Babycat
Fragrance notes
Character
Wrapping black pepper, pink pepper and elemi around a sharp, resinous core, Babycat opens with real bite from the very first spray. Olibanum and saffron move the heart into warmer, spiced territory, dry and resinous, never sliding into full incense weight. Bourbon vanilla, suede and cedar close it out, soft leather under all that spice, warm rather than sweet.
Staying power is long-lasting, the pepper and vanilla settling into a steady warmth that carries through once the opening spice has quieted down. This reads as a cold-weather fragrance through and through, fall and winter being where the resin and leather feel most at home. The suede in the base adds a soft, powdery grip, rounding off the pepper's sharper edges by the time it settles on the skin.
Sillage stays modest, a warm, peppery haze that clings mainly to the wearer, noticed by anyone standing close. Winter cold suits it particularly well, and it clearly favors evening wear, dropping off sharply in appeal come daylight hours.
Babycat suits someone who wants peppery, resinous spice worn like a second skin, unisex in the way the best pepper-and-vanilla blends tend to be. It rewards patience too, since the sharp opening softens considerably once the vanilla and suede settle in.
