Banana Bliss

This is my most complimented perfume by men suprisingly, any time i wear this a man will go out of his way to tell me i smell nice. Its funny because each time they can identify a different note. Usually i get them guesing its vanilla or coconut. I absolutely love this perfume, every day I feel like I smell another note from it more prominently depending on the temperature outside, but fir the most part it smells exactly like whats shown. I feel the tonka bean is really soft but grounds the scent so its not as childlike as it may come across note wise. I accidentally bought this thinking it was the tiramisu one and was like wow this smells so banana-y then looked at the bottle and was like whoops. They are like identical bottles and boxes. Anyway, every time I go to stray from this scent due to its really really poor longevity, ill spray some on me before leaving and without fail ill get complimented on it. Thennnnn in the next couple mins, its gone like a beautiful ghost. Lmao this perfume is here for a good time not a long one. Which is so shocking for arabic perfumes because they are usually crazy beast mode to where the smell will be stuck in my nose for hours. Sadly not this one. Which is the thing that makes me loose interest in it for a week or two, then ill go back to it and will love the compliments. At this point I just bought a decanting kit and I just take a vile with me all the time as my compromise and spritz a little on me every couple hours. On skin the longevity is almost nothing but on clothes youll smell it for days. Just the silage on the clothes is very weak.

Love this Out of box brandnew it’s giving banana fosters / banoffee pie or Banana custard brûlée It’s gorgeous. Will also see how develops for longevity and maturation but love it now straight way, so glad I risked it as reviews so mixed. Personally I find it Comforting and would help me sleep. Feel it is quite a ‘niche like’ tho not niche fragrance as such, just alot of people don’t like banana. Yet banana garnier hair products are the most popular so maybe more people would like it ? It smells a bit like the garnier banana conditioner actually less fresh more brûlée/ sugared Love Layers amazing with Noor riiffs ans cream of clouds probably eclair too l. Also amazing with its counterpart tiramisu speculooss. As this add a charming spun sugar cream base. Excited to See what else happens with it as it wearable straight from first spray IMO. Update the banana note lasts longest on fabric 6hrs the dry down of brûlée lasts longer on fabric 10-12hrs and on skin brûlée layer lasts 8 hrs I wish the banana lasted longer but tbh I’ve tested a lot of banana fragrance and none last long. This has lasted longer than any others I’ve tried

I think all of the negative reviews are coming from those that don’t like banana and coconut. 2 notes in which you have to love TOGETHER to enjoy Banana Bliss. These notes together can come off buttery, and that’s probably what throws people off. I know we can all get caught in the hype of social media, but if you’re unsure if you really like banana and coconut, then this might be a let down for you (sample first.) This isn’t for everyone, but If you already know you’re a banana and coconut gourmand lover, then you’ll probably enjoy this. I’ve had issues with the plastic around the atomizer cracking/chipping by simply using it, but hopefully I just got a defective bottle and they aren’t all that fragile. Despite the bottle flaws, I still love the scent and I would repurchase! To me it smells like you combined fresh baked banana pudding and coconut crème pie 🍌 🥥 🥧

Of course I bought this when it first was released, being a fan of anything banana. Initially all it gave was movie theatre popcorn vibes, but after a few months it settled. Now it smells like Sun Bum sunscreen and hair products + butter. It's oddly good and comforting. Yes, I agree with the banana bread comments. It's similar to a banana bread mix made with loads of artificial banana flavoring, not actual bananas. I also see how you could compare this to banoffee pie. It might be interesting to layer this with coffee for more of that effect. If you're a fragrance snob, steer clear. Banana Bliss is cute, fun, and cheerful, not a niche type offering in the least. It's wonderful for those of us who love sweet tropical gourmands. The butter note competes with banana. Now that I think about it, the scent reminds me of banana pancakes more than anything else.

