SOTD - YSL - Babycat

This was hyped to high heaven last year because it came out for 2 minutes, and then got discontinued in the US and possibly France.


Vanilla is the strongest, suede is #2, and pepper and cedar. I need to learn how to detect the other notes.

Overall - it's cool. Would I take this over Mercedes Club Black? No. There are PLENTY of vanilla joints out there.

True to the notes?

They aint lie with this one.
I should've took my ass to sleep last night but Alexandria Fragrances had a 20% off EID sale I got through email. I picked up 4 (L'Meteore, L'Invasion, Glacier, and Mediterranean Coast)

SOTN (Scent of the Night---yea I be switching up multiple times in a day niccas :birdman: )


Opening: Kind of like a fresh & damp scent almost. Cool, chilly nights type shyt. Didn't really get the Pear til a lil after. Mandarin hit immediately tho.
💙: Def gettin' the airy floral vibes wit da Jasmine & orange blossom but the latter is quiet as fuc
📻: Vanilla, Benzoin, & Musk for a sweet & smooth dry down but it's almost a lil too smooth if that makes any sense. I dont want the shyt to be overwhelming by any means but strut a lil, damn. All in all, it isn't a "loud" scent by any means. Very fresh. Very versatile. Very chill----which ironically enough, next up /DJ Ghost voice/ is gonna be Pacific Chill prob :shaq:


Not sure where I'd put it in the standings yet but it's prob not craccin the top 3

You can definitely smell the sharp opening with the blend of orange/citrus notes--you can't miss it. The ginger itself is somewhat faint. It doesn't stay there though. It morphs into a watery/aromatic like scent with the marine note & type of sage used. As the missus puts it, I smell like a "nice day by the beach". It's pleasant though is the best way that I can put it. The wood & things come in at the end batting clean up to make it a full experience. I'm not mad at this one at all.

Rankings have to be recalibrated again but I could see it sliding in the top 3 in the LV standings possibly :ehh:


No shade but I really didn’t care for this one. It smelled super basic to me.

I went and grabbed my engraved 200ml bottle of imagination today and went and smelled some more stuff.

My wife loved the creed original Santal/vetiver/milieseme probably gonna grab decants to see how longevity is with my chemistry.

Her Cassili will be here tomorrow.

I put my son in Coach for men for daycare today

@Pharaoh All good. Different scents for different gents :troll:

But nah, with how shyt can interact with a nicca's skin individually and what you like personally, it's all a part of the game.

. He had that Dior Sauvage on tho of course. Shyt smell nice in the wild tho.

SOTD - Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Rhum and Tabac


If it sounds like Mugler's discontinued Pure Havane, it's because it's pretty damn close.

Erebody wants to smell like Cuba, and this is the fragrance interpretation of it. Sweet without being cloying. Tobacco factor here is there, but not heavy. Not even a red or a green, just leaves.

Heavily spiced, and even though rum is in the name, it's definitely like the rum in Pure Havane.

You can get pretty small samples with this house, but the 2mls are dabbers. :mjcry:.

Be aware.
