Arthur? You don't come across as that masculine at all...

A little review after all...

First of all, a really nice start with a soft incense and vanilla with a good fruity note that is rather sweet and rounded, and not, like with other fragrances, where the grapefruit comes off very fresh and sour.
At first, it gives a very unisex impression, and I must say, this is a first-timer.
Then the heart note soon comes in with beautiful ambrette seeds and a slightly masculine-sounding clary sage. For about half an hour to an hour, it gives a somewhat more masculine impression.
However, this changes again in the drydown, as a distinct sweet tonka bean emerges, gently supported by incense. This slightly more masculine aspect is then pushed so far into the background that I can no longer see any reason to market it as masculine.
For me, it's more unisex, but certainly great on a man.
Unfortunately, it's a bit weak on projection with a reserved sillage.
This tonka drydown is also quite familiar.

But what the Babycat comparison is supposed to mean? That is completely unclear to me... with all due respect, no.

All in all, a good, rounded, pleasing fragrance that holds back a bit.