This is super cute. I kind of understand the mixed reviews, you either like what its going for or you dont, but I don't agree that it is of bad quality. It is pretty much on par with alot of other affordable Arabian gourmands in its blendedness, fairly well blended and well done but not exactly masterpiece level, and I actually get very good projection and longevity. It is a realistic gourmand, there is a little syntheticness in the banana but not in a completely disgusting way, just in a banana essence cutesy way. But not in a cloying way. Its actually really a nice banana pudding or banana ice cream and I am glad I didn't let the mixed reviews curb me from sampling it. I actually prefer it to its sister Tiramisu Speculoos, which is also good but not as interesting and vibrant to smell as this one is.

I'm a sucker for banana scents. This is a delicious, realistic banana bread scent to my nose. It's not overly complex, just straightforward banana bread. I really enjoy this, especially in cooler weather. If you're not into banana gourmand scents, then this will not be for you. The banana smells artificial but it works for me. Artificial isn't always bad imo. My main complaint is the banana notes fades almost entirely after an hour. I wish it stayed throughout the entire wear. Performance is moderate. I'm not a fan of the bottle. It's gaudy and not my vibe. I love the juice, though, so I deal with it. Projection: 5/10 Longevity: 6/10 Overall Experience: 8/10

This is that "the gourmand perfection" for me. For the first month I only got root beer, but now... People say they can't get a banana out of this. Well, real ones, I don't either. Maybe the reason I love this, even for the spare bottle, is because of what I don't smell? I love this syrupy, waxy, bready, butter texture with no coffee, no chocolate, no licorice or even no amaretto( okay, maybe I'll get a little amaretto, but I love it unconditionally).This has also been criticized for weakness, and I really can't understand why?! I layer this with Pippilotta, This is my only scent what can do it.

Habia leido criticas a este perfume y lo probe sin mayor expectiva. Cuando lo probe fue amor a primera olida!!! Es adictivo dulce gourmand banana y coco como un queque, con una duracion enorme en mi piel!!! No lo siento sintetico para nada, de hecho es exquisitoooo. Me devolvi a la tienda y lo compre por un excelente precio. Yo diria que huele a un perfume tipo nicho, cabritas, una banana dulce riquisimooo!!! Lo recomiendo si te gusta el coco y las notas dulces.

I agree with the Banana Bread comment. I Love it, but it's not real long lasting. I def get more Banana Bread, than popcorn. If you spray it on clothes, it will last longer for sure. Bought a backup bottle right away, in case it got reformulated or discontinued. I wish it was longer lasting, find a good price & spray away! I found better prices on Amazon than Ebay. Around $30 I think. NatalieN on Youtube.

One of the best gourmand for under $30. I’m convinced that this is trying to be similar to decembrie 89. They smell so similar it’s as if you took decembrie 89 and added a banana bread note. This smells so damn good. I don’t really care about performance but i think it’s definitely spot on for the price. If your looking for something really similar to Decembrie 89, then this might be the one guys 🥹

This smells JUST like a dessert! Lovely, sweet and edible on a lady. Got it for my wife and when she wears it, I can hardly keep my hands off of her. We stopped at an ice cream shop, a lady there complemented her within a few minutes. Smells better than anything in that ice cream shop. 😉🤗😊

Smells like a fried banana with caramel drizzle and a tiny hint of coconut. However on my skin , this smells like buttery popcorn which I don’t really like. Smells a lot nicer on my clothes and for the price its fun and not a serious perfume and delectable

I wore this to work, and every room I entered I left a trail of coconut cookies. The cookies is the biscoff that u smell, so it dries down to coconut and biscoff. Not to mention I added BBW warm vanilla lotion and mist with choco musk. I was delectable!

First sprays smell like coconut and synthetic banana flavouring. The longer it sits on my skin the more I get a sweet, rich, boozy, raisin banana cake. Love it.

The best banana frag out there! It’s so delicious! I smell the pie crust, the whipped cream and FRESH ripe bananas. Seriously considering a backup!

Surprisingly, I really like this scent. I was scared of it but it has grown on me. It really smells like a warm banana bread.

freshly baked banana bread, i love it. it vaguely reminds me of the cookie party by sorce, just less buttery. delicious 🍌🍪

This smells like what SNIF was TRYING to do with Crumb Couture & I sent that right on back! This is bangin'! I LOVE IT!

