I work at Benefit and while I love Maybe Baby, it's a little too sweet for me. While B Spot is marketed as "aquatic, fruity and floral", it doesnt really give the right idea of what it smells like in reality. To satisfy your curiosity and give you a first hand insight into the real scent, I would say it reminds me slightly of Issy Mayake (sorry if i spelled that wrong, its very late at night and its been a long day of beautifying!)... its very very fresh and summery, but has just enough sandalwood and amber added to it to make it ok to wear all year round. Im not a huge fan of cosmetics brands when it comes to fragrance, but this one smells different to the rest. It smells a lot more expensive than it looks! Hope this gives you all an incentive to try it out, and remember, dont judge a fragrance by its bottle! Love xxx Hi all! I work at Benefit and while I love Maybe Baby, it's a little too sweet for me.

Maybe was more apricotty/peachy fruity on me, so they will be different. I was kind of hoping though they'd come up with something deeper and huskier...I guess they didn't think their target would go for that!

I guess it could just be a scent that fades down VERY quickly. Either way, I was often told "you smell good" rather than "what perfume are you wearing?" I hope you will have a go at it the next time you pass a Benefit counter. I would suspect that it would not not make a huge impression, but it is nice simple scent for those types of days.

But to me, a skin scent is something that seems to meld with your skin, e.g. what you might think of as "your smell but better", as opposed to something that stands out as perfume. So glad you like the blog! I will be no help because I can't remember Maybe Baby!

I proudly wore Maybe Baby for a stint and it is a soft slightly peach-y scent (but not fruity)...and from the bit of knowledge I have acquired while perusing this sight for about a month, I would characterize it as a "skin-scent"...would love to know if I am "spot" on from you ladies who really know what all these words mean. p.s. really loving this blog. good to know I am not alone in my love of "too many" fragrances and has turned me on to a whole new world (ie: Tabac Blond...since this post is slightly dedicated to the errogenous - I didn't know it could be like that!)

They have taken a long time to come up with #2. Was Maybe Baby also aquatic? Given that this one seems to be an aquatic fruity floral, there is almost no way I'm going to like it. Hi & welcome!
