Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

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.
Seasons
The creamy vanilla-suede and warm-spicy incense base make it a firmly cold-weather scent, shining in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its sensual, sophisticated spicy-vanilla character suits evenings, dates and formal wear far more than the office or sport.
