Babycat Yves Saint Laurent 2022

Fortunately, the initial cat singer choir has already been interrupted by some reviewers.
But I still look at you reproachfully, fellow perfume lovers, who expected kitten scent from this fragrance or have praised the cat in reviews.
Is nothing sacred to you? Are we in a cat lover's forum here? Did the advertising and release, as well as the concept of the YSL line (Le Vestiaire = the wardrobe), completely pass you by? I don't want to know what you would expect from a fragrance called Pussybow, but YSL saw it coming and the fragrance was, thank God, launched as Lavallière.

Babycat = leopard print. You're welcome.
When I think of the Goldie, Raven, Zoe, or the more comfortable Cherish pumps in leopard look, I can almost smell their colors.
Caramel-colored grosgrain, cognac-colored, buttery soft suede, the entire palette of Babycat colors is reflected for me in this fragrance.
We have here the elemih resin, honey-yellow, like a light amber, which forms a counterpoint to the heavy sweetness with its spicy freshness. Peppery, dark notes like roasted coffee beans (for me more cubeb pepper than pink or regular black pepper) and caramel-brown, opaque frankincense resin in its sacred beauty worthy of the savior yet so profanely lovely, enveloping, remain very present throughout the entire fragrance development, only slowly losing density and intensity to remind one of itself in delicate wisps of smoke after 11-15 hours.
Saffron yellow, like ochre from Roussillon, a cuddly suede touch caresses me all day without being exhausting for a moment. Like the most comfortable and beautiful pumps that you wear all day and simply feel good in.
And the vanilla pod. Oily shiny, coiling, almost oil-black pod, whose balsamic, enchanting scent surrounds its wearer with an extremely attractive, golden aura.
The "Le Vestiaire - Babycat | Yves Saint Laurent" can be described with all the adjectives that one can also attribute to beautiful YSL pumps - smooth, high-quality, refined.
And very captivating.
