A New Generation of Luxury

A luxury perfume for babies. Fragrance company Dolce & Gabbana is now producing a fragrance specifically made for babies. Bearing in mind that many parents may not want to mask the smell of their child, the creators of the perfume apparently used hints of bergamot, honey and musk to accentuate the natural odour of new-borns.

Crazy as it sounds there is most likely a reasonable market for this product, as many parents already use scented products such as talcum powder and baby lotion, so not so far-fetched. Plus this product has the added appeal of being a luxury item.
