Which Should You Buy?
A peppered incense opening over a dark, ambery vanilla base, Rifaaqat is an atmospheric cool-weather statement built for evenings and confident wear. Not for the faint of heart.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Pepper-incense opening and a deep vanilla-amber base put this firmly in cool weather; fall and winter wear is built-in. Spring evenings work for the smoky character; summer heat amplifies the resin past comfortable.
Occasions
Bold, atmospheric character with strong projection fits date nights and evening wear; formal events work for the cathedral-incense gravitas. Too dense for office or sport, too distinctive for casual day in warm weather.
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.
