The Week's contest: Parenting perfume

This week’s question: Fashion house Dior is selling Bonne Étoile, a baby and toddler-friendly “scented water” that, at $230 a bottle, encapsulates "the tenderness of childhood." If Dior were to release a fragrance that captures the frustrations of parenthood, what name could it give the scent?
