What does Batucada smell like?

Batucada has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most named occasions. It is unisex, with votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

It opens with lime, cachaça and mint, then moves into a floral heart of tiaré and ylang-ylang. The base holds sea salt and a sensual skin accord. The overall impression is green-tinged, lightly fruity and sweet, with a spicy undertone. Carthusia Capri Forget Me Not (Eau de Parfum) and Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
