What does Bachanal smell like?
It opens with bitter almond, bergamot and pistachio: the almond and pistachio give a nutty sweetness, which the bergamot lightens. In the heart, coconut, patchouli and geranium take over. Coconut adds creaminess, while patchouli and geranium bring a green, faintly earthy edge. It dries down to cocoa resinoid, vanilla absolute and woods, which settle the sweetness onto a woody base.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring following behind. Evening, leisure and nights out come up most often. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it reads comfortably either way. Jardins d'Écrivains Howl and Zoologist Rabbit have a close profile.
