Eclaire Banoffi

I am currently on a major banana fragrance kick right now after sampling and buying banana rush by JHAG. It has caused an addiction to the banana note that has made me buy banoffi along with 4 other fragrances within the span of 2 months. I would say Banoffi is probably my favourite banana. Banana Rush is a close second if not tied, if only the banana note lasted longer. With banoffi, I can smell the banana note even in the dry down, which is something other banana perfumes can’t seem to accomplish. The fragrance starts out with a burst of banana candy and a juicy sweetness which quickly (within a couple of minutes) transforms into a more ripe banana with some of that eclair/bianco latte in the background. This fragrance is not dense like eclair and is a lot more airy and light. It is so addicting and the performance is pretty good. I’ve been wearing it every day, usually layered with Banana Rush, and get compliments a lot. People won’t think you smell like a walking banana but they will comment that you smell very good. I would say it lasts about 6 hours, but I get nose blind to it now because I wear it so much. I imagine the performance will get better over time like Eclair, but I also get whiffs of it the next day as well. If you want to smell like a banana cream pie or banana dessert, get this!

I wanted a milkshake fun banana scent. I have Banana Foster by The Dua but it's got cinnamon, banana liqueur, caramel liqueur sauce and rum so it's very Christmasy and balsamic warm spicy not a carefree, light tropical banana vanilla scent. I had also sold my Demeter Banana Flambee as it grew too cloying for me with the cognac, and its oily consistency prolly made it more powdery as it macerated. Pistache Eclaire is too vanilla centered not much pistachio there for me (not bad tho) so I was worried that Banoffi would likewise be like Eclaire with a hint of banana in the opening. It's not like that. It's got a fun intense candy-like banana scent the first 30 mins that's reminiscent of the 90s banana ice cream I had as a kid, the one with the smiley face and some chocolate that it tasted and smelled like banana candy. It's not vanilla with some banana. It's a blast of this happy bright rich banana scent like a banana ice cream milkshake. Not heavy not too warm. No chocolate scent here. That's the vibe. The dulce de leche and whipped cream with the biscuit justify the fun ice cream lactonic scent, but truly the banana fruit scent is at the forefront which is what I wanted.

Yum I really like this. When opened the box I felt like I was opening up a confectioners candy and found the Willy Wonka golden ticket because the top of box is gold foil and it gives luxury. The top notes are incredible. It smells like banana pudding 🍌 , 🍮 caramel and vanilla 🍦 with whipped cream. The drydown turns into a soft buttery biscuit skin scent and it's lovely and tropical. At first I don't like the smell of the lactonic biscuit note but when it dries down it settles very softly and isn't as lactonic. It's a summertime fragrance. I can see me wearing this to the beach in the early evening to watch the sun go down ☀️. It has creaminess to it but the projection /sillage is not very alluring yet. But I'm not totally disappointed . I really like it. The bottle is absolutely beautiful it's very heavy and very luxurious. If it sits 2 to 3 months it will be spectacular. I'll let it sit and I'll come back and update my review. 💛☀️🍌🍮🍦💛🍮🍌🍦💛☀️🍦🍌🍮🍦 I am also going to make Banoffi dessert as soon as possible. I love anything that has bananas in it. 🍌🍌🍌🍌

absolutely love! banana milkshake is very spot on. i understand not everyone is a fan of banana as a fruit or a flavor, but this is pretty unique for being so simple. not many good banana fragrances out there and this is straight up just bananas and cream for me, nothing too complex beyond that and i appreciate the straight forwardness. i’m not a fan of eclaire or bianco latte and don’t understand the hype for either- neither genuinely smell like caramel or sweet gourmand because there’s just too much musk going on dulling it down. i think this one is so underrated compared to those two, but again, a lot of people just don’t appreciate banana

Smells like banana milk I'm going INSANE. Also a bit like classic banana candy. Either way this is insanely good if you love sugary and overly sweet scents.
