A spark of Black Pepper and Pink Pepper cuts through the air, quickly warmed by the resinous glow of Elemi. The opening feels spicy and electric, with a subtle aromatic sharpness that draws you closer before the darker heart comes forward. Olibanum brings a smoky, incense-like richness, while Saffron adds a golden warmth that gives the fragrance its distinctive depth.
On the skin, the spice gradually softens into something darker and smoother. The smoky character of Olibanum lingers beneath the Saffron, creating a warm contrast that feels sensual without becoming too heavy. There’s a quiet tension between the fiery spices and the creamy sweetness waiting underneath.
Then Bourbon Vanilla melts into the dry down, wrapped in supple Suede and grounded by dry Cedar. Those who are looking for an alternative as YSL Babycat dupe or anyone who loves creamy Vanilla wrapped in smoky spice, soft leather-like Suede, and dry woods, this scent is a must-have!🖤

I have multiple Dua brand fragrances, unfortunately this one is my least fragrance. It doesn’t smell good at all. :(
Ima be honest I was skeptical at first, because when I initially sprayed it straight out of the box, it smelt like straight pepper, but after a few days of letting it sit the smell matured and it smells like a very warm and cozy vanilla, the pepper not to overpowering now, 10/10 blind buy would definitely recommend to anyone who loves a warm, spicy vanilla fragrance.
It's a winner. Is exactly the original. And better. Because the performance is excellent. Is addictive. Suede. Vanilla. Love it.
this vanilla rocks mannnnnnn another banger by dua
Bought this as a total blind buy, and upon the initial spray my immediate thought was not positive. Then the dry down hit, and every time I moved I'd catch a whiff that would cause me to bury my face into my arm to breathe the scent more fully and deeply in. After months of sitting this scent is even more intoxicating and the opening is just as pleasing as the dry down.
I blind bought this fragrance not knowing what to expect. I have never smelled the og I took the chance anyway and in my opinion a very smooth sexy fragrance love it.
Vanilla Baby Review Dua’s Take on Babycat If you browse through the Dua site, it may be overwhelming. However, I mean that in the best way possible. They have so many scents. It literally took me three days to decide what I wanted, so there is certainly no shortage of perfumes to suit every taste. One of the most often spotted notes in their massive catalog belongs to the vanilla family. On the site, you can find bakery vanillas fitting a Parisian cafe, boozy ones that sing of seduction, resin-dipped offerings that feel sacred, and many more. I recently picked up a bottle of Vanilla Baby, the brand’s nod at the ever-popular Babycat. I haven’t smelled the OG. Regretfully, I am just now fine-tuning my taste for vanilla, after being a staunch lobbyist against sweets for years. The journey is unlocking a part of me that I didn’t know existed, and Vanilla Baby seemed like a no-brainer considering the hype. What I found upon the first spray was alluring. A rich, luxurious mix of warm pepper set upon a bed of soft, smooth suede. It sings back to one of my favorite leather scents – Thameen Regent Leather, but it doesn’t smell like it at all. The toasty leather made me realize that this fragrance was painted with a similar brush, but with a different stroke and colors. The vanilla is the king/queen of the scent. Silky smooth and drenched in elemi, which gives an ever-so-slight citrus nuance and the sensation of balmy spice. An embracing boozy richness folds over the layer of lush vanilla, which is elevated by that velvety leather that I previously spoke of with a slightly sueded aroma from the saffron, which also lends some of its sweet spice to the composition. The olibanum is this is not lit like an incense note. It’s dry, warm, softly woody, and spicy with a slight citric touch. If you have ever ignited raw frankincense, then you probably know of that lemony spark that happens in the first few seconds. However, this is quite subtle, and I don’t think that you will find it unless you are looking for it, or if you aren’t familiar with burning raw resins. Vanilla Baby sings a tune of luxury draped in an aphrodisiacal vanilla bourbon with a chorus of rich leather and resins. This scent is perfect for the colder months, as it’s cozy and amiable. Whether you are dressed up for a winter party or a date night at a Michelin star restaurant, Vanilla Baby will faithfully enthrall all onlookers with the enchanting mystery of its aroma. Let’s be clear, this is not Santa Baby playing on the radio as a joyful holiday ballad. This is a dark, captivating, and alluring scent that won’t make you sing, but it will keep its melody firmly implanted in your memory, even when the chilly snow days come to an end. I can’t get enough of this scent, and I am pretty sure that you won’t be able to either.
good vanilla man
A little too candy sweet for my liking but really beautiful and a certified head turner.
I let it sit for a month and it’s spectacular! On skin I mostly get the leather, spice from saffron and pepper, and that’s it. But in the air my nose picks up that vanilla and maybe the resin and it all comes together to form a toasted marshmallow effect? I dunno, but it’s lovely! And the sillage is impressive, just a few sprays on my wrists and I can smell it so easily as I move I could swear I sprayed it on my neck. Also wonderful winter option. I will definitely get more of this in the future!
Love love love ! Definitely a cool weather scent . But I did bathe myself in it in a 70 degree weather and went to an old navy store ! When I came to the front to pay a young man said you smell so goooddd what is it? I said babycat ysl but it’s a dupe wink wink ! And he instantly went to the dua site . So yesss it leaves that impression on people ! If you love a spicy vanilla that one is for you.i am an over sprayer so i always choked myself but yes if you don’t like spice one or two spray in the middle of your chest should be enough.BUB worthy ❤️
One of the best vanilla I've ever smelt. It's warm, creamy, resinous which gives the vanilla a rich smell. It's not harsh, or too sweet like other vanillas. It's beautiful, sensual and addictive. I love it! And it smelled great when I got it. So I know the more it settles the better.
