CHILD Perfume

If you have someone on your list that loves fragrance, but does not care for the strong scents of most perfumes, we have got you covered! Well, rather CHILD has got your covered!

CHILD Perfume was created by Susan D. Owens in 1989 as her signature scent, but its irresistible charm quickly caught attention. After constant questions from admirers, she launched it in 1990, and it’s been a cult favorite ever since. Loved by celebrities and featured in magazines like Vogue and InStyle, it’s famously known as “the perfume that drives men wild.” Handcrafted and timeless, CHILD is a must-have for fragrance lovers everywhere.

This captivating fragrance enchants with an irresistible blend of exotic white florals, including jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and magnolia. As it dries down, it leaves a soft, lingering femininity that feels quietly seductive and deeply personal.

We absolutely loved the scent! It is more of an essential oil than a perfume and the floral scent is so soothing and fresh and pretty. It is perfect for young and old and it definitely will get you a ton of compliments and the question of “What are you wearing?”

The CHILD Perfume Oil Roll On is the perfect bottle to take in your makeup bag on the go or when traveling, and a little will go a long way. And they have candles, body creme and a Limited Edition Extrait de Parfum. You can even get a gift set with everything!
