Yves Saint Laurent Babycat Raw Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Dominique Ropion. Babycat Raw Bourbon opens with Pepper and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Resin, Saffron, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Suede, Cedar, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Babycat Raw Bourbon carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

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.

About

Raw Bourbon opens with a sharp kick of black and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a rich heart of warm, resinous frankincense and exotic saffron. This spicy-amber warmth settles into a luxurious base where smooth suede mingles with creamy vanilla and dry cedar, creating a complex, dark, and utterly captivating aroma that’s both fierce and comforting.
