Which Should You Buy?
Babycat is a seriously divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it vanilla that's not for the faint of heart. Expect to hear everything from 'masterpiece' to 'cat piss' - definitely don't blind buy this one.
Tomcat is a smooth and daring reinterpretation of a renowned icon, offering a versatile and long-lasting scent that balances playful energy with sophisticated depth. It’s a popular choice for those who want to make a statement.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent opening and strong, long-lasting projection make it a poor fit for the office. Babycat excels in evening and formal date settings due to its sensual and luxurious character and impressive performance, though some find it versatile enough for more casual, cool-weather moments.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its bold, long-lasting nature and warm spicy accords, Tomcat is best suited for evenings and social events. While versatile enough for some casual wear, its intensity makes it less ideal for office or active sport environments.
