    I have a decant of Babycat and I think it has a wonderful incense and vanilla smell. It’s a warm and comforting fragrance. Longevity is fantastic too!!! I absolutely love Babycat and I wish I could find it in the US.

      One of my lovely peeps in the comments mentioned that Self Ridges had them restock. However I just checked again and they have sold out once more. Maybe be on the look out there, if you can....they may restock again in the future. 🤞

    I am a guy and I love YSL Babycat. I bought a 5ml sample of it for $35 from Scentsevent and instantly fell in love. The first 90 minutes had a hint of an oriental smell to me but then that deliciously intoxicating vanilla kicks in for the duration. It was formulated by Dominique Ropion and smells just like Vanagloria from Laboratorio Olfattivo which was also made by Ropion and it (Vanagloria) is only around $170 for 100ml or try a decanted sample of 6ml for around $38. I sprayed Babycat on one wrist and Vanagloria on the other and for the most part couldn't tell them apart except that I think Babycat might have had just a tiny bit more of that delicious vanilla after around 4 or 5 hours. They both lasted around 14 or 15 hours. I did end up buying a 30ml. decant of Babycat (the largest bottle I could find reputable in the U.S.) for $170 from mycustomscent and it came in a nice little bottle. Bonus: if you like gourmand scents, try Sacred edp by Louis Cardin. It has an intoxicating opening of vanilla/chocolate liqueur and dries down to a delectible powdery vanilla brownie batter and lasts over 10 hours.

      Glad you were able to get your hands a on Babycat decant! Yes, I've heard about Vanagloria from The Perfume Guy here on UA-cam. I still haven't smelled it for myself, I've only seen the notes and the pineapple in the opening threw my off. But I still would like to give it a try. "Sacred" also sounds interesting, thanks for the suggestion!

      I still haven't gotten my nose on that scent yet. I've heard that it's a dupe for Babycat but I can't comment on that just yet. However, I did actually come across a scent that is also a dupe for Babycat and far less expensive. My next video is gonna be on that fragrance, which I plan to post sometime next week. So if you are interested please stay tuned. 🙂

      Received my decant of Babycat. Yes, it is very good. Sweeter than I was expecting but for a Vanilla I like it. I’m a big fan of incense. It actually really reminds me of a dupe I have for LeLabo Vanilla 44. Babycat is smoother and sweeter, but they are similar. I guess it’s that vanilla incense combo. Happy I got to try it! Been wearing it for a couple days now.

    Thank you so much for your review. I want to buy it even more. But i believe Babycat is not a Designer fragrance in the sense of Libre from YSL. Like Dior has the Designer fragrances like J'adior and the LA COLLECTION PRIVÉE Dior Line of Fragrance, eg. Oud Ispahan. YVES SAINT LAURENT Le Vestiaire des Parfums is the niche fragrance side of the brand that makes Babycat eau de parfum.

    • @LisaFragrance
      @LisaFragrance  2 роки тому

      Yes, I'm aware that Babycat is apart of Ysl's alternative collection but I guess in my brain it's still under the bubble of YSL. So while it's less designer-y, in my mind I still consider it designer. Thanks for watching!

    Wow, it totally sounds like a manly fragrance to me. I’m so curious to try it. ❤ PS. There is a luxury department store chain in Canada called Holt Renfrew that carries it for 340$CDN, which would work out to roughly 250$USD. But I have no idea if they ship perfume outside of Canada 🤷🏼‍♀️ but worth a try 😊

    • @LisaFragrance
      @LisaFragrance  Рік тому +1

      In my opinion, it's perfectly Unisex. The sweet vanilla MIGHT make it lean slightly feminine in the dry out, while the spice and elemi in the opening leans slightly masculine. You gotta get yourself a decant and see for yourself. ❤

    Just a pointer, most designer brands have private collections that are more “luxe” in quality and price similar to some “luxe” niche. So the regular libre line does not compare to the YSL private line. So some “snobs” still look into that as well. I think the only brand that’s abused their private collection status is TF. Every other designer still kinda maintains exclusivity like niche brands. Lol

    • @LisaFragrance
      @LisaFragrance  2 роки тому +3

      Yes, I'm aware. But no matter what private collections designer brands come out with, my brain will always register them as designer...lol. Just how my mind works. As for TF....YIKES...lol. In my opinion, the prices aren't justified for their perfumes. There are fragrances I LOVE from TF but I'm not willing to spend my coins on perfume with poor lasting power. Not really for me, lol.

      It's not geared specifically toward any men, it's unisex. I love it for myself but can also love it on a guy as well. It's beautifully vanillic, incensey, and woody. I would say even zen-like. Like a vanilla that ended up in a temple in the middle of the forest....lol....if that makes any sense. I will say it's like super feminine or girly-girl like a Delina. It's right down the middle unisex in my opinion.
