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.

Our Verdict - Baby Doll Extrait
Baby Doll dupes YSL's Babycat, a spicy-sweet vanilla-suede built around a pepper-and-frankincense heart. The black pepper opening and vanilla-suede base track the original well, though the frankincense-saffron heart reads a little flatter and less resinous than YSL's original. A warm, wearable spicy-vanilla for cooler months.

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.

Baby Doll

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

The spicy pepper-incense-vanilla base carries warmth suited to autumn and winter wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal Sport

Bold and resinous, it leans toward date nights and formal evenings rather than daytime casual wear.
