Babycat, also known as Copycat, is an exact copy clone of Vanagloria by Laboratorio Olfattivo.
Created by the same perfumer (Dominique Ropion) who seems like he used the same formula to gain double money.
Since laboratorio olfattivo is true underground niche and youtubers hardly get at that, ysl is easier to hype. I’ll stick with vanagloria. Both are caramelized incense. Same juice in 2 different bottles. I really can’t understand why nobody knows about Vanagloria and Babycat is out of stock :-) Ropion is laughing at that i’m sure.
Similarities:
Rosendo Mateu 5: 75% Vanagloria: 101% (altough i wouldn’t say similarity, is actually the same juice in 2 different bottles).
I am the lucky owner of this beauty and unfortunately before getting my perfume I have read a few "reviews" about it on Fragrantica or Parfumo .. of course they are mainly unfavorable.
And we humans tend to be very easy to influence with visuals or text, therefore my expectations were low .. I was waiting to dislike it.
Then when I got it, with the typical luxurious YSL La Vestiarie presentation, the 125ml version .. I opened it, it was already potent without spraying and two sprays on each shoulder and one on the wrist to see what will it be ..
This starts very smoky and spicy in the same time, the pepper does a great job and the elemi with its resinous character makes it very mysterious, oriental like.
Then you are hit with the saffron, but not in big quantity .. and a big heart of frankincense, almost reminding me of the Dhofar one from Amouage, very very high quality smelling.
And in a few minutes, the awesomeness comes to life .. a vanilla to die for, in the company of the strong smoke and the nicest frankincense you can smell in a non Amouage/OmanLuxury.
Projects like a maniac for 4 hours or more .. then up to 8 hours stays like a skin scent, but so addictive .. so far this is the first scent which made sniff my arms over and over again.
I know Dominic Ropion created Vanagloria too, which is regarded as one of the nicest vanilla out there .. and I do not know the Laboratorio Olfativo creation but if they smell similar like someone said, why is that bad? Ropion created Promise for Malle and Oud Aquilaria for OmanLuxury which are 1 to 1 .. how is this not good, I would ask?
YSL made a good job here, the scent is awesome .. and has nothing to do with the name.
