BABYCAT EAU DE PARFUM
A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. THE ICONIC LEOPARD PRINT CAPTURED IN AN UNTAMED, RAW BOURBON VANILLA.
THE OLFACTION
To translate Babycat’s endless versatility and irresistible appeal into fragrance, what better than the most feline note of perfumery? The celebrated Master Perfumer Dominique Ropion reveals a uniquely faceted, raw, intense vanilla extract: vanilla Bourbon infusion crafted for YSL Beauty to yield the full-bodied richness of the couture material. “I wanted to emphasize the leathery nuance naturally found in vanilla and to work the perfume around the contrast between this aspect and the gourmand character of the ingredient with its creamy, warm, sensual facets”, Dominique Ropion explains. In BABYCAT, the pod of the vanilla orchid remembers that, like the leopard, it is a creature of wild nature. To magnify its dark side and tease out its claws, the Master Perfumer has created a sensual, enveloping suede accord combining exotic spices and sizzling resins.
THE INSPIRATION
It’s raw. It’s couture. Forever iconic. A provocative classic. No one has gone wilder for the sensual feline flair of the leopard print than Yves Saint Laurent. It was first sighted in the couturier’s collections on a silk dress in 1968. Since then, from the iconic Fall/Winter 1982-1983 couture collection to today’s cult designs, Yves Saint Laurent’s Babycat print has prowled its way onto evening dresses, pussy-bow blouses, killer stilettos and countless covetable accessories.
The leopard print is a symbol of untamed glamour. Deeply intertwined with the Yves Saint Laurent style, its presence throughout the house's history reflects not only a bold stylistic choice but also an affirmation of the YSL silhouette – fiercely raw and exquisitely sophisticated.
Moreover, the babycat print's inherent boldness aligns perfectly with the YSL attitude.
LE VESTIAIRE DES PARFUMS
