Fresh Pear & Coconut

Man I gotta say, Banana Republic missed the mark on this one. I mean it's literally a fresh floral scent kind of like a bar of soap with a tiny hint of baby powder hitting my nose every once in a while, zero pear, zero coconut. Banana Republic is literally one of my favorite fragrance houses in the US and every one I own, which is quite a few, all hit pretty close to what I think they were going for. This is definitely a miss for them, not a bad scent, but not even remotely close to the name or even notes described. Glad I bought the small bottle though I may closet this and see if it just needs to macerate as these are pretty new scent profiles.

Blind buy.....and it's "ok". It doesn't have that WOW factor that some of the older banana Republic has (Gardenia & Cardamom, Tuberose Overdose). It honestly doesn't even smell much like coconut or pear. You do get a quick flash of pear for the first 15-20minutes, but then it turns into the overly white contrast of Lily of the valley and Jasmine, white laundry musk's and a slight plasticy smell. This scent is just ok....I wouldn't wear this honestly, but I would use this as a room spray or bathroom spray if anything. Sad times for the new 2025 banana Republic releases. They lost their mojo.....

It’s a fresh pear dowsed in a baby powder-like musk similar to Sandalwood and Musk from the same line, but not as overwhelming. There is no musk note listed, maybe it’s the jasmine and amber? As all others from this line, incredible potential, but disappointing. A hefty dose of coconut would elevate this fragrance to one of my favorites, now it’s in the swap bin. Yet another BR fragrance with a misleading name where its main selling point isn’t even present.

I have to agree with this smelling like expensive perfumed baby wipes. For some that’s not a bad thing but based of the note structure I’m sure that wasn’t the goal. A hard no! The pear, vanilla and sandalwood are my top favorite notes in a fragrance and sadly they are missing in this one.. even after the day down.. nothing.. so sad because I have few bangers from BR. Let’s step up the game fragrance fam!

Very beachy, I get more pear, sandalwood, and the citrus out of anything. It kinda smells like baby wipes in the dry down and or an Italian lemon drink, but it's okay in my opinion. Definitely a summer-only perfume.
