Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The spicy amber-vanilla profile is warm and enveloping, best suited to cooler months rather than summer heat.
Occasions
A bold, boozy-sweet spice character suits evening dates and relaxed nights out over conservative office settings.
