Launched in 2025, Babycat Raw Bourbon by Yves Saint Laurent is a composition crafted by perfumer Dominique Ropion. This Oriental Woody fragrance opens with the sharp contrast of black pepper and pink pepper, which give way to the rich, earthy tones of saffron and olibanum. The heart of vanilla and amber adds a warm, comforting layer, while suede and cedarwood create an intriguing blend of leather and woody notes that linger on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply Babycat Raw Bourbon in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The spicy top notes are fleeting but impactful, making the base notes more pronounced over time. Best worn during cooler hours when the warmth of the leather and vanilla can be fully appreciated.

Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious.
