Dear Perfume Guy! You did the right thing going to Galeries Lafayette Haussman. They have all the limited editions. A few years ago it was the only place that still had my favorite, Narciso for her - Oil perfume!
The problem to me is not the price, it's that it comes in such big bottles. In my country I can only choose 75 ml or 125 ml, which are both way too much product. I have a lot of fragrances, so that big of a bottle I will never ever finish. I prefer buying 30 ml or maybe 50 ml.
You’re literally the only person that has that complaint
@@Mmjacksom oh my God, I'm so unique!
Exactly. If you have a decent collection, for than 50 is overkill for sure. I personally prefer 30ml
"thankfully it fell on my foot" 😂🤣
Spoken like a true fragrance fiend! Oh Sebastian, you really are the best
My thoughts exactly!
Yes, that’s happen to me before and my heart jumped out of my chest trying to catch my fragrance baby.😂
Yes. I think many of us have been thankful that a bottle’s fall was broken by a body part or a mad fumble to grab it. 🤣
ugh but I just need a fragrance called babycat on my shelf and I need to be able to tell people i’m wearing babycat when they tell me I smell amazing
Keep hearing massive things about this, so......all ears for the alternatives! Excited
I think I will wait for Baby Cat to become available. The longevity factor is a big plus in my book. Thank you for the great review!
Love less expensive options! Thank you!
You are particularly handsome today Sebastian..I have been waiting to hear your take on this fragrance. This one is getting a lot of hype..and I am so tickled that you know of a more affordable alternative! It is soo cool they are both created by the MAN Dominique Ropion! I mean- it's almost impossible to get your hands on Babycat right now anyway...so, I will check out the alternative first! Thank You...xoxo
Oh yay! I’ve been wondering if you were going to review this one! Excited to watch the video! 🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏
I appreciate the review. It's nice to see something I've never explore. It's nice to learn from someone who is knowledgeable and doesn't act silly. As,I have mentioned before I have bad anxiety and Frangrances help me with that. Weird for most people to understand. I'm building a great collection and have come along way from my 1 bottle of Armani code 5 years ago..lol.Tha KS again for your reviews and knowledge.
Great job Sebastian. I enjoy your reviews!
this is a fenomenal fragrance! sprayed myself with it in the shop and on myyy I am getting it! expensive but so worth it. mind blowing for me . appreciate your alternatives
Hey Sebastian, awesome video. You are right. Babycat is quite similar to Amouage attar Vanilla Barka. Also Rosendo Mateu no. 5... Looking forward to the Le Vestaire Top 10
I love dupe recommendations - just subscribed!
Thank you, Sebastian for reviewing YSL Babycat fragrance. I am disappointed with those awful boxes.
Ropion has a great partnership with YSL, he was behind the Y line and many of the L'Homme and La Nuit flankers. Wish he would talk them into reviving Rive Gauche again.
Ropion is the goat he is a master master he’s one of the gods
The women's or the men's? I have a vintage bottle of the Women's though I never wear it- I must give it its day.
I’m obsessed with this fragrance. I got the sample a few weeks ago. LOVE.
Where did you purchase the sample if Baby cat?
With the euro and pound so close to the usd, now is probably the time to get stuff from Europe. Because what goes up.....well, it won't be so fun after that. Appreciate that alternative Sebastian. Perfumers love to recycle ideas.
I love how you describe scents!
Yessss. I was waiting for this review.
Agreed. Black Peppers = incense to my nose. I have real trouble distinguishing between the two. Rosendo Matheu 5 is near identical to Vanagloria, so we've got another dupe
I compared samples of the two as many people said on fragrantica they saw similarities between them and indeed Babycat starts to smell like Vanagloria half an hour after application. However, if I had to choose I would prefer Babycat because it is warmer and more cozy to me 🐱
I had no idea saffron can have leathery undertone until I tried Nishane Tempfluo. I really enjoy it ❤
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I want, I want Sebastian. Just for the name and even though I have Vanagloria thanks to you and your review from last year. I love Babycat name and been wanting since you announced in a video. Great review.
Great review Sebastian and a great comparison. I need to try both Babycat and vanagloria now, pronto.
Please do!
Thanks for doing this review Sebastian , I have been wanting Babycat for so long . I almost pulled the trigger on Vangaloria last week from a previous review . This sounds like a great alternative . Cheers Brutha 😎
I have both..with my eyes closed I can't tell any difference between Vanagloria and Babycat..it is almost the same juice in different bottles
I love your hair like that. It looks really good.
