies?
After wandering aimlessly round a perfume shop in Tenerife I finally found the perfect smell, something sweet and girly and definitely not citrusy and unisex as many perfumes have been recently. This is quite feminine but as it isn't flowery it is quite youthful, maybe nice for a teenage girl for a first perfume, or the kind of girl who likes to sparkle and play on her girly side.
It smells a lot like jelly babies which is nice if you like sweets ...

Advantages: Pretty bottle Disadvantages: Can be very overpowering
I was actually bought this perfume by my mum who has no and has never had any sense of smell. She tends to go on what the assistants tell her and how nice the bottle looks. So I was dubious abou8t this perfume from the very start. Well it is a pretty bottle, all girly and pink and diamond shaped. When I tried the perfume, again it was very girly and sweet, like you would imagine, it smells a little artificial however and the scent is extremely thick. ...

Advantages: Simply gorgeous scent, pretty colour, lasting Disadvantages: The bottle tends to fall and is a bit awkward
This is my absolute favourite perfume of all time, and I'm really a big fan of expensive perfumes. It's sweet and girly, and makes you feel totally happy with just one whiff. It's sort of what I imagine heaven would smell like, and all my friends now associate the smell of this perfume with me, which is great! If you don't like real girly scents, this is definitely not for you. However, if you like sweet scents that aren't too cloying, this is the ... ...and I've never had anyone complain. It makes me feel sweet and lovely and sensual and young and happy all at the same time. I always wear it on dates if I don't choose Sui Dreams instead.
I love Babydoll, the only thing that's unfortunate is that I try not to wear it except for special occasions because it is a bit pricier than some of the other perfumes I buy, and I don't want to run out! ...

Advantages: Very feminine, sweet scent Disadvantages: It can be a bit overpowering!
I love this perfume, its pretty much my favourite. I was attracted to it because its pink and girlie and it smells gorgeous; really sweet and fruity! If you're not into all that then it probably isnt for you! It lasts for a fairly long time but if you spray too much or in a confined space it can be overpowering!
I've bought it quite a few times and Im not yet bored of it. I usually wear it on evenings or occassionally during the daytime. I think ...

(+) Good Value and super classy smell, not too strong but will be noticeable. (-) None for me ,although the bottle could be a little more elegant to match the smell.
