I love it. You can get the no-alcohol version. Decent/kind of pricey price. I love this scent over any in the Philosophy line. I do not like florals. This smells like a fresh baby, baby powder, or clean laundry. I tend to like it, but I do get sick of it after awhile and want to smell more girly. No one ever comments on this on me, probably b/c it is so subtle and just smells like I have fresh laundry on. I love Philosophy's packaging for sure. Wish I invented a multi-billion dollar company like this! (or at least worked for one), Oprah keeps catapulting Philosophy into superstardom!

I fell in love with the sample I received from Sephora. I recently purchased a bottle from Ebay, and I still love this. I will admit that it can be slightly cloying when I go through one of my "every-scent-makes-me-sick" phases. Still, it smells lovely-fresh (but not too sharp), sweet, and clean. Every time I wear this, some guy sniffs me and says, "You smell sooooo good!" I also love that people can't tell if it's my hair, my lotion, or my perfume. To me, that's the best kind of perfume scent.

I wear this to work because it smells clean. It's not overly girlie and it's not incredibly strong. It's light enough that I can spray it all over before getting dressed and not smell like I just went rolling in a flower garden.

At first I didn't like this as much as Amazing Grace, but now I really do like the clean-sweet scent. It does remind me of Mr. Bubble, as others have commented. That said, this obviously doesn't have the feel of an expensive fragrance. It has something slightly "annoying about it" and actually I find that all the Philosophy fragrances do, yet I still like Baby Grace and Amazing Grace in small doses.

I *love* baby scents but this one makes me feel nauseous. I think there must be a hefty dose of gardenia in it, gardenias mixed with tons of clean. Not my thing. Nauseating after a while.

I love this!
Normally, I am a fan of VERY grown up scents... I love Shalimar, various Chanels, Youth Dew, Oscar de la Renta, etc... but occasionally I like something girly for downtime. This fits the bill perfectly.
I love the powdery-sweet-pink-soapy smell of this fragrance.
It reminds me of the pink Avon bubble bath that my grandmother always let me use when I visited her house as a little girl. It also smells a lot like Clean's "Baby Girl" scent. I actually prefer this one, but like both. Also very similar to Philosophy's "Pure Grace"; but again, I prefer this one.
Only drawback is that this fragrance doesn't last very long at all. Clean's version lasts MUCH longer. Do what you will with that info. I like both and will continue to buy both... along with my more matronly scents. ;)

One of my all-time favorite scents, and also one of the few I get complimented on. Clean, uncomplicated yet not simple, and very comforting. Only problem, as everyone notes, is the staying power. I have the weird non-alcohol version of this, thinking it might be better for my sensitive skin, but it lasts, no lie, less than a half an hour on me. Otherwise, this would get a 5, and almost certainly be my signature scent. C'est la vie!

I LOVE this scent. It reminds me of(I know this is weird) when I used to stay with my grandparents on the the weekends when I was a kid and my grandma would get our of the shower and come in the den. She smelled just like this -maybe her powder? I dont know, but it reminds me of the GOOD TIMES.lol.My only complaint is that it does not last very long.

This is currently my favorite fragrance. So clean, fresh and pure smelling. It is by far my favorite of the Grace trio. Not musky and dated like Amazing Grace nor is it Ivory soap + dishwashing liquid scented like Pure Grace. The powdery scent is very mild and doesn't smell the slightest like diaper ointment or deodorant. Kinda like baby soap or powder with just enough grown up notes to give it a twist. You will not smell like a newborn. Baby Grace mixes nicely with the other Graces,I simply don't like AG & PG worn alone, and I also wear that combo on occasion. If you are looking for a sexy, powerful scent, BG is not it. It's very subtle. The only drawback to it and all of the philosophy fragrances is they do not last long. So carry a component with you to reapply a few hours into the day regardless of which scent you use. I wear Baby Grace year round and receive compliments on it nearly everytime I'm out. It also doesn't irritate my allergies, nor my husband's. That in and of itself is quite an accomplishment as fragrance is generally a no-no in our house. 4 rating due to the staying power.

Very nice scent clean and comforting. If overapplied can be a bit too sweet and cloying. Prefer Amazing and Pure grace.

This is my favorite of all the philosophy fragrances. Baby Grace is a very comforting fragrance. It smells faintly like Amazing Grace with lighter, cleaner, sweeter notes. It really does smell like a clean, sweet smelling baby, sans the puke and diaper smell. However, I find that Baby Grace has the least staying power of all the Philosophy fragrances. That's okay, because I love spraying it on all day. This scent is very relaxing and comforting and helps me de-stress throughout the day. Always smells sweet, clean and feminine and is never overpowering.

Maybe you have to be a Mom to appreciate Baby Grace, because yes - it does smell powdery, slighly floral and like baby soap, but that is the beauty of it. What Mom didn't love the smell of their baby (or any other clean baby for that matter)? Maybe I love it because it reminds me of those "baby" days (my kids are teens now), but I also have always loved powdery, clean scents. It reminds me of cleanliness. It is a very girlie, feminine fragrance. Not for those days you want to feel sexy and seductive (see Chanel No.5), it is for those peaceful, mellow days when you are feeling innocent and fresh.

I tried this on in Sephora last week. I didn't like the smell that much. But get this: The next day, a rash broke out on my arm where I had sprayed this perfume!!! And it took several days for it to go away. Good thing I didn't really like the way it smelled.

when i first smelled baby grace from a shop here in Manila, i loved it but i didn't buy it because of the price. but i can't get it out of my head (not that the fragrance lasted on me -- it didn't), until i went out again to buy it! later, i got tired of the scent, but now, i'm loving it again. i don't know what's up with that. anyway, i think it smells like our national flower called the sampaguita.:) smells so dainty.

Baby Grace is my least favorite of the Philosophy fragrances. While not an offensive scent, it's just one of those perfumes that gets on my nerves after a while. It's smells of sweet florals and light powder at first -- nice enough. But after a while, a sneaky melon note pops up to the surface. If not for it's subtle fruitiness, this fragrance would be great.

I really like baby grace. This is my favorite of the line. I just wish Philosophy had better packaging. I have this in the Grace trio and all of my spritzers, well they look like they're going to fall apart or just come out.

Sniffed this at the store and dangit--pure Desitin! I'd actually forgotten what diaper ointment smells like until I got a whiff of Baby Grace. Thank you, Philosophy. First you give us eau d'Ivory soap (Pure Grace), and now, a delicate bouquet of teeny butt rash cream.

Baby Grace is a twin to Calypso Mimosa, except somewhat softer without the grapefruit note. It's very light as well, and does have a "familiarity" to it that does make you think of a baby.

This is a very pretty smell, but, as with Clean, I decided after I purchased that it isn't a smell that I want to wear. It's very fresh and soft, but I guess being in my forties I don't feel comfortable wearing it. But all is not lost...I spray it on my two little daughters and they love it. I also spray some on my pillow and in my bedroom for a beautifully clean and lovely feeling.