Great video Sebastian as always. Which one would you recommended between Babycat and Feve Delicious by Dior?
amazing review S!
Would Babycat be a good replacement for the discontinued Prada original amber perfume? I really enjoy the way you explain the fragrances and similarities!!! Great video!!!
Ordered Vanagloria. Thnx Seb :)
Looking forward for your new video and rating for BABYCAT YSL
Für mich riecht Babycat fast zu 100 Prozent wie Valjues Six der zumindest hier in Deutschland sehr gut zu bekommen ist. Und er ist günstiger. Danke für die tollen Beiträge
When I tried this one in store, it didn't do anything for me. I walked out instead with their other new release Lavalliere. I'll have to revisit Babycat another time.
Fortunately this collection is fairly easy to get in store in Dubai.
Babycat is very nice, but ysl Caban is nicer! Have you tried that release yet! Can you do a video on Caban! I've gotten so many compliments wearing that one. Very strong, stays on my shirts for days, even after I wash them!
Have it since 3 months, I will start wearing it very soon. Cool for tomorrow, i was looking for a top 10 of YSL Le Vestiaire !
Hi again Sebastian! Can u compare these 2 with the new black caviar release from atelier des ors??? Thank you ❤
Babycat is available at Holts in Canada, so I did test it out and it instantly reminded me of Mateu #5. Insanely so. I did purchased it, because it's stunning, but I'm really questioning my decision. On my skin, they are very similar.
Any differences regarding performance and smell?
Thank you for this review/info! I just ordered a sample of the Vanagloria (LOL it sold out on Ministry of Scent so quickly after you posted this! But, Etsy to the rescue). I have a small decant of Babycat and just got the "inspired" version by Dua called "Vanilla Baby" delivered today, hoping it would be close. I only sprayed a half hour ago so this is early thoughts...they are VERY similar in the opening, but then the Dua version leans heavy on the frankincense note (at least on me) the longer I sit here, even though that's not a note listed, that's almost all I'm getting...I am totally transported back to the church pews of my childhood lol. It's a lovely scent, but the vanilla seems to be SO quickly lost, whereas the Babycat vanilla note lingers and is what makes it feel like such a beautiful balance of the sweet and smoky/incense-y notes all the way through.
Great review. I smelled it but didn't get a sample. It didn't grab me but I might go back to Holts and grab a sample. I just have so many samples to work through, even if I got a sample, it could be months before I try it.
So glad to hear you’ll be covering the Le Vestaire collection. I’m slowly getting into it now and really enjoying it. Interested to hear your take. Cheers.
I see Dominique Ropion, I know I have to smell it ❤️
I’ve been wanting this since last year it smells so good and frankincense is one my favourite notes but shmoney and stock. It’s always sold out
Nice video! Btw nice glass too! What brand are they??
I noticed this trend that perfumers kind of copy themselves across different brands. Little disappointing tbh, considering the fact that Mr. Ropion is indeed one of my favorite perfumers as well.
Thanks for the review!
Great review Sebastian! 75ml bottle costs 190Euro and 125ml bottle costs 270 Euro. Vanagloria 30ml 74 Euro and 100ml 148Euro.
I finally got a decant of this and it was almost an instant love. about 30 minutes later i couldnt stop smelling myself. I didnt think I would like it since I hated Mateu Rosendo 5. But this smells a tad like Rosendo mateu 5 but not overwhelming rubber i also get a similar vanilla to Guerlain SDV. This is sexy and yummy. its 10 celcius today and its a bit sweet. I dont so quickly buy a bottle but i did quickly after trying it and sadly a year later almost i got it from debijenkorf in the Netherlands and it was €297 the prices must have really gone up. I love powdery fragrances and this smells how i wanted tobacco vaniile to smell i love the smell of
tobacco leaf and i know theres no tobacco note in it but the smokiness gives me that smell and its delicious and sexy!
Same story as you!! It was impossible to find only place that had it was gallery LaFayette :D
Ohhh I want this one!
I bought Babycat and Lavalliere from Selfridges to ship into the US.
Ooo interesting dupe. Have you ever tried Andrea Maack’s Coven? For some reason it’s making me think of that.
Thanks for sharing
I loved your demo of the box. The same thing happened to me - how frustrating. I couldn't understand why when I put the perfume back in its little square indent, the top of the box would not attach smoothly. So easy to drop.
The notes are interesting. I only have Trench from their collection.
Haven't tried any of the two but if they're that similar I go for Vanagloria. I also heard that it's similar to Rosendo Mateu No. 5. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
To me it's not similar to Rosendo Mateu No. 5. This is Vanilla and Rosendo is more Amber plus this is very dry and the Rosendo is very syrupy! But then again all noses are different! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy Good to know, thank you!!!
