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.
Maharajan Gold delivers a warm blend of spices and amber, creating a rich and inviting scent that stands out in cooler weather.

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
Maharajan Gold features warm spicy and amber notes that are versatile but best flourish in the cooler temperatures of fall and spring.
Occasions
With moderate projection and warm, sweet notes, Maharajan Gold is ideal for dates and casual outings rather than the strict confines of formal or sporty settings.
