by Dominique Ropion , Claire Liégent

Yves Saint Laurent Babycat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Elemi, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Saffron and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Suede, Cedar, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Babycat: Acquired

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

About

Explodes with a sharp, peppery kick, mingling with a resinous elemi. This fiery start mellows into a rich, smoky heart of saffron and frankincense, before settling into a deep, luxurious drydown of creamy vanilla and supple suede. A hint of cedar provides an elegant, grounding woodiness, making for a sophisticated and complex journey from wild spice to refined indulgence.
