Cuban babies usually don't smell like baby powder. Instead, you're much more likely to smell the sweet aroma of violets. Both girl and boy babies are frequently "baptized" daily with "Agua de Violetas." This is a tradition that probably goes back to Spain. In fact, most of the Agua de Violetas is imported from Spain.
