What do reviewers say about Babycat and Ébène?
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
The artemisia and clove opening is not a soft hello. It announces itself with medicinal bite that either intrigues or alienates immediately. Frankincense and guaiac wood emerge.Ébène
