Banana Crêpe

I did not expect to fall in love with this scent the way that I did, I guess I never expected banana to smell right with my skin chemistry but this is DELICIOUS. The banana notes are actually pretty mild and are balanced by pina colada overtones. There's some smokey vanilla in there at the base that lingers politely and entices seductively. Also, I think some of you will know what I mean by this: it's Bath and Body Works coded, but she is refined and confident and playful. Love, love, love.

I tried Oakchas gourmand discovery set and was pleasantly surprised my favorite was the Banana crêpe. I never favored a banana scent until now. It’s very candy like at first, think banana runts. Immediately follows up with caramel and musk. The dry down is a beautiful musky ripe banana smell. It’s sweet, it’s nostalgic, and it’s mature with a very sophisticated musk. I will continue to purchase the full sized bottles of this year round!

Addicted. Obsessed. Cannot get enough! 😍 The Banana candy perfume you’ve been looking for. Anyone who missed out on Skylars very limited ‘Banana Candy’ release, here is your chance to get in on the fun! Completely and absolutely ZERO resemblance to that stink bomb ‘Banana Bliss.’ I feel ‘Eclaire Banoffi’ is Banana cream where ‘Banana Crepe’ is fully just pure Banana candy. Already had to secure backups! 💜

I made the recent discovery that the Moroccanoil fragrance pairs insanely well with a sweet banana note. Banana’s underrepresented in fragrance and while I wanted the Marc Jacob’s Murakami Green, it seemed silly to get attached to something limited edition and pricey. Enter Oakcha. I’m getting no crepe, no caramel, no warmth from this, just powdery sweet banana runtz with a little coconut and vanilla. It almost smells like those sweet-smelling plastic dolls from the 90s/00s. It performs well and smells nice for what it is but I wouldn’t necessarily want to stand next to someone wearing it as a standalone perfume. It’s magical if you find the right combo to add complexity and warmth and cut through the powder.

This one had to sit for a bit after opening for me to like it. It opens with a very sharp alcohol/gas smell that I get with a lot of dupes that try to mimic BR540. I don’t smell the milky banana latte that the influencers are saying this smells like. It definitely is a green, underripe banana in the opening. On the dry down it’s a very sugary sweet vanillic scent. It has that airy spun sugar in the base as well. I like it a lot now but it took a while to get here. It’s definitely the most green banana perfume in my collection and I think that balances out the sickly sweet base, but it does also lend an almost tart quality to it.
