I have been on a fairly active quest to seek out the old Pampers fragrance for a few years now and had very little success, until recently. Understand, I am NOT looking for a "nice" scent that someone thinls smells babyish, I am after the scent that when you catch a wiff of it instantly pings in your mind "pampers from the 1970's and 1980's".
I have attempted to get the original fragrance from perfumers, get the ingredients for the scent from Proctor and Gamble, and tried endless products that people said have that old scent. These all failed completely. Most people seem to have firgotten what they smelled like, or never knew. The scent was not baby powder, not baby lotion, it was very different.
Mommies scents are nothing like it. Secret powder fresh is not it, nothing in Proctor and Gambles product line I can find is even close.
So I started getting into looking into perfumes and colognes. Someone had said Amouage Gold Man cologne was it, i checked, it is not, but it does have slight edges in that cologne that start to touch on the area a bit. So I thought aboit getting into more vintage Amouage Gentlemens Cologne, but it is very costly.
I statred going extensive reading on perfume forums cross checking any reviews that mention diapers. A few stood out. I got a chance in a huge perfume store to test products and low and behold I came across one that is actually really close, at times i catch a wiff of this and it is almost "that is vintage Pampers."
The fragrance is Gucci Guilty Intense eau de Parfume for women. It has a gold bottle woth facing G's creating a window. Do not get the mens, it is nothing like it. I tested hundreds more bottles, nothing else touches this stuff for hitting the right notes. It is supposedly a oriental floral.
I plan on starting to ask people well in the know of perfumes if they can break down the scent and possibly create something almost the same but accent specific aspects of it to fine tune it.
I will keep you informed, but in the meantime the first legit fragrance I have ever found I can actually say hits pretty close is gucci Guilty Intence edp.
