The FragDNA review
Deliciously sweet dupe, but far from Babycat’s edge
FragDNA · compiled from 4 reviews and 5 short takes from Parfumo wearers · 22 October 2026
- Opening
- A bright splash of orange mingles with whipped‑cream, marshmallow and a hint of coconut at first spray.
- Dry-down
- The scent then mellows into chocolate, vanilla and soft musk, missing the leather‑iris‑suede trail that defines Babycat.
- Longevity
- About two to three hours on skin.
- Projection
- Moderate, stays close to the body.
- Best for
- Gourmand lovers seeking a cosy, affordable treat in cooler months.
Paris Corner’s Qissa Delicious is marketed as a budget‑friendly unisex gourmand, positioned as a twin of YSL’s Babycat. Reviewers are drawn to its playful, dessert‑like theme – chocolate, marshmallow, orange and coconut – and appreciate the cheap 15 ml and 100 ml bottles that make it an accessible everyday indulgence.
Where it mirrors the original is limited to its sweet, creamy aura; however, the core of Babycat is built around leather, iris and suede, notes that are virtually absent from Qissa Delicious. The opening is bright and fruity, while Babycat opens with a peppery‑citrus accord that quickly leans into leather. The dry‑down of the dupe stays in the realm of vanilla and musk, lacking the sophisticated leather‑iris depth of the YSL.
Performance-wise the dupe is short‑lived, with most users reporting two to three hours of noticeable scent and a modest projection that hugs the skin. Its value proposition is strong for those who enjoy sweet, cozy fragrances without the premium price tag, but it will disappoint anyone looking for the distinctive, longer‑lasting edge of Babycat.
The verdictAround 20 % of Babycat – it captures the gourmand sweetness but misses the signature leathery character. A fun, inexpensive treat for gourmand fans, not a true substitute for the YSL original.

Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
On paper
Qissa Delicious scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Babycat.
Paris Corner 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.
At $30 it costs 87% less than Babycat.
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 Paris Corner 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
Yves Saint Laurent Babycat is bergamot and pink pepper at first, leather, iris and suede at its heart and vanilla, Tonka Bean and musk at the end. Paris Corner set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- pink pepper
Heart
- leather

Base

- 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.