Great babycat dupe!
I actually have 3 bottles! Purchased a 4th one yesterday. Amazing, Addicting and Keep Backups! 🍦💣
I love the scent. I can't afford YSL baby cat. The scent smell so good. I would wear it this fall and winter
This is an absolute love for me… when I wear this fragrance I can’t stop smelling myself. It’s warm and inviting and mix well with some of my other date night fragrances. As a man this is an easy grab for a vanilla scent that is classes and captivating… this will always be in my collection. 10/10 scent, 10/10 date night, 10/10 special occasions can be worn spring, fall, winter and summer nights.
Did a video on it on YouTube. I’m Rose Ayala Perfume Addict on YouTube. Hope you enjoy my video ;)
Always a great experience with Dua!! Quality / Shipping always on point- which is major . As for Vanilla Baby , it is awesome. Very subtle differences between the OG (babycat) and this interpretation . Nailed it! It’s just a beautiful fragrance overall, I will be getting a back up bottle of this one. ~The Fragtastic Mr. Fox
A little too strong for me so I gave to my son. This is a deceptive fragrance. It goes on smelling very leathery/smokey then dries down to a perfect vanilla fragrance for anyone that appreciates sweet & masculine. The scent last 10+ hours on him, as do most of the fragrances from DUA that I've purchased.
I get camphor oil, spicy pepper, then dries down smelling like Bianco Latte
I love this vanilla but I wish that it projected and lasted longer
Love the scent. Perfect for daily wear or casual outting. Long lasting 7 hours minimum.
Not even close to the original only smells like patchouli… delivery was quick
Has to rest a while after shipping. I sprayed it as soon as i got my box and wiped it away because I knew it needed to rest. My hand smelled like a rich vanilla ice cream for hours after. I’m looking forward to what this will smell like for a fall gala or mid winter scent!
Beautiful....
Its alright im tninking has to sit for a month
So good!! Just like the OG! One of those that smells amazing on men and just as amazing on women!
This is an excellent vanilla. I havent had a chance to sample the OG, but I just bought three more bottles of this during the Memorial Day sale because I’ve only had it a few weeks and I already have a huge dent in it. Since I have 100+ Duas and 100+ name-brands, it usually takes me a while to dent a bottle like this!
Top tier scent!
One of my favorites leather smoky and resin
Amazing scent I highly recommend
The smoke note isnt as off putting as By the Fireplace but it overpowers the vanilla. I think i have to layer this with more vanilla to balance it out. Im going to see if my son likes it.
Smells absolutely amazing! Truly intoxicating! DUA hits another home run!!
Vanilla Baby. Wow....what a beautiful fragrance this is.And the sent trail that it leaves is unbelievable. I received three compliments the first time I worn it and one person asked me what I was wearing. Of course I told him about DUA Fragrances. I love this fragrance so much I order another one. In fact I should be getting it real soon. I never smelled Babycat,but I will one day. I'm so happy with my purchase from DUA and yes this was a blind buy a great one at that. Another out of the park for DUA.
This stuff is STELLAR!, and it has just become my signature fragrance. I’ve smelled the OG and Vanilla Baby comes awfully close! It’s a warm, very sophisticated scent that starts off with a richly spiced vanilla with a deep suede note as well as resins and woods intermingled. The sillage and projection of this fragrance is extraordinary! Every time I wear it someone asks me what scent I’m wearing. It seems the word is out now that it’s out of stock—again! I’m so happy I bought 2 BUBs plus a 10 ml for travel. In my humble opinion it’s that THAT good! Sorry Mr. Ford your “Vanilla Sex” smells wonderful but has nothing on Dua’s Vanilla Baby!!
Same like the babycat YSL I don’t know about the longevity but smell 90% like YSL I LIKE IT
This is one of the closest clones DUA has done. The other is Champs-Élysées ( Midnight in Paris clone). If you like YSL Babycat but is too expensive then this is a good alternative to that.
I am NOT a vanilla fan! Yup there it is, but when I read the notes included in Baby Cat I HAD to test it. When I tested it I HAD to have it, but not at $350 a bottle! So looked online and in perfume forums and ended up here. Took a chance and just opened up Vanilla Baby and hesitantly sprayed…People! This Stuff WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD! A small spritz on my wrist and WOW a beautiful, deep, lucious, spicy vanilla scent filled my brain—not a sweet vanilla nor a marshmallow. The notes claim to have suede leather however I smell aged bourbon instead and it’s heavenly! The resinous tones of the fragrance just make it that much more luxurious and deep while you can also smell some of the fruitiness that olibanum can offer. Then the dry down is nothing but vanilla and the earthy, floral of saffron If you ADORE vanilla and are looking for a vanilla fragrance that’s “different” oh my try Vanilla Baby!!! Go lightly with it as (in my opinion) a full spray would be total overkill! If it smells this good now I wonder what it will smell like after it macerated for a month!
Great must have vanilla that’s spot on for its clone. Def add if you’re a vanilla collector like myself.
