Natural perfumes for the little ones

The sweetness of the gentlest essential oils

The For the Little Ones section collects Olfattiva products designed to accompany children with the sweetness of the gentlest essential oils. At its heart is the Coccole Line, created to establish simple and reassuring rituals, capable of bringing calm, softness, and harmony to daily moments.

The aromatic synergies are formulated with great care, choosing gentle notes suitable for the world of childhood: fragrances that caress, envelop, and help create a serene atmosphere for children and the whole family. These products transform daily gestures – bedtime, changing, playtime – into small rituals of tenderness.

Products from the Coccole Line

The line includes the Carezza Perfume (115 ml), the Dolci Nanne Pillow Spray (in 115 ml and 50 ml sizes), the Elisir Coccole Body Oil (100 ml), the Coccole Roll-On (10 ml), and the Dolci Nanne Essential Oil (5 ml). Each product is designed for a specific moment in the child's day.

The Carezza Perfume envelops with a sweet and gentle note; the Dolci Nanne Spray accompanies rest time, to be misted onto pillows and sheets; the Elisir Coccole nourishes the skin with a delicate aromatherapy massage; the Coccole Roll-On, practical and pocket-sized, is applied to wrists and feet; the Dolci Nanne essential oil is diffused in the room to create a relaxed atmosphere before sleep.

A guide by age group

Caring for little ones also involves respecting their timing. For the first 6 months of life, we advise against using any fragrance to allow the child to become familiar with the scents of their new life: the scent of mom, dad, and home. This is a delicate and precious phase, during which the newborn's sense of smell establishes its first points of reference.

After 6 months, perfume mists can be diffused into the environment or onto fabrics – sheets, pillows, and soft toys – following the child's natural sensitivity. In the diffuser, 2-3 drops of Dolci Nanne essential oil are sufficient; from 1 to 3 years, the quantity also depends on the size of the room. The Coccole Roll-On can be applied up to twice a day to the wrists and soles of the feet.

From 4 years old, the Carezza perfume can also be applied directly to the skin. Before this age, it can be misted onto clothes and in the environment. Up to 6 years old, it is still advisable to choose perfumes formulated with essential oils suitable for little ones, which are sweeter and more delicate.

Why choose delicate essential oils

Essential oils are highly concentrated raw materials: a few drops contain a large amount of plant essence. For this reason, for children, we always choose notes with a sweet and gentle fragrance, such as Lavender, Orange, Mandarin, Chamomile, Vanilla, and Lemon, and carefully calibrate the quantities.

Lavender is among the most recommended essential oils for little ones: relaxing and reassuring, up to 2 years old, diffusing 1 or 2 drops into the environment is sufficient to benefit from its properties. Orange and Mandarin bring serenity and sweetness; Chamomile aids calmness. These are the notes found in the synergies designed for the Coccole Line.

During breastfeeding, we suggest that mothers avoid applying essential oils to body areas with which the child might come into contact, and for the first 6 months, not to apply them to their own skin, to preserve the olfactory familiarity between mother and newborn.

What 100% natural means for children

For little ones, naturalness is not a detail, but a guarantee. The products in the Coccole Line have a 100% natural formulation, designed to accompany daily life with delicacy, even for the most sensitive noses. No synthetic molecules, no chemical fixatives: only pure and integral essential oils in organic grain alcohol or almond oil.

We believe that children's care deserves the utmost purity, because their skin and sense of smell are particularly receptive. For this reason, we select raw materials with even greater attention, and calibrate the formulations to be extremely delicate.

How products for little ones are created

Like every Olfattiva creation, the products of the Coccole Line are born in the Massa Lombarda Workshop, through careful and conscious actions. The selection of raw materials begins with encountering the plant: we work with a network of selected producers, which allows us to know the traceability and quality of each essential oil.

Packaging is done entirely by hand: while we work, we try to maintain beautiful, clean, and bright thoughts. For products dedicated to children, this intention of care takes on an even deeper meaning: we want every bottle to contain a good formula and good information, to be given to little ones and those who care for them.

Natural, vegan, and cruelty-free

All Olfattiva products, including those designed for little ones, are 100% natural, handcrafted in the Massa Lombarda Workshop. They are vegan and cruelty-free, formulated with only plant-based raw materials, without animal derivatives and without synthetic substances. Olfattiva is certified AIAB Bio Eco Cosmesi and Vegan OK.

For children, this choice of purity and ethics is even more important. We believe in the law of resonance: what enters a formula carries information with it. For this reason, we want products dedicated to little ones to convey only the gentle and luminous message of plants.

