Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, overhyped, and a magnet for debate - but if you're not bothered by the 'Babycat clone' discourse and appreciate a robust, smoky vanilla-suede, this is a banger. Not for the faint-hearted or those who avoid strong saffron and leather.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Louis Vuitton Noveau Monde - a leather fragrance led by Cacao, Leather, Oud, with oud depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its smoky, leathery, and boozy accords, make it unsuitable for office wear. It truly shines on a date or for formal evening events, where its luxurious warmth and mysterious undertones can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual setting.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the leather, oud profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the leather accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
