L'Artisan Parfumeur Batucada is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner and Elisabeth Maier. Batucada opens with Lime, Mint, and Rum, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Salt, Sea Water, and Coconut. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Batucada carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Batucada is a divisive, quirky summer scent. Some adore its cocktail-like vivacity while others are put off by a 'sweaty' or 'fishy' note. Truly a love-it-or-hate-it tropical escape that sparks strong opinions.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

This is a quintessential summer holiday scent. Its boozy, salty, and tropical character is too relaxed for formal or office settings, but it excels in casual, warm weather situations and even sport due to its refreshing nature. Many reviews highlight its 'vacation in a bottle' vibe.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a vibrant, salty mojito enjoyed by the sea. This opens with a zesty, almost boozy hit of lime and fresh mint, quickly followed by the creamy, exotic sweetness of tiare flower and ylang-ylang. The base anchors this tropical journey with a distinctive marine and salty accord, drying down to a delicate, subtly sweet coconut skin scent.