A gift idea for new parents

All products in the Coccole Line are the perfect gift for those who are pregnant or have just become mothers. They are a thoughtful, natural, and gentle gift that accompanies the baby's first months of life with delicacy and care.

We recommend the Coccole Line to any new parent looking for natural and delicate products for their baby's care: a way to surround little ones with the gentle language of plants, right from their first daily gestures.

Safe use of essential oils with children

Essential oils are highly concentrated raw materials and should be used with caution, especially with little ones. In general, we advise against applying pure essential oils directly to the skin: a few drops contain a large amount of plant essence, and if used undiluted, they can cause redness or sensitization.

For children, we therefore prioritize diffusion into the environment, misting onto fabrics, and the already formulated and diluted products from the Coccole Line, designed to be extremely delicate. For diffusion, we always choose notes with a sweet and gentle fragrance and small doses: for Lavender, for example, up to 2 years old, 1 or 2 drops in the environment are sufficient.

Even in choosing a diffuser, we recommend caution: ultrasonic diffusers with a water base and controlled temperature are ideal in children's rooms because they micro-humidify the air and fully preserve the properties of essential oils, without altering them with heat.

Why the first months are so important

In the very first months of life, a newborn's sense of smell is engaged in a delicate and fundamental task: recognizing and becoming familiar with the scents of their new life. The scent of mom, dad, and home become reassuring reference points that build the child's sense of security.

For this reason, for the first 6 months, we advise against using any fragrance, and suggest that mothers do not apply essential oils to their skin: this is a choice of deep respect for the child's natural timing. Only after this phase can the first delicate fragrances be introduced gradually and gently onto fabrics and into the environment.

A ritual of tenderness for the whole family

The products designed for little ones transform daily gestures into small rituals of tenderness: the Dolci Nanne spray on the pillow before bedtime, the Coccole Roll-On on the wrists, a few drops of delicate essential oil diffused in the room. These are simple gestures that create a serene atmosphere and accompany the child through the most important moments of the day.

The Coccole Line is designed to accompany not only children but the whole family: its gentle and reassuring notes are also loved by adults seeking sweetness and calm. It is Olfattiva's way of caring for little ones and those around them, with the same vibrant delicacy of plants.

What 100% natural means for children

For little ones, naturalness is a guarantee, not a detail. The products in the Coccole Line have a 100% natural formulation, designed to accompany daily life with delicacy, even for the most sensitive noses. No synthetic molecules, no chemical fixatives: only pure and integral essential oils in organic grain alcohol.

We believe that children's care deserves the utmost purity, because their skin and sense of smell are particularly receptive. For this reason, we select raw materials with even greater attention and calibrate the formulations to be extremely delicate. We believe in the law of resonance: we want products dedicated to little ones to convey only the gentle and luminous message of plants.

Tips for supporting growth

Supporting little ones with aromatherapy means respecting every stage of their growth. Under 6 months, no fragrance. After 6 months, delicate fragrances on fabrics, pillows, sheets, strollers, and in the environment, and 2-3 drops of Dolci Nanne in the diffuser. From 4 years old, the Carezza perfume can also be applied to the skin.

For the bedroom, we recommend notes that promote relaxation and aid restful sleep, such as Lavender and the Dolci Nanne synergy. These are simple gestures that help build reassuring rituals, punctuating daily moments with sweetness and creating a serene atmosphere for the whole family.

Also for mom and the home

The products designed for little ones often also accompany mom and the home, because their gentle notes create a serene atmosphere for the whole family. The Dolci Nanne spray can delicately perfume the nursery; the Carezza Perfume accompanies moments of tenderness; the Dolci Nanne essential oil, diffused in the environment, gently prepares for rest.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the recommended essential oils – from the second trimester onwards – are the sweetest and most delicate, such as Lavender, Chamomile, Orange, and Mandarin, to be diffused in the environment to create a relaxed atmosphere. This is Olfattiva's way of gently accompanying not only the child but the entire family unit, right from the first months.

For new parents, the Coccole Line also represents a perfect gift idea: a thoughtful, natural, and gentle gift that conveys attention and care towards those experiencing one of life's most important moments.

Natural, vegan, and cruelty-free: a guarantee for little ones

To conclude, it’s worth reiterating: all products designed for children are 100% natural, handcrafted in the Massa Lombarda Workshop, vegan and cruelty-free, formulated with only plant-based raw materials and without synthetic substances. Olfattiva is certified AIAB Bio Eco Cosmesi and Vegan OK.

For little ones, this choice of purity and ethics is even more important, because their skin and sense of smell are delicate and receptive. Every product in the Coccole Line is designed to accompany them with the vibrant sweetness of plants, in complete safety.
