This fragrance is a reissue of a 2015 iteration by Ellen Covey, famed research professor at the University of Washington. Prin Lomros is the nose for the 2020 version, and I find it to be a pleasant variation on the oft-explored petrichor idea in perfumery.
Bat opens with a soil tincture accord that smells wet and mushroomy, like a shovelful of earth after a rainstorm. That first minute is both beautiful and a little off-putting, and reminds me of Pineward's Funerie, but it doesn't last; a banana-like sweetness emerges, reminiscent of jasmine and ylang, but mated to an indistinct greenness that seems to weld the fragrance's various stages. By lunchtime these green notes get woodier with brushings of cedar and vetiver, and my association switches to Havana by Aramis, if you removed the tobacco. It stays surprisingly dank and woody for almost the entire drydown. Almost.
The final act (ten hours in) is a soapy floral freshness. I was standing in a grocery store line, wondering who was wearing the attractive, modern-smelling fragrance, and realized it was me. I don't have much else to say about Bat 2020 because it's a fairly standard green-woody floral, but if you're interested in another twist on that theme and want an offbeat but surprisingly successful drydown, this is something to check out.
