Vanille Banane

Another review I had to edit after spraying again. Playful, light, and delectable with 100% Wonka banana taffy and fresh cream in the opening. As it fades, the banana leaf note really starts to come out on my skin and mingles softly with the vanilla. I do get an extremely faint marshmallow puff towards the end as a user below described. I don't detect any orange or rum. Projection is nonexistent and it disappears within less than 30 minutes over a base of unscented lotion. However, I did just receive this bottle. I've had perfumes where I've noticed the projection/sillage and longevity have improved after sitting in my drawer for a few months. Really wish it lasted longer because it's practically useless BUT we'll see down the line. Would like to compare it to the Donna Sentenza Hilde Soliani perfume but I'll have to sample. I saw reviews saying it's not as good as it used to be. Hopefully they just got a fluke because I'd really love to layer the two and amp up the smell. Overall, fun scent for a beach day and safe blind buy if you love the scent of banana candy. Price is good, all things considered but opt for the bigger bottle. You will be needing to re-spray a lot. 3.5/5 Just for the weak sillage and longevity Edit: Donna Sentenza Hilde Soliani is creamier and on the bubblegum side.

Another novelty, another hit for me from CSP. Despite the oft women’s classification on Stores Web site I blind bought this as I found a small 30ml bottle. Gorgeous! Reminds me of a popular Aussie candy - Allen’s Bananas with a touch of cream. Miracleborgtechs reviews are often great but I disagree in that whilst it’s amazing, to me it is a synthetic construct however I then agree it doesn’t come across as a cheap candy perfume. I am 100% confident it is because there is a tiny wood base on the dry down appearing after 5 minutes maybe of cedar or sandalwood and it is not listed in notes that gives it some natural depth. Happy if someone can confirm this. I also suspect the vanilla is more Tonka bean - or at least in the first five minutes something is playing tricks on me as the vanilla is given a milky base. In all an awesome scent and again taking it to work I was surprised how many male staff embraced the perfume, so yeah not for professional use but an entertaining distraction like CSPs Soufle des Indes. I have a perfume for every note I fancy.... I guess this is the one for Banana

I had gotten a sample a while back from a friend of what I thought was this and I loved it so much that when I found one on Amazon that was an alright price (it was still over $100CAD for 100mls) but than I found the sample after it was en route to me and the sample was for Vanille Coco, but I decided I would keep this when it got here anyways and I got it today. It’s definitely not something I’ve ever smelled before and normally anything vanilla I wouldn’t typically be drawn to but I really like this. It’s mid October and the perfect weather for this I think, I mean it could be worn year round but on these slightly chilly fall days the vanilla is yummy and the whip cream banana notes make it even more yummy. This would be something I think layered with a chocolatey fragrance would be beautiful! It’s not my dream fragrance but it’s got a really nice scent to it!

While it's true that the Comptoir Sud Pacifique perfumes aren't stellar performers, this one does pretty well. If you spray this on clothes, the banana does last longer. I woke up this morning with warm tendrils of banana vanilla sneaking out from a under my blankets. Tropical yumminess....mmm.. yesterday I was complimented and asked what I was wearing. So it does actually have a scent trail. The key is to spray it on your clothes, not just skin, where it dries down. The banana stays put on fabrics for quite a while! Of course, you can't do this with fine or delicate fabrics, but cotton poly does nicely. I tend to live in leisurewear these days, sturdy warmer fabrics because it's VERY cold out. Thermal pj's etc. they can tolerate perfume application. This is one of a few favorites from this brand. I will never be without it.

First blast: banana flavour medicine. Or those small banana candies. But wait! It'll pass in a few seconds. Then it's like....banana flower. It's insanely beautiful. Green notes even. Flowery, lactonic, mmmm....one of their best fragrances! Oh my god does it turn into something special. It makes me want to keep spraying to smell that intensely vanilla tropical blossom scent....like nectar aaaah. So sweet, milky and slightly floral. Drydown: On me the rum note really blooms. It goes very sweet on me, and turns into a slightly powdery vanilla rum custard. The banana note might be stronger on others, but for me the dry down smells like rum flavoured cozy shack vanilla pudding and I'm not upset. I layered it with Lush V and got this gothic purple banana space pudding smell. Amazing.
