YSL Babycat Raw Bourbon (2025, Le Vestiaire des Parfums, by Dominique Ropion) is a real, unisex release: a darker, boozier flanker that shares an essentially identical note pyramid with the original Babycat (2022) — pink/black pepper and elemi up top, saffron and olibanum/incense in the heart, and a bourbon-vanilla, suede and cedarwood base — but pushed to a richer, more resinous, whiskey-cocktail sweetness. Because it launched under a year ago, there is not yet a deep, Reddit-grade clone consensus specific to the Raw Bourbon flanker; the established clone market was built for the original Babycat DNA and is broadly recommended for both. The three survivors below are the ones repeatedly named across YouTube/TikTok reviews, Parfumo and Fragrantica boards: Alexandria Fragrances Tomcat (an extrait whose aggressive peppers and dark, boozy drydown arguably lean toward Raw Bourbon), Maison Alhambra Ebene (the budget favorite, whose drydown is noted to turn boozy/bourbon-like), and Paris Corner/Emir Rifaaqat (cheapest, but the weakest and shortest-lived). Treat all three as clones of the Babycat family that approximate Raw Bourbon rather than exact, verified 1:1 matches of the flanker specifically.
