Dolce&Gabbana launches baby perfume

The smell of a newborn baby can't exactly be reproduced, bottled and put up for sale, but that isn't stopping Dolce & Gabbana from trying.

According to several news sources, the fashion house will be selling a perfume that's meant to enhance and accentuate baby's natural smell.

Earlier this month, the designers' luxury online magazine, Swide, featured a post with an Instagram photo that appeared to show the product's box. The image, posted by designer Stefano Gabbana, was accompanied by a caption that said "per I bambini," which translates to "for children."

The New York Daily News reports that the perfume will include notes of citrus, honey and melon. The inspiration for the scent was said to be baby's skin, breath and first smile. The new scent will cost about $44.

While the notion of perfume for a baby might sound unusual, the idea isn't new.

Back in 2010, there were already enough "Eau de Enfant" products on the market that blog ChildMode.com was able to showcase 10. Burberry and Bvlgari were just some of the designers behind those scents.