This smells like banoffee pie!

Stay with me on this one. To me, Paris Corner's Banana Bliss smells like this: Imagine buying a bunch of green-ish bananas that you purchased with the INTENT to let sit on the counter in a brown paper bag so they can ripen organically for the cake you need to bake in about 3 days. Imagine blending those ripened bananas, you know ripened bananas are very sweet, in a glass bowl with confectioner's and turbinado sugars with a drizzle of store brand vanilla extract. This is Banana Bliss Paris Corner. Banana Bliss lacks depth so the price is a little bit more than I expected but again, I wanted a budget friendly banana fragrance in my collection and now I have it. I will probably layer it with something else to give it just a little more depth but that's the beauty of fragrances right? We can layer them to our heart’s desire. With all of that being said: I like it. It's not Laffy Taffy banana candy but an introductory banana based, gourmand scent for adults. It lasts all day and I can still smell it on my clothes days later. I was in line at a crowded mailing center and a lady behind me said I smelled nice.

banana bliss could've gone pretty far left for me as i absolutely hate the smell (and taste, but i'm not drinking my perfumes) of artificial banana. i initially got banana runts vs banana laffy taffy, which wasn't horrible, but it's disappeared since i bought it. the initial scent is like banana cream pie, i pick up on the whipped cream but not any of the coconut. as it dries down a bit, it starts to smell a bit boozy, like bananas foster, before it settles into its final dry down where it resembles banana bread on my skin. so for me, it's not quite a linear fragrance, but transforms into different banana-based desserts. which is fun! but still, a photorealistic gourmand i have to be in the mood for. as with tiramisu speculoos, the bottle design is stupid and product gets all over the inside of the lid when you spray it.

Opening smells like banana pudding! I get the fake banana scent with the vanilla wafer cookie and it’s absolutely mouthwatering! Upon drydown it gets a little too synthetic like banana pudding mix that’s still in powder form and not even a hint of real banana or cookies. It’s fun to layer with more complex vanillas to make them a bit more playful and gourmand but on its own it’s not the best. Maybe just needs to sit and mature a bit. Longevity is about 4-5 hours on me, which is not bad for the price. I have a 10ml decant and will enjoy it for as long as I have it but won’t be buying the full size. I much prefer the tiramisu speculoos perfume from the same line!

Ive had this since release. Explosive synthetic butter cookie, almost no banana present after initial spray. I recently tried it for the first time since purchasing and it seems the banana is gaining momentum, but not nearly enough to make wearing this a remote possibility. This release has caused quite a bit of grief for Paris Corner and Aroma Concepts, they would have been better off skipping out on the whole “Ministry of Gourmand” thing. Only people I’ve seen talk positively about the line are getting influencer scripts fed to them from the manufacturer. 🤥

this is 100% a banana pudding w Nilla cookies... for 5-10minutes.. it dries down to a vanilla Grahm cracker on dry down. The longer it develops, the more it smells like Nilla and grahm crackers. Not what I expected but I do enjoy the top banana notes , really wished the banana was more prominent. I think its a good everyday scent. Safe for work and school.. I do wish it projected better. I get a good 2-4hrs (skin scent/wear). I use for layering.. I wouldn't purchase again only bc of performance.. its definitely a skin scent at most.

I totally agree with the previous comment comparing this to banoffee and also do get lowkey banana bread vibes. I also got a bit of an oatmeal vibe, especially when I first opened. If you're into that concept than go for it. Like most Paris Corners, this needs to sit for a sec (mine has improved so much in 3 weeks) but if you're hoping for a creamy coconuty photorealistic banana scent that's not super dense, it's not giving that

I dont get any banana bread smell. I can barely smell any banana. For me it is only cream with a lot of raw coconut. I am curious how will I feel with this scent in summer because of the coconut note. I like this scent for home but I dont want to smell like this arround people. In my point of view not a safe blind buy.

