Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Babycat EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Tomcat EDP
Tomcat mirrors YSL Babycat's pepper-incense-suede-vanilla structure, but front-loads a much more aggressive pepper blast where the original leads with an accessible bourbon-vanilla sweetness, making Tomcat louder on skin and better suited to fabric.

Season and Occasion Fit

Babycat

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.
