  • Full wear
  • Tested at home
  • On skin

Floral bananas foster without the ice cream. This is all warm caramel & baked banana evolving into faintly spiced coconut vanilla. It gains depth and sweetness as it sits on your skin; mellowing overall into a toasty banana bread. It remains vaguely floral for me, though banana was present through the life of the wear. This would be lovely in the winter, and I plan to revisit it then.

    Banana is my fav note this year! And as a Canadian I can’t help but love the maple note in this too 😅

      Do you think it's FB worthy, by any chance? Banana is SO GOOD❤️PLEASE try Banana Crepe by Oakcha; I'm not a huge fan of their gourmands, but I got their gourmand sampler and had to buy a full bottle of banana crepe after trying it (it's the standout of all their gourmands I've tried). I have MJ Daisy Wild and Wild Intense and I ADORE them, but have found myself reaching for Banana Crepe more (and if I wear the Daisies, I MUST layer them with Banana Crepe)

      Actually, can you tell me of this JHAG has the characteristic Iso E Super-laden base that so many of their frags have? That's the only thing that *might* deinfluence me

      It doesn’t thankfully! That super musky drydown is also a deterrent for me in JHAG frags and I don’t detect it in this one, however I will say it opens very very sweet, I’d definitely recommend trying it before buying just in case it’s not your thing! I personally love it though and have definitely considered a full buy. I’ll have to try banana crepe soon, that sounds delicious

    I’m a tried and true sucker for JHAG scents, but I’m not a huge tropicals person so I’m totally curious how the banana plays out here!

      I love JHAG too! This one doesn’t read as tropical to me. It’s all warm banana floral gourmand. The coconut is there but it contributes to the banana bread vibes.

    How is this on your skin? I smelled it on a friend and absolutely loved it but on me it was WAY too sweet and heavy. Felt more like a Montale scent 😥💔

      It’s definitely warm.

      Sorry, hit send on that before I was finished. It also got a lot sweeter the longer I wore it. I think it will shine in winter but it’s too much for almost hundred degree days

    I love banana scents! Have you tried Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Banane and Hilde Soliani Donna Sentenza?

      I bought samples from Luckyscent years ago! I think they might still have them.
