Rifaaqat

Inspired by YSL Babycat

Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Season: Fall/winter

Fragrance Notes:
Top: black pepper, elemi and pink pepper
Heart: olibanum and saffron
Base: vanilla and cedarwood

Overview: Rifaaqat opens with black pepper, elemi, and pink pepper in a bold, resinous spice accord that is immediately distinctive and slightly unusual. The heart of olibanum and saffron deepens the composition into something ceremonial and quietly luxurious, the olibanum adding a smoky, slightly sweet incense quality. The base of vanilla and cedarwood settles into a warm, dry sweetness that is smooth and long-lasting. Fall and winter, suited to evenings and those who appreciate fragrances that operate outside mainstream conventions. Longevity runs 7 to 9 hours. An interesting and well-executed interpretation of the YSL Babycat aesthetic that captures its dark, spiced character with genuine conviction and offers an accessible entry into that house's more experimental releases.
