Citrus Batikanga

Citrus Batikanga from Maison Crivelli, created by Bertrand Duchaufour in 2019, is a spicy, unconventional citrus scent. Spice leads, with sweet, woody, resinous and citrus facets in equal support.

It opens with cardamom for a cool, aromatic spice and bergamot for a fresh citrus brightness. The heart is lively and unusual: rhubarb gives a tart, green sourness, chili pepper a hot, prickling spice and pomelo a juicy, slightly bitter grapefruit-like note. The base is warm and resinous, with myrrh bringing a balsamic, slightly bitter depth, fenugreek a savoury, maple-like sweetness and vetiver an earthy, smoky dryness.

Worn by anyone, its spicy citrus character makes it versatile, suited to warm days and cooler evenings alike. It will appeal to someone who wants a citrus scent with heat, texture and a resinous base, rather than a simple fresh cologne, and who enjoys a touch of the unexpected.