Banana cream pie, rich and buttery with a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Very sweet, definitely gourmand, my only complaint is that it leans a bit synthetic. I can see this being quite wonderful in early autumn, but it’s definitely quite a quirky scent and as such probably not for everyone. Worth a sample regardless.

This is a fun, fruity fragrance, I do like it and I think I will get a full bottle as it's quite a good price. It smells to me as if Cantu had a child with Garnier Hair Food Banana.

I get more of a banana cream pie than just pudding. There is a strong buttery crust smell on the opening for me. This is definitely for the realistic gourmand lovers only!

Banana what? All I smell is hot buttered caramel popcorn. Delicious. Only lasts a few hours ( hopefully it just needs to macerate for a few months).

What banana? Maybe it needs to macerate a while before I can pick up that scent note. Smells just like very sweet buttery popcorn.

I get 100% bananas foster. Mom says it smells like coconutty suntan lotion. Extremely sweet. It's nice! Ugly bottle though.

I am keep trying this perfume and no banana scent at all. To me its a popcorn smell nothing else

Smells like bubble tea cafe. Projection and longevity are really impressive. Worth the price!

Category: Gourmand, sweet, lactonic, vanilla Notes: Very linear scent - the banana, whipped cream, coconut and vanilla all share an equal amount of space. The overall scent impression I would say smells identical to a banoffee pie - there's banana, a bit of dry, flaky crust, the depth and sweetness from the luscious caramel and a decadent, creamy and lactonic touch from the whipped cream & coconut. That's where it starts and stays for the majority of wear - after about 7 hours it settles in a warmer, sweet and cozy vanilla. Vibe: Banoffee pie. Dessert. November. Candied chestnuts. Baking. Log cabin. Fireplace. Cast-iron pan. Suburban living. Open house. Thanksgiving. Sillage: 6.5/10. Just enough - no crazy, cloying projection but also not a skin scent. You will leave a scent trail and people will notice it if you go in for a hug or lean in close, but you won't stink up a room. Longevity: 10/10. This passes the 24 hour test! Could still detect it on my wrist even after 24 hours and a good long sleep in between. Guaranteed this will last you a minimum of 8 hours, if not more. Insanely impressive performance in terms of longevity, especially for the price point. That being said, sillage does diminish with time. Wear: Day or night. I'd say this is an all year round kind of fragrance but probably best suited for fall and winter because of the creamy, dry and caramel-y nature. Leans ever so slightly feminine but overall very unisex and absolutely not off limits for men. Office wear approved. Overall rating: 4.5/10. I'll be the first to admit this isn't a bad scent, I mean who wouldn't wanna smell like a banoffee pie? Well... me. Personally I don’t really love the flavor or scent of it as I don’t think the banana and caramel really go together that well, plus warm bananas feel kind of illegal somehow. I was hoping this would be a little fresher and fruitier than it is, but quite opposite it's very rich and decadent and quite creamy and lactonic. It does switch up after about 7 hours of wear and turns into a warm and sweet vanilla that admittedly I do adore, but the 7 hour wait is not worth it when I can find great vanilla scents that deliver that upfront. That being said, maybe somebody other than me would rock this. I think if you enjoy gourmands this would definitely be up your wheelhouse and if you're looking for a scent where the banana is actually detectable this is it. So many banana scents don't even smell like bananas but it's unmistakable here and sticks around for a long time, although be mindful that it isn't the star of the show but shares the scene equally with its friends. The longevity on this is crazy good too so it'll likely last you a long time if you really enjoy this scent. Who would wear it?: Nigella Lawson.

