  1. I picked it up by chance at a street stall and it was a total hit: if you’re dying for something sweet and like the smell of banana, it’s your perfume. It smells fantastic, but it’s already a pain to find. The scent is identical from start to finish, ‘sweet banana’, but it only lasts a few hours on the skin and clothes.

  2. I stumbled upon this by chance at a street stall and it was a total hit: if you’re craving something sweet and love the scent of banana, this is your perfume. It smells absolutely divine, but finding it these days is a real pain. The scent remains identical from start to finish—a sweet banana—but it only lasts a few hours on skin and clothes before fading.

  3. Instant love at first sniff; I simply adore it. It smells of banana bubblegum, nothing heavy. It has excellent longevity despite being a mist, what a shame it was only a limited edition.

  4. This green fruity fragrance has become my summer staple. The longevity is top-notch with a moderate trail. It lasts through the workday without annoying anyone. Highly recommended.

  5. I was gifted this body mist and it was more pleasant than I expected. I never imagined I’d enjoy the banana note, but I must say, for the heat, it’s perfect. It doesn’t have an outrageous trail, but for a spray, it’s ideal and clings to my skin all day. A definite yes for daily use on hot days.

  6. I picked it up on Vinted and I’ve loved it, especially because I rarely get good results from blind buys. Upon opening it, my head nearly exploded as it smells a lot like By The Fireplaces, my favourite. I prefer it to the original because it’s sweeter and less smoky. It has poor longevity and sillage, but for the price it’s a wonder and doesn’t give me nausea like others do.

  7. I picked this up on Vinted and really liked it, especially since I had low hopes for this spray (I’ve made many blind buys and they rarely work out; it’s hard to find a scent I like 😅). I decided to order it after reading it was similar to By The Fireplaces (which I do enjoy). Upon opening it, I nearly burst my head because it does bear a strong resemblance to that perfume. It left me absolutely thrilled 😂🤩. I like it even more because it’s sweeter and less smoky. That said, it has poor longevity and a very faint trail. But honestly, for the price, it’s not bad at all… The scent is wonderful. I don’t notice the alcohol hit that other perfumes have; it’s quite sweet (but not overwhelming or nauseating) and special. I’ve really enjoyed it; it’s very pleasant ☺️

  8. The alcohol is very strong at first; has anyone heard of banana sweets? The scent is very similar to a sweet or banana gummy. I absolutely love it, although its longevity on my skin is extremely poor :(. It’s a sweet fragrance but not cloying.

  9. At first, the alcohol hits hard, but then it smells like banana sweets, very sweet without being cloying. I love it, although on my skin it lasts almost nothing 🙁

    These body mists have a lot of alcohol and that’s the first thing you notice, but then the banana 🍌 screams quite strongly and it’s the only thing I perceive: sweet banana, like a roasted banana treat. The longevity is poor, about three hours like all mists.

    I searched everywhere for it, but the disappointment is that it doesn’t smell like sweet banana, but rather a very heavy banana. Additionally, the sillage isn’t good.

    I looked for it everywhere and was disappointed that it doesn’t smell of banana sweets, but rather of a rather heavy banana ): nevertheless, it doesn’t have a good trail.

  13. It’s a super sweet and youthful fragrance to the 100%; it starts with an alcoholic opening with lemon that evaporates to leave a scent between candied fruit sweets, a chocolatey touch, golden caramel over bananas or banana gum. It impregnates the skin very well; it claims to be a mist but it lasts like a good 250ml lotion at a good price.
