What does Bataille smell like?

The top pairs saffron and magnolia with pink pepper and ginger, giving a fresh, citrusy and spicy start. In the heart, sage and Virginia cedar set a green, woody ground. The base of tonka bean, Amber Xtreme™ and patchouli sweetens it and leads into a resinous warmth. The overall feel is fresh and green, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so this is only a rough guide. Being unisex, it can read as either masculine or feminine depending on the wearer. David Beckham Botanical Resin and Lacoste Lacoste Original Parfum have a close profile.
