Dupes for
Yves Saint Laurent Babycat
Babycat (2022, Le Vestiaire des Parfums, by Dominique Ropion) has no dedicated r/fragrance or r/fragranceclones megathread, but a real and fairly consistent clone-house/independent-review landscape has formed around it since its price climbed past $300-500. The most consistently cited alternatives are Alexandria Fragrances' Tomcat (extrait-strength, independently reviewed as very close and longer-lasting) and Paris Corner's Rifaaqat (a viral, cheap, widely-discussed dupe with a harsh gasoline-like opening that needs weeks of maceration before it reads close to the original). Maison Alhambra's Ébène is also repeatedly flagged as converging on Babycat's dry-down after the first few minutes. Dua Fragrances' Vanilla Baby uses an identical note pyramid and is a known, reputable clone house, though its supporting reviews are mostly on-site rather than independent. Lattafa Pride's Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold and several small indie-perfume-oil shops (hkPerfumes' Vibe, Wicked Good's Velvet Purr) also market themselves against Babycat, but community sourcing found their resemblance disputed (reviewers place Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold closer to Rosendo Mateu No 5) or too thinly reviewed to trust, so they were excluded.
