Yves Saint Laurent Babycat EDP

Description

Yves Saint Laurent Babycat EDP is a sweet-smoky unisex statement, incense and saffron wrapped around dark bourbon vanilla and suede.

Created by master perfumer Dominique Ropion for Yves Saint Laurent (France, 2022), Babycat opens with a peppery, slightly intense burst before settling into warm frankincense, soft suede and creamy vanilla. Reviewers describe a difficult-but-rewarding opening that blooms into “beautiful incense and dark vanilla”: a cozy, refined cold-weather scent.