I'm definitely interested in trying this YSL fragrance, and I've been interested in trying the L.O. I'm almost certain that Dominique Ropion would use those ingredients in a good way: I enjoy Costume National Homme (EDP and Parfum) and Issey Miyake Noir Argent. Also, thanks for the info. concerning the price differences between the U.S. and the E.U.
Euro € and USD $ are basically exchanged 1:1 ..
@@joeschmidt6597 Thank you.
I have both Babycat and Vanagloria (thanks to your recommendation, Sebastian) and I love them both! On my skin, I find that the Vanagloria is definitely lighter, especially on the opening with fruity notes from the pineapple accord. The Babycat to me is deeper and richer, more smoky. Both are similar, for sure, just those subtle differences on my skin. Also, just fyi, the YSL’s Le Vestiaire collection is generally available in both 75ml and 125ml bottles, so there are two different price levels accordingly.
I have vanagloria babycat and Rosendo mateu 5 and i can confirm they are THE SAME
Which do you prefer?
@@olfactory_art Babycat, even though they are very similar.
@@DardanZekaj that's not true. Both of them share the same vanilla accord, however Babycat is smoky and spicy while RM5 is floral and musky
which one has a better sillage/projection? Am doubting which one to order
My boy( 12 years old) once dropped Amouage and the bottle broke, as weel as my heart :( The boy is fine, no emotional damage, we just talked a bit about this, so it hopefully won't happen again. Bought the perfume again :)
Orchidée vanille by Van Cleef and Arpels has similarities with Baby cat.
I've got to sample Babycat when I was in Berlin, but the first fragrance that came to mind was Rosendo Mateu no. 5 and to be honest I prefer that one more, so in the end I didn't buy it. I have Vanagloria at home, but to me Vanagloria is more similar to Penhaligon's Babylon, but without the incense. I guess I must try them all again. Thank you for the video!
Is it like the mid or drydown of No. 5? Cause I smell the burnt rubber in the opening, in no5 and it's unbearable for me. 😮💨
@@marisamountaki Yes, you smell the rubber in the opening similar to no. 5, but not so intense and after it is a mellow version of no. 5. It is nice and sexy, but pity it has that rubber note.
@@tabacarudelia8502 Dammit, the rubber note again, why they do this, nobody likes the smell of that!! 😅Thanks for replying!
I don’t know why Dominique Ropion “the master perfumer” is keeping copying his creations once& twice, he did the exact thing with FM the promise & OmanLuxery Oud Acquilaria, they’re almost identical, with little minor differences..
Nice video as usual Sebastian..
Portrait of a lady is amazing Ropion is a magnificent creator
I just received Tuxedo in the mail from Neiman Marcus which is the only place that had it. I guess it’s been discontinued, it’s absolutely a beautiful scent. So far it’s my fiancé’s favorite, I have always heard Women love Tuxedo. And I compared it to Moustache and it’s not even close. Tuxedo is far superior perfumery. I’m definitely going to get more into this line, can’t wait for the video on the line to drop today. Great review.
Moustache is nearly identical.
Nope Tuxedo is selling everywhere, probably the most popular from Le Vestiaire collection. Caftan was discontinued.
@@Xtina19 yeah now it is, Babycat is hard to get now, but my 10ml has been getting me by until they get some stock in. It’s as good, maybe I dare say better than Tuxedo.
Have you heard of Wilgermain fragrance house? I’d be curious to know what you think of some of their fragrances or of the house as a whole.
Yup, I looked at the note and have been put this fragrance on my list for months. I live in asia, no where and no chance I could get it T.T
Nice review! as always! You are one my favourite reviewers and love love and trust your advices. I found Babycat online and bought it for 297 euro for 125 ml and I've didn't dare to open yet since I want to find the 75 ml first or buy Vanagloria(actually that will be next). However I need to do my research since is sold out everywhere except on that online store.
I don't know why is sold out everywhere since is a 2022 fragrance?
I will have some advice on this in this weeks Your Fragrance Questions Answered Video 5. Stay tuned! :)
Just received a sample of Vanagloria, and all I'm getting an hour after application, is the sense that I fell into a vat of Lagavulin (a very peaty scotch whiskey). No vanilla so far. Actually Vanagloria reminds me more of Xerjoff's LUXOR sans the cinnamon.
