Babycat is Copycat
Or also... The baby cat plays on a velvet blanket and knocks over a small bowl of tonka beans.
In the opening, the fragrance smells sooo similar to Velvet Tonka , that I assure myself several times not to have grabbed the wrong AF. I actually have both fragrances :)
Conclusion: Opening 1:1 of the Velvet Tonka. The fragrance pyramids of the two fragrances are not 1:1 similar to each other.... now I'm confused.
Tonka, vanilla, marzipan... sweet incense spice!
In the drydown, it becomes smokier and a bit peppery again. But somehow.... not essential. For me, the twin impression remains to the Velvet Tonka.
In the further development then comes marzipan. Beautiful. Also here. Nothing new.
After 2 hours, it is still beautiful... and still Velvet Tonka.
Also the durability and sillage is good!
Conclusion: a fragrance twin. bdk is according to research appeared 1 year before ysl, consequently ysl has "stibitzt".
Basically, I find it a bit of a shame that it is a fragrance twin - the special is somehow lost there.
I like fragrances in the niche - and higher price segment, which are at most slightly similar, but at all times "stand for themselves". No copy.
Both fragrances it does not need at all, with a purchase I would still advise the 2 to test, since it is here about my very personal impression :)
And then I would- personally take the Velvet Tonka, he was there first and "deserves" it in my eyes more to be considered.
To all who don't care, you can take the one that is the better deal. :)
The scent is as individual as this review is (not) - only the fact that I tested Velvet Tonka first makes the babycat a copycat for me. I could post the contents of the review to Velvet Tonka as well. Aaaaaber, he still gets its own review.
Is a great autumn-winter fragrance, but there is already from BDK. Therefore, also something deduction in the fragrance rating
