In plain words

The main accords of Babycat are vanilla and fresh spicy. It opens with Black And Pink Pepper and Black Pepper, reveals Olibanum and Saffron at its heart, and dries down to Bourbon Vanilla and Suede. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
