Speaking to the Daily Mail, Lorna McKay, a former perfume buyer at Harrods and co-founder of The Perfume Society, believes baby scent is becoming more popular because we are embracing more international cultures:

"Scent is a key part of French culture, Women are also prepared to be more experimental and try new things. It doesn’t have to be just talc and Vaseline any more. Perfumes for babies are always made without alcohol and tend to be very dilute; barely there in some cases."
