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.
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.
