Nayel Queen

I've tested Nayel queen on my skin and have compared it simultaneously to the original Babycat, to Fierte by french avenue and to Ebene by Maison Alhambra. Nayel Queen has the most sillage and longevity, followed by Babycat, Fierte and Ebene. It's unbelievable. Over 3 hours of good projection and over 12 hours of longevity. I was surprised when there was no Babycat left on my skin but Nayel Queen was still going! In terms of the smell, Nayel queen is a little bit more fresh and light in comparison to the original. It also comes across a little more smoky. In the air, I'm pretty sure they are not distinguishable. When you smell them side by side, Babycat is more complex, more blended and deeper and of course higher quality. It's like while Babycat is just sitting on the throne effortlessly, doing nothing, Nayel queen is dancing and working and trying very hard to justify it's roll. It's very good, it's just pulling a lot of tricks and trying to hard to smell fantastic. Fierte in comparison is very good at mimicking the deep balanced suede vanilla of Babycat which I love. And it stays for 6 hours with 1 hour of good projection. And Ebene is trying to smell as spicy as babycat, but ends up smelling like the more spicy version of the opening of Babycat for about 2 hours, without much of the vanilla and other nuances, before it changes into a skin scent that smells like cigarette smoke. Therefore Nayel Queen is the best dupe of Babycat that I have tried and I would highly recommend it.

Nayel Queen is easily the best Babycat clone I’ve come across so far. From the very first spray it gives off that same beautiful balance of sweet and spicy — a smooth vanilla wrapped in warm spices that feels rich yet inviting. Sitting just behind it all is a suede-like leather accord that adds depth without overwhelming the fragrance. It’s there in the background, giving it texture and elegance, but the vanilla and spice are always the stars. The blend is incredibly well done. The vanilla feels creamy and addictive while the spice adds just enough bite to keep things interesting. That soft leather nuance keeps it from ever becoming too sweet, which is where a lot of vanilla-heavy scents can stumble. Instead, Nayel Queen walks the line perfectly, staying warm, smooth, and classy. Performance is very good. I consistently get around nine hours of wear on my skin, with a nice balance of projection that announces itself early on and then lingers at a comfortable level as it dries down. Overall, Nayel Queen captures the spirit of Babycat in a way that feels both faithful and wearable. If you’re looking for that spicy vanilla suede vibe without hunting down the original, this one is absolutely worth it.

Scent: Great fragrance and great scent. Very high quality for the $40 I paid. I personally haven't smelled Babycat, but I know it's supposed to be duping it. This is a very heavy vanilla-centric Scent. So if you don't like vanilla forward Scents, then don't get this. It definitely smells like vanilla extract. This is not cake frosting vanilla or scented candle vanilla, but a realistic vanilla. I also get a hint of freshness to it. I personally don't know where that might be coming from, but it's there. I don't get the tobacco, which is unfortunate, but I do get mild spices that are probably coming from the pepper. Leans Unisex in my opinion. Great Scent and great quality for the money you pay. Great job, Arabiyat👍 Performance: This thing has great performance! The projection is going to fill the room at least for the first 30mins. After that you will still have noticeable projection for a couple more hours. The sillage is also strong and leaves a pretty dense Scent trail for the first hour. The Longevity is also insane on me. I was still able to smell it on my wrists the next day. So pretty good Longevity! Seasons: Definitely cold weather fragrance. Late Fall, Winter, and cool nights of Spring.

I just received this fragrance a week ago and I wore it twice. It needs some settling in the closet but the performance right out of the box is acceptable. To me, it smells like gasoline/motor oil (not overly strong) mixed with a dense and sweet vanilla for the first 30 minutes, then it evolves to a beautiful intimate sticky, woody, sueded, creamy vanilla that is so comforting.... It stands for 3 to 4 hours on me. On clothes a little longer. It's well blended, not offensive but very intimate and sexy unisex fragance. It's a big no for summertime, too syrupy to my taste for hot weather. I'll update in a few months when the gasoline note has calmed down a bit. Anyways ai consider Nayel big value for money. I really liked it. It's a jewel for vanilla lovers!

Smelt babycat raw bourbon at an airport and loved it. Its a smoky warm creamy vanilla. As far as I remember this smells exactly like it. Less peppery in the opening on my skin which is good tbh. Dont know abt performance but sillage and longevity im guessing is good but quality in terms of blend and smell is amazing. Edit: 7-8 hours until u can hardly smell it and good sillage/projection. Only thing is that the suede note isnt as prominent as in babycat and this dupe is slightly earthy due to the benzoin and tonka bean which isnt a big issue but lets the drydown slightly. Still reccomend
