I recently got YSL’s Babycat as a Christmas gift for myself, and although I really enjoy it, because I love the scent profile, I didn’t want to waste it on daily wears. For these regular occasions I usually turn to a clone, and Rifaaqat does that really well. It gives off the same suede-like vanilla as in Babycat, and especially for the price, you can’t beat it. Admittedly it does dry down to be a bit less smooth than the original and a bit more peppery, but again, as a clone it gets about 90% of the way there, and I really do enjoy it. Serves its purpose really well as a cold-weather fragrance and performs very well; a good 8 hours on me personally. Great addition to my collection!

Better than Babycat in my opinion. Sweet but sophisticated and not teenage like vanilla . Get 2 bottles … this baby us always sold out .

This is Woody, spicy vanilla, a little bit of a smoky feeling. I'm crazy about it. I can't stop sniffing it lol! I've been wearing it a lot this winter. One of the best! And good price!

This is a sophisticated, spicy vanilla. This was a blind buy and it was love at first sniff. This is lovely.

Paris Corner pulled off an amazing dupe of YSL's Babycat with this one, Virtually the same peppery dry (non-gourmand) smokey vanilla. I've never cared for sweet, cloying gourmand vanillas, so encountering Babycat was a revelation. But I refuse to pay those robbers at L'Oreal the outrageous price they want for Babycat. I would have given Rifaaqat five stars, but for the mediocre performance. As nice as it is, it is little more than a skin scent. I would happily pay 2-3 times as much if Paris Corner could up the performance. I've had it for a month or so, and it's half-gone, so clearly I think highly of this marvellous juice.
