I’m in the minority that doesn’t really like Babycat very much. I love Ombré Leather, and I love Absolute Aphrodisiac by Initio. Maybe this’ll still be worth checking out as another addition to those softer smoother leather frags.

Fair to say the already known TF hasn't been TF for a long while now. Interestingly enough about this version, how quickly it took a nose dive within 2-2.5 hours in. It would receive less flack it was named differently.

When Babycat first came out I tried it. I liked it, but not enough to buy. It would be interesting to see how I respond to this one.

[@raulsaavedra709]

Looking forward to smell it. Haven't smelled Babycat yet, curious about this similarity.

[@benbear06]

I was taken aback the same way as you when I smelled Babycat! As it dried down on my skin it smelled like an edt version of Babycat over freshly shaven skin (with old fashioned shaving cream). I really like it a lot but have Babycat and Vanilla Barka.

[@mylife4631]

Wow i hav babycat . Direkt i Will do order. Thank you so much 👍👍👍

[@sandymcconnell1969]

I've just smelt this, and it DOES smell like Babycat.

[@phosphorusdaemon7]

This perfume reminds me of my sister's baby dolls back from the 90's when we were kids. Their skin was smelling like vanilla, chocolate.

[@PierreElchaar]

I definitely get babycat, even on skin. Hints at lune feline maybe

[@michaelmcdonald9847]

Do you have a Neroli Portofino Parfum review yet?

[@ryujinzengen6053]

When I heard about this release and saw the mentions of cardamom and vanilla, I thought of Noir Extreme. Now that you mention YSL Babycat it seems like it's indeed going in that direction more or less. Curious to smell it when I find it somewhere.

[@scentanity2280]

That's a relief for me. Finally an Ombre Leather /Tuscan Leather flanker for me! 😅

[@kevinstraussopulencia8319]

🔥Been waiting for this one

[@ashleylala4293]

I enjoy a well blended leather but the standard Ombré Leather was a no for me. My favorite leather is Terenzi Spirito Fiorentino. Leather can quickly become a bit too much if it’s not blended with other bold notes that get to shine too. I do love Tom Ford’s White Suede and I would love to see new flankers for that one but it is older so I doubt they would make new flankers.

[@Fcm824]

Interesting will definitely test this out for myself soon and see the differences and or similarities to babycat, vanagloria, and other fragrances in this genre. Even if it’s redundant I’ll still pick this up and wear it casually.

[@BabatundeOni-p9o]

Wait, what?! Just when I was feeling special due to the unavailability of babycat in the states…now everyone in my neighborhood would be reeking of that gorgeous scent

[@harveytrevino2257]

I've been enjoying the fragrances that contain "Ambrofix". ❤ Something about it just smells so good to my nose. I'll definitely be picking this one up out of curiosity.

[@harveytrevino2257]

Okay, finally picked it up. The ambrofix gave my skin a Honeyed-Leather type of vibe. In the air, this is SO good. I've never smelled babycat, but if this is what it smells like, I understand why it's so hyped. I'm glad to have this one in my collection. I picked up the 100ml to be sure I had enough. ❤❤

[@mabe7417]

Off topic ...Are there any other Freesia fragrances besides Jo Malone Pear and Freesia? I have looked but cannot find anything. Thank you for your help

Nou Freesia EDP, Ashbinh and Burwood Freesia and Orchid EDT, The Library Of Fragrance Freesia EDT, Yardley Freesia and Bergamot EDT, Demeter Freesia EDT, Bronnley Freesia EDT.

[@LightOfJoy1]

Interesting! I would have never expected Babycat. At least it's similar to a perfume that's kind of hard to get in the US... Often when I try new perfumes, I feel they are at least echoes of others. It's why I prefer smaller brands now, like Imaginary Authors, Gallagher, 4160 Tuesdays. There's a certain amount of creativity, and if there's any recollection back to other perfumes, at least it's somewhat creative spin, and I'm not paying LVMH or padding other big corps' pockets.

[@oscarbanks3810]

Hey Sebastian, which one would you advise me to buy between the new release and TF Ombré leather parfum… thanks

[@dmac6704]

I’m not a big frag collector but I already have Althair and silky woods , I’m female early 30s would this be a good addition or redundant? I’m between it and Vanille fatale!

