Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Babycat Raw Bourbon EDP
This is a bold, modern take on vanilla, polarising some with its spicy, leathery opening but ultimately delivering a seductive depth with stellar performance. Not for the faint-hearted, it stands out from the crowd.

Our Verdict - Whisker Whispers EDP
Perfume Parlour's budget take on YSL Babycat - a sharp, peppery-incense opening melting into the addictive creamy vanilla-suede drydown reviewers adore. Owners of both report the EDP smells strikingly close to the original; PP captures the spicy-to-sweet-smoky arc convincingly, with only a slight loss of richness and projection. A standout vanilla-leather for a fraction of the YSL price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Babycat Raw Bourbon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, long-lasting projection and bold vanilla-suede-spice profile make it less suitable for an office, where it might be overwhelming. However, this intensity is perfect for dates and evening formal events, ensuring you make a memorable impression. Some find it versatile enough for refined casual wear, especially in cooler weather.

Whisker Whispers

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The creamy vanilla-suede and warm-spicy incense base make it a firmly cold-weather scent, shining in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sensual, sophisticated spicy-vanilla character suits evenings, dates and formal wear far more than the office or sport.
