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 - Maharajan Gold EDP
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

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.

Maharajan Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Maharajan Gold features warm spicy and amber notes that are versatile but best flourish in the cooler temperatures of fall and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

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.