I was so excited to try this because I love a banana scent, but I sadly get more coconut than banana here. On top of that, it smells quite plasticky. All in all, I really only smell coconut and spun sugar, it’s not nearly as creamy as I expected. It has minimal sillage and lasts about 6 hours. I’m going to let it macerate for a few months to see if it develops a bit more because otherwise I’m pretty underwhelmed. In terms of perfumes listed as similar— ❌ BTSO Nanatopia: very boozy and spicy ❌ SDJ ‘71: a sweet and nutty cookie scent, has no coconut

I didn't like it, I find it to be a very artificial and synthetic scent. It smells like a very sweet banana with a hint of butter, dense, heavy, and plasticky (yes, it can remind you of banana bread). This is super long-lasting and proyects very well But personally, it's not something I want to wear on my skin; it feels like an air freshener. It's very synthetic (I'll repeat that in case it wasn't clear xD). I've tried better Gourdman scents that are much more realistic and wearable. this is not for me.

My hobby is baking and the opening of this one smell exactly like banana extract used for sweet recipes. It even comes with that alcohol smell in artificial flavour products, I wonder if they use the same formula 🤔. The dry down becomes more creamy vanilla, that type of vanilla you can find in Bath and Body Works products. Actually, it's not bad but I'm not sure if I want to smell like banana extract or someone who just finished baking banana cake. 😂

At first, I didn’t really like this perfume—it smelled exactly like plain banana milk. But over time, I grew to love its buttery note, which reminded me of freshly baked banana cake I used to enjoy in my childhood. When I layer it with Bint Hooran, the combination is amazing—richer, more complex, and far more pleasant than wearing it alone. Update: I have to part with this, as it’s become quite nauseating and makes my stomach turn.

"Sweet" in a plastic way. Definitely no bananas in there. I have Banana Flambé and that's a realistic banana smell, not this. Smells maybe like the banana peel, like a dirty organic matter, decomposing banana peel and plastic. Not bad, definitely not good. And like if that wasn't enough, it is the exact same dumb smell as "Creamy Biscuit", no difference at all. Awkward smell but will keep for the silly bottle, I guess.

This smells absolutely incredible upon application but quickly develops into something not nearly as delicious. I just had my 8 year old smell it after it had been on my skin for 5 minutes and he said it smells like popcorn. I asked him if he smells banana at all and he said no. Definitely won’t be purchasing. Bummer.

This one smells just like B&BW Coconut Cream Pie and I’m disappointed! I thought about letting it sit for a few weeks but the box says it was made 05/24. Should i wait or should i return it?

smells delicious, I want to eat it, but I do not want to wear it as perfume. Too gourmand for my taste.

Banana bread with pecan. A little nauseaying for me, but well done. I prefer Vanille Banana from CSP.

It’s meh. Opening is delicious banana-ish dessert but the dry down is a generic boring vanilla.

smells exactly like the SDJ 71

I was really hoping for a fun, creamy banana scent, but Banana Bliss completely missed the mark for me. It smells super synthetic - more like artificial banana bread than anything smooth or natural. Can't smell any of the listed notes. Instead of being cozy or gourmand, to me it comes off as dry and almost suffocating perfume. I’m so glad I only bought a small decant because there’s no way I could handle a full bottle of this. It is not what I was looking for. If you love realistic banana fragrances, this one might not be it. Definitely a pass for me.

I wanted a banana fragrance this isn’t it. Why did they have to put coconut in this one so now it’s starts off as 2 secs of banana followed by a coconut vanilla over powering the banana note. Why not just do banana and vanilla?! I don’t need another coconut fragrance! Bought this for the banana that was misrepresented by calling this perfume Banana Bliss, it’s definitely not! Another bad blind buy! If you want just a basic coconut fragrance this is all this is.

got it for myself for christmas! i’m not sure if it’s just my skin chemistry being funky, but along with the delicious banana bread and bakery smell, i get this very odd note that smells like... chicken stock? like very sharp and salty, it made me nauseous while i wore this, it has great longevity so i could not get rid of this smell lol but the dry down is a very lovely vanilla! i’ll see if letting it macerate for a bit changes anything

This is STRONG and lasts FOREVER. I sprayed 1 spray in the air in my room and could smell it 12 hours later. It definitely smells like banana pudding, but there's something sour about it as well that's off putting (ha... pudding putting... anyway) to me. If you like the smell of banana pudding, for the price this is well worth a blind buy, cause it's a performer to say the least.
