Rifaaqat by Paris Corner isn't posted so these aren't even the best clone of Babycat.

Emir Paris Corner Rifaaqat has that creamy thick babycat DNA, yes it's not 100% 1 to 1 but it's close enough at 1/20th of the price, that beautiful velvety suede and vanilla spicy combo is just insane, I genuinely start punching the air when I sniff this because it smells so nice.

A bottle of Rifaaqat arrived in my mailbox today - I've been waiting for this with great anticipation, because it's supposed to be a clone of YSL Babycat - everything I've seen or read about Babycat indicated to me that it would probably be something I'd really like, but it's much too expensive for

Rifaaqat is the closest to OG but not quite as smooth the Fierte has more vanilla and not as much pepper and elemi.

I know that aromatix prefers fierte by French Avenue as the best clone for babycat, but I prefer rifaaqat, because it's a lot more potent.

Seems I never saw anyone mention it, but I find Rifaaqat (YSL Babycat clone) and Exclusif tabac (CH Mystery Tobacco) to be very close to each other.

I have Rifaaqat and Babycat and actually prefer the clone, Babycat has something that kind of bothers me, not sure if it’s the incense or suede leather but it’s much softer on Rifaaqat, thinking about getting rid of Babycat soon
A Reddit comment, Sep 2026, 1 point
nayel is much more fresher than the og and has a little bit sweet tonka note, rifaaqat on the other hand has that og baby cat spicy animalic drydown, but it has a weird burnt battery smell opening, homestly both are great its just that if you want a closer dupe go for rifaaqat even the juice color i
