Bruno Banani Man

Let's roll with the negatives first. It doesn't smell expensive. You can get pricey fragrances that smell cheap, but it's rare to get a cheap fragrance that smells expensive. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just that all the ingredients in this seem muted. Second, it doesn't smell modern. OK it's from 2000 so it's already over 20 years old, but it smells more like it's from the 80's. That being said, both negatives out of the way, it's a cracking little cheapy. It's a very warm scent, amberish. You get a little bit of the coffee, lavender, tonka beans, vanilla, and a whole heap of warm spices. There's a lot of ingredients with an aniseed liquorice vibe but this isn't heavy. In fact I only really noticed it with deep sniffs on the drydown. It's quite a linear scent, so what you get after 5 minutes is what you'll have 8 hours later. This brings me to its main plus point, longevity. Noticeable up to 10 hours and only fades after 12. Sillage is slightly better than moderate with 4 sprays to the neck. I've found the best place to wear this is on the chest where your body heat can keep throwing out the scent. For it's price I'm very impressed with Bruno Banani Man.

A little pricey for what it is, but it's a goodie. It even got me a compliment at work (I work in an industrial environment, it definitely will stink up the office if you're atomizer-happy as it is a bit thick)! Would also do well on a date. Definitely something to wear during the day, won't have the same effect in the evening. As Mr. Banani said, "Not for everybody". Some will hate you for wearing this, not me tho - I'd love to see someone else wear it. Edit: THIS KEEPS GETTING ME COMPLIMENTS AT WORK. WHY?? Sure, I love this, and I love getting compliments, but this isn't that amazing on paper, or scent-wise. Maybe Man just fits me very well and people recognize that? I don't know if that's the case, but people at work really like when I do have it on.

Ok guys lets take a sun-cream (but in a german way) and mix with Tonka beans, star anise, basil and vanilla-coffee.. -Tadaaa we made it Bruno Banani for men :) It's warm, spicey,luxury and seductive scent. Smells like Tourists in the spice market imho timeless just you have to spray a little less at hot summer days Longevity 8/10 Silalge 7/10 Scent 7/10

Sadly REFORMULATED! It was way more powerful and complex in the 2000's. Nowadays it has only moderate sillage and longevity and less sweet than the old version.

A very sexy & attractive sweet perfume for men. Love it. Yum!
