What MYSLF smells like

Opens with a bright citrus burst of bergamot and mandarin that feels clean and slightly fizzy, softened almost immediately by a creamy orange blossom heart that keeps things from going too sharp. As it settles, cedar adds quiet structure while vetiver grounds it with a subtle earthiness that stops the florals from going feminine. The dry-down is smooth musk — skin-close, warm, and easy. Projection is moderate; sillage is polite rather than demanding, making it genuinely wearable without effort — a versatile warm-weather daily wear for men who want something presentable but not boring.

What Babycat smells like

Opens with a bright snap of pink pepper cutting through ripe peach — fruity but not candy-sweet. The heart softens quickly into warm vanilla and musk, pulling everything into a cozy, skin-close blur. Sandalwood and amber anchor the dry-down, adding just enough woody depth to keep it from reading purely gourmand. Projection stays intimate throughout; this wears close to the skin with soft, lingering sillage rather than announcing itself across a room — Fall and winter evenings, best on someone who prefers warmth over statement.

How they overlap

MYSLF and Babycat share exactly one note (musk). The overlap is real but narrow — most of the wear experience will diverge.

The buying decision

Babycat is the cheaper original at $95 compared to $130 for MYSLF — about 27% less. MYSLF is built for spring/summer/fall; Babycat for fall/winter. Pick by when you'd actually wear it. Heads up: MYSLF is marketed masculine, Babycat is marketed feminine — they target different wearers, though plenty of buyers cross those lines.