I am a bit disappointed since Tom Ford Fragrances often offer something original, even though it is not as great on the recent releases. But I didn’t expect that they release something similar to a well-loved fragrance 😕

[@lli_loue]

for those who can’t get their hands on Baby Cat, Pennhaligon’s also has an identical fragrance created by Dominique Ropion, which is called Eau the Audacity.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Man he copied himself 4+ times? LOL!

[@lli_loue]

@@ThePerfumeGuy 3, since this one isn’t his creation. but I guess Baby Cat has become so popular that people are just milking the cow. I actually find Eau the Audacity resembles Baby Cat even more than Vangloria. It hasn’t stopped me from being addicted to the fragrance though. 😉

[@kksdndr]

Nice!!! Have to get my nose on this one!!!

[@cityslacker6221]

fascinating! I wonder if the smokiness is coming from some of the new synthetic ouds. some of the ouds can be so leathery, some more berry like, some super woody and some smoky. I think some of the big synthetic houses are starting to make different oud chemicals. Will be interesting to see the ingredients list on this.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes absolutely could be!!

[@OceanluvOC]

If it smells anything like Baby Cat I definitely would not like it because BabyCat literally smells awful on me 🤢I got BabyCat from a friend who travels. I think it smells horrible and it gave me a migraine…

[@ashleylala4293]

That happens to me with a lot of the super hyped fragrances. I’ve just had to accept that my taste is very different from most people’s. I hear descriptions that sounds great and then what I smell is nowhere even close to what they described. For example when people mention clean, soapy aldehydes, it often smells like urine to my nose. I guess life is just funny like that, we all have our different perspectives.

[@kristiankjrgaard2173]

Honestly, hasnt the brand lost its Magic after Tom ‘left the building’? To me the hype and the High pricing looses its validation when the founder has dropped out completely and sold Estee Lauder which is not luxury on the same level - or am I wrong???

[@redolenss]

Estee Lauder has always owned the fragrance and beauty division of Tom Ford ever since he launched the brand, but yeah, now that he left, things are definitely going to be different.

[@nathanthomas5133]

Yeah you’re wrong. Estée Lauder has always owned Tom Ford Beauty, he licensed them his name & had some creative input. He just sold them the fashion side of the business so now they own the whole thing.

[@ashleylala4293]

I totally agree. I LOOOVED Jo Malone but after Jo Malone left, it’s never been the same. Her French Lime Blossom was one of my favorite perfumes of all time and I still get upset that it’s discontinued.

[@andylee8893]

Baby Cat smells great but I don’t think I will get a similar one. It makes sense to spend the money on something else.

I think vanilla perhaps is a femme leaning note but there's loads of leather and spices and woods so I think it's quite unisex whereas the original leans more masculine to me! :)

I wouldn't say it's a dupe but it really reminds me of Babycat. I think this will get the rollout everywhere so I suggest you sample it. I even got 2 compliments on the first full day of wearing.

[@Sozialkompetenz]

Fragrance is a license business. So whatever Este Lauder, Coty or J&J decide to do with these brands, their main focus is making the most money using the cheapest ingredients and investing as little in marketing as they need to maximize revenue. It’s a wonder that these brands like Tom Ford even still exist.

[@willy1957]

I am not surprised as there is a market for these high end fragrances. It all started with Creed and now there is wide choice for those who can afford. The positive evolution is that Designer brands try to get better and putting more effort into their perfume products.

[@lovli31]

Hey Sebastian! This is interesting.

[@ashleylala4293]

It’s about time some American brand copied Babycat. Everyone is always going on and on and on about that one but no one can ever find it anywhere. It’s not my taste at all but a lot of people seem to be obsessed with it.

[@IamAdrienne]

Tom Ford doesn't do dupes. In addition, the notes appear to be different from Babycat. Therefore, I don't think it intended to be a dupe.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Agree, this is the first time I’ve seen something that reminds me of another fragrance from this house.

[@fragrancejourney01]

Great review. Hope to meet you at Exsence in February.

[@johnjohannes5954]

After Tom Ford sold the company , there are no original releases nor interesting ones. Everything is overpriced and they either bring back discontinued releases or out flankers after flankers or "stronger" intepretations of the old good ones. It is not a coincidence that this one is inspired of baby cat.
