What do reviewers say about Winter of '99 and Babycat?
Winter of '99 is not subtle. It is sticky-sweet molasses, sharp nutmeg, and vanilla that lingers like a memory you cannot shake. The woody notes are the only thing keeping it grounded.Winter of '99
This is the YSL tuxedo translated into scent. Ropion understands the assignment: power without aggression, warmth without sweetness overload. The suede in the drydown is exceptional.Babycat
