Babycat by Yves Saint Laurent is an eau de parfum that opens sharp with black pepper, pink pepper and elemi, spiced and a little resinous from the start. Olibanum and saffron carry the heart, warm and faintly smoky. Cedarwood, suede and vanilla settle the base, soft and slightly leathery, holding the spice in place. Launched in 2022, it works for men and women who want something with bite rather than sweetness alone. It belongs to cooler months, worn from evening into night. Most wearers vote its longevity eternal. Most also vote its sillage strong, so it fills a room quickly. Try a 3ml decant first to see whether that intensity suits you.

The community verdict
Black Pepper and elemi give Babycat a sharp, resinous start before olibanum, suede and vanilla settle in. Most find it long-lasting with strong projection. It fits autumn evenings, though winter and night work too, especially if you like warmth with a peppery edge.

The house
More from Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent opened as a French couture house in 1961 and added perfume to its work in 1964. The scents have a taste for contrast. Sweet coffee and vanilla sit on one side of the range, cool lavender, bergamot and geranium on the other, with cedar and vetiver keeping both grounded. Black Opium is where most people begin: a dark, sugary coffee accord smoothed with vanilla. Libre sets white flowers against lavender and citrus, crisp and a little severe. Y Eau de Parfum is the fresh, aromatic pick over woods, and Opium Pour Homme is warmer, softly spiced and powdery with a dry, herbal twist.