Dominique Ropion used to copy his own creations and market them in different perfume houses, another example of this is Promise from Frederic Malle and Oud Aquilaria from Omanluxury, they are typical dubes with way different prices; how shameful
How do you know that? By the smell, or did he admit to doing it?
Hi Sebastian, I’ve complained to myself about the design of the YSL boxes as well 😅
Tell me about it
I hate those boxes too! The Mind Games line has those boxes and I almost dropped my perfume.
I love Babycat soooo much !!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Great shirt!
Well thank you. 👕👕👕
Someone at bergdorf told me that babycat smells like a mix of YSL’s « magnificent gold » & wild leather. I also smell a resemblance to Grand Soir
Sounds like a fantastic date night fragrance
I have never smelled Vanagloria, so I cannot comment on that, BUT when I first smelled Babycat, I thought it was a near dupe of Rosendo Mateu 5. It’s just as sweet and has the right type of smokiness, the only diff my nose detects is a bit more oud in the RM5, making it a bit more edgy. But I mean, they are so close, i feel owning both would be somewhat redundant. Right now, I cannot get my hands on a FB of Babycat 😢, so I’m enjoying RM5, but when I do, I might get rid of the 5… 🤷🏼♀️
I really wanted to try this one but the second hand prices make it cost prohibitive for me
I’ve been impatiently waiting for this to come back in stock at selfridges lol 🥺
Its in stock right now in selfridges
@@christopherbird2739 thanks for letting me know!
This is giving similar notes to BDK’s new Ambre Safrano. Wondering which of the two to pick for that ambery, leathery vanilla I’m craving. Have you experienced that one yet? Also, Babycat is a reference to a famous YSL print. Those who know the house well will appreciate the reference
I tried Ambre saffiano yesterday and has nothing to do! It’s very dry and old/granpa style! Nothing compared with babycat.
Rich, ambery, vanilic will be Babycat
🥰🥰 I LOVE vanagloria!! : )
I always prefer longer videos.
Greetings from Switzerland
will try to get my nose one it
Babycat isssss EVERYTHING! 😻😻😻Why are you not a fan of Attars? Just curious. Vanilla Barka is amazing too but it is a little pricey. I love anything Dominique Ropian does.❤
Is Babycat similar to Ensence Suave? I have ES and don't need a duplicate. I also own Absolute Aphrodisiac which might be in the same vein.
WOW, this perfume is already out of stock on the French YSL website, retail for 214 euros for 125 ml.
Thanks 😇
i really wonder where would you plase tuxedo(i know its dry ,thats what i like that woody vanilla , and on your skin may have longevity issues but if you layer it with terre d hermes as i have said in a previous comment almost a year ago it last even longer and is sexier )in that rated list .....
Thank you for the review, Sebastian. I've smelled Babycat, liked it but I still prefer Vanagloria, perfect balance for me!
Thanks for sharing!
This sounds up my valley but I just ordered Ambre Sultan and 3 other perfumes. $$$
Which one do you like more, Babycat or Vertus Vanilla Oud?
Sir, between babycat and vanilla diorama, what is your favourite please?
This is a weird one. He's right about it being a smokey, incense-y gunpowdery vanilla. if you want to smell like a suede jacket that someone loaded up with fresh baked cookies and left hanging in hippy head shop, go for it. It doesn't repel but it doesn't draw you in either. I'm left wondering, why? I might consider it, if they cut the price in half.
How similar is it to Rosendo Mateu 5?
I found this finally on a website based in Dubai. Would've come to 600 bux to import it.
It seems to me that it's common practice among master perfumers to use similar formulations when creating different perfumes for different houses. Alberto Morillas comes to mind: Chopard Nuit des Rois vs his very own Perfect Oud.
I have a fragrance with a similar box design and the problem is that the top fits too well creating high air pressure to build as you're closing it. What I do is wiggle it at an angle to release some of the pressure.🤔🤔
I was looking forward to this video. Selfridges carries Babycat but they sell out really fast!! I go on their website every day I might get lucky 🍀 😂.
Is Babycat different from Lune Feline? I am waiting on my Lune Feline to come in. But I’m also thinking if is worth having both or are they different?
They are totally different! Having both i d say better lune feline ❤
Its in stock right now in selfridges
@@christopherbird2739 thank you!!! I am on it!!!
@@Tatiperez78 get it girl! I just ordered one
Based on the review, it should be similar to Continuum by Tumi too. Sebastian, how close do these smell (if they do) ?
Not at all. They smell nothing alike! ;)
Does this beat ani ? Or something like absolute aphrodisiac?
It selling on Ysl Canada website
