The review
On paper, Vibe is a strong bet if you want Babycat for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Babycat's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 71% less than Babycat — the 7th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot and pink pepper, turns to leather, iris and suede, and settles into vanilla, Tonka Bean and musk. That is the brief Vibe is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- pink pepper
Heart
- leather
- iris
- suede
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- musk
Soft suede melting into vanilla and tonka, the most cloned thing YSL has made in years.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

Of the 16 twins of Yves Saint Laurent Babycat we can price, Vibe is number 7 on price per 100ml.
