What it is and what it is for?
Perfumes for children are more widely used in Europe, more specifically in France, and are becoming common worldwide.
Children's fragrances were created to be used in the hygiene and beauty ritual with the purpose of making them enter the adults' ritual a little, which arouses their curiosity.
What are the most used ingredients and their function?
Children's perfumes are usually made of water and natural ingredients so that the child is not exposed to alcohol or other substances harmful to their extremely delicate skin.
The main aromatic families of perfumes for children are as follows:
Citruses, extracted from citrus and fruit peels, such as lemon, bergamot, mandarin, mandarin, among others.
Florals, extracted from flowers, such as rose, violet and jasmine.
Which types exist and what are their differences?
In addition to aromatic families, another characteristic of children's perfumes is that they are Eau de Cologne or Eau de Toilette, since they are the lightest, that is, with a reduced intensity.
What is the most used packaging format and what are the most frequent sizes?
Children's perfumes usually have a more elaborate packaging, with pastel and more childish tones, such as for example Baby Tous Eau De Cologne by Tous, a perfume that attracts anyone for its showy and loving design.
Children's perfumes usually have only one size, the most frequent being 100ml, but with exceptions.
What to take into account when choosing a perfume?
When choosing a perfume for children there are several parameters that must be taken into account.
For example, as previously mentioned, the intensity and durability you want in a fragrance for children, the most advisable is to be of low intensity.
The notes that a perfume has is what makes it unique, with three types of notes: the starting notes, which are the aroma that is felt as soon as the perfume is applied; the body notes, which give the perfume more personality and also those that last longer; and finally, the base notes that are responsible for fixing fragrances on the skin.
It is important to take into account the ingredients that the perfume has, always giving priority to natural water-based fragrances so as not to endanger the child's skin.
What are the recommendations for use and tips?
The main question when using a perfume is, invariably, "where to put it?". Some areas of the body are more suitable than others for the application of perfume, as they make it last longer and work better at the olfactory level.
On the neck, behind the ears and on the wrists are very important points, because this area is a pulse point where the blood is warmer, which helps to amplify the fragrance.
Excessive use of perfume can harm the child's skin, so be careful with the amount you apply.
Another very important tip is where the perfume is kept. To ensure the durability of the perfume it is important to keep it in a dark and cool place. Places like the bathroom are not indicated due to the perfume being exposed to temperature fluctuations or places with white light, which oxidizes the notes and changes their odor.
What are the reference brands of children's perfumes?
A perfume loved by many moms and children is Petits Et Mamans Eau De Toilette by Bvlgari, launched in 1997, still one of the favorite fragrances.
Tous was also very successful when it launched two perfumes with two different versions, Kids Girl Eau De Toilette, for girl, and Kids Boy Eau De Toilette, for boy.
Other renowned brands to have their children's fragrances are Givenchy, Klorane, among others.
What are the pros and cons of using perfume?
The perfume promotes a pleasant smell in the child, which makes the child feel good. It can also contribute to a restful and comforting sleep for the child, as many perfumes have relaxing particles.
On the other hand, perfume can cause allergies and problems associated with the child's fragile skin. That way, it will always be important to check the ingredients and whether they are appropriate for the child in question.
