Rifaaqat by Paris Corner is a sharp, sophisticated spicy-suede fragrance with a deep vanilla foundation.

An Inspired Fragrance

This fragrance is inspired by Babycat by Yves Saint Laurent. Reviewers generally consider Rifaaqat a great dupe of Babycat.

The initial spritz is a sharp crackle, like dry heat meeting cool air, delivered by the vibrant sting of black and pink peppercorns, brightened by the lemony, resinous lift of elemi. This fiery opening settles into a silken, ancient heart where smoky olibanum swirls with the luxurious, leathery aroma of saffron, painting a rich tapestry of spice and smoke across the skin. The final act is a deep, comforting descent into a velvet cloak of bourbon vanilla, its sweetness tempered by the rugged, sophisticated texture of suede and the grounding stability of cedarwood. Wearing this fragrance is like navigating a dimly lit bazaar at dusk, surrounded by the warmth of polished wood and rare spices, a scent that speaks of quiet confidence and effortless depth.
