Has this fragrance been reformulated or changed since its release?+−
Yes. The original 2015 version of Bat was discontinued and later replaced with a 2020 edition under the same name but with a different formula. Owners of the original 2015 version prize it for its specific "overripe fruit and damp cave" balance.
Is this scent more masculine or feminine?+−
Bat is classified as a unisex fragrance. While the earthy soil and leather notes lean traditionally masculine and the banana and fig lean feminine, the overall composition is so naturalistic that it transcends gender tropes.
How does the "soil" note actually come across?+−
The soil note is very prominent and smells like fresh, damp earth or a cellar. It provides a mineral-rich, cool sensation that prevents the fruit notes from becoming too sweet or cloying.
Is this a safe choice for the office or professional environments?+−
Generally, no. Most users suggest Bat for leisure, evening, or personal enjoyment. Because the earthy and animalic musk notes are quite literal, it may be too unconventional for a conservative business setting.
