Babycat
Babycat by Yves Saint Laurent is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with pink pepper, black pepper and elemi, moves into frankincense and saffron and dries down to vanilla, cedarwood and suede. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Heart
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
