Banana Pudding

Does this smell like bananas or banana pudding? Nope. However, I still find this to be a beautiful scent. It’s FAR from a skin scent. This smells more like walking into a bakery that’s just started cooking sweet breads and has incense burning in a different room that wafts into the kitchen. It’s a sweet Smokey scent rather than a gourmand fruity scent that the name may imply. If you’re a fan of Smoke smells, you’ll enjoy this.

This actually does remind me of banana pudding, with no ylang involved, thank God!!! It's creamy, woody, and sweet, everything one can hope for or even expect from an earlier Boy Smells blend. Can be found for reasonable price on the secondhand market if you're lucky. Bon appetit!

Boy Smells are masters of unisex fragrances. Don’t go into this expecting a true edible gourmand. It’s so much more special than that. It’s complex and wearable. I certainly get banana, but it’s not too sweet.

A fun novelty for sure. As others have said, I don't get banana from this at all. That said, I do get a light pudding that turns almost into a burnt sugary/woodsy at the dry down. By The Fireplace comparisons are not out of place, though I do feel like this is more on the gourmand side and less on the woody side than the Replica original. In full honesty, I don't wear it much at all - but that doesn't mean it's bad by any stretch of the imagination. I keep it in my nightstand if I feel like having a generic, comforting scent at night.

Okay, the opening for this is heavy patchouli and sandalwood, emphasis on the heavy. It is an earthy pachouli so if you're not a fan of that keep moving. The bergamot, cardamon and cacao combination does not help with the damp earth allegations either. I could see this scent coming from a Zoologist perfume. It gives a story. The banana creeps in about five minutes later and it's light. The jungle fruit is ripening and flowers are blooming. Whipping cream is giving it a more creamy ambiance and while it is welcome it's giving a more "warm skin" effect than a scent bubble. It's so light I don't know what to do. I think I might try it for a couple more days before determining if I will get rid of it or not. I actually like that the banana is so light that it can't be headache inducing but I want it be strong enough to smell it on me. I need to put my wrist in my face to smell any of it and I don't know if I can justify keeping it if I have be constantly "face-first" in it. :/
