Fruit Bats- the exotic bat

I did not want to try the actually, but if then the new reformulation. I know it would frustrate me if I like it with the knowledge, but there is not! Have me but quickly convinced because the fragrance is simply now under a different name and label continues.

The fragrance was implemented with the task of interpreting the bat so great, creative and unexpected. When I think of bats I have many associations, but never that of an exotic jungle bat. Now I have one more association. Bat makes me think of wildly flying bats that gleefully sink their teeth into overripe exotic fruits. The juice flies around and sticks to their fur. And all this in a pristine, dense, overgrown green jungle environment, where even wood and leaves smell animalistic and wild roots reach up into the air.

On the opening, you can smell the bananas very strongly. At first I thought, uh a slight alcohol note, I do not like at all. But then I realized it's just an overripe sweet banana close to being gourmand. Close to the edge of tipping. Wasn't sure I liked it at first, but then thought it was brilliant. After that I smell all the exotic fruits you can imagine, figs, starfruit and co. Paired with vibrant earth / jungle smell.
To me, it doesn't smell like a cave at all, it smells like a dense, wild, animalistic jungle.

This vibrant earth/root/jungle note gets stronger in the base and stays. Interestingly, this note reminded me of something I knew. Then it came to me. An ex-work colleague of mine often wore DoTerra's pure oregano essential oil. It smelled strong and chased everyone away. I loved it though. It smelled great, not like regular oregano, but it also had this extremely vibrant spicy earthy note.

I'm not really a fruit fan, and to me these are by no means rotten fruit. The dream jungle has just too many of them and the animals do not get behind with the food. The scent is so great interpreted and evokes a great exotic image in me, so I am very comfortable with the fruits. They simply belong to the image and habitat of the Fruit Bat.
