Citrus Batikanga, launched by Maison Crivelli in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, is a composition built on the tension between brightness and warmth. The fragrance opens with bergamot and pomelo, their freshness punctuated by cardamom and chili pepper, adding an unexpected spiciness that keeps things intriguing. As it evolves, rhubarb and myrrh introduce earthy sweetness, while vetiver and fenugreek anchor the scent in a woody, grounded base.

Application Tips
Citrus Batikanga projects well due to its spiciness but blooms gradually. Apply one or two sprays to allow the scent to build on skin over time rather than overwhelming it initially. It reads best close to skin, making it ideal for daytime wear.
