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 - Bourbon Baby - 2556 EDP
Bourbon Baby captures YSL Babycat Raw Bourbon's peppery-saffron-vanilla arc with a confident opening, but the suede-cedarwood base reads simpler and fades faster than the original's rich, boozy drydown.

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.

Bourbon Baby - 2556

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The spicy amber-vanilla profile is warm and enveloping, best suited to cooler months rather than summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

A bold, boozy-sweet spice character suits evening dates and relaxed nights out over conservative office settings.
