I think Love's Baby Soft was an eau de toilette vs a body spray. Body sprays are lighter concentrations of fragrance, usually in a bigger bottle.

And yes, my mother had a giant bottle of Jean Nate perched on the side of her bathtub ;)

Ok so I went back and forth on whether to include Love’s for that exact reason! I couldn’t figure it out. Old bottles say “mist” on them and I know tons of people loved it so I hedged my bets/pandered to the fans here 🤪

Yes, Baby Soft was my first fragrance, followed by Love's Fresh Lemon!

Love the deep dive into the history of body splashes. I, too, was confounded by the way one was supposed to apply the Jean Nate. But as a kid of the 80s, I always thought it was so chic and fancy and exotic. Little did I know.. lol
