Citrus Batikanga joined the Maison Crivelli portfolio in 2019. A unisex fragrance rooted in the spicy, wood, and citrus families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. Available as eau de parfum.
Produced in France, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Citrus Batikanga Maison Crivelli unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Citrus Batikanga is built as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Maison Crivelli comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.
At the opening of the pyramid you sense spicy sparkling opening notes: Bergamot, Cardamom and Hot pepper. Exactly these 3 notes set voluminous spicy depth that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the middle phase you notice Pomelo and Rhubarb keeping a refreshing green direction. In the base the composition is fixed through Fenugreek, Myrrh and Vetiver, extending a deep spicy trail.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Wood and Spicy without random overlap.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy, Green and Balsamic. The framework further includes Wood.
Taken together Citrus Batikanga sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
