Man I was hoping that Tobacco & Tonka Bean was #1 I grabbed it from Burlington about 2 months ago for $20 only been able to wear it 2x during the day when it was much cooler weather but it smell so good!!
Have both the Dark cherry and amber and Tonka Bean and tobacco. He is 100 percent right about the descriptions. Dark cherry is awesome but only last maybe 2 hrs. Tonka smells awesome and last between 4-6 hrs.
Picked up Metal Rain on a blind buy and love it. I use it before bed and really enjoy the scent while I'm just relaxing or falling asleep. Also works well on rainy days.
I have 12 of the Banana Republic Icon fragrances. Collected them all through pickups at rack stores. Don't have Grassland or Metal Rain yet, but I'm keeping my eye out! Here's how I would personally rank the rest of them: 1. Tobacco & Tonka Bean 2. 78 Vintage Green 3. 17 Oud Mosaic 4. Dark Cherry & Amber 5. Cypress Cedar 6. 90 Pure White 7. 83 Leather Reserve 8. Linen Vetiver 9. Neroli Woods 10. Peony & Peppercorn 11. Gardenia & Cardamom 12. 06 Black Platinum
I picked up Metal Rain for under 30 and I must say it is pleasant. On my skin it becomes very subtle but works nice on my clothing and seems to activate with my body heat. It’s one to be discovered versus announced.
Idk if you ever smelt their Republic of Men cologne. It’s discontinued now but man it’s great! I have a tiny 1 oz that I baby. Really good plum opening. With a powdery woody finish. You can’t find it anywhere anymore. You lucky to get your nose on it now.
I got my no. 17 Oud today and I really love it. However, when my wife came home she asked if I had sprayed insect repellent lol! It’s an acquired scent I guess… I immediately get the rose and the fireplace smokiness, and with only 3 sprays I fill up the room for the first 2 hours.
Yeah I have a few of them including oud mosaic. I thought it smelled like flowers and cow shit. Pure white is pleasant but feminine imo. Tobacco and Tonka bean smells very good but I don't see myself wearing it.
I mix 1/2 tonka 1/4 dark cherry and 1/4 gardenia and the ladies love it. My only 3 are tonka, gardenia and dark cherry the rest i will pass on. Men don't pass up gardenia when layered right its a lady magnet, people often ask if i am wearing baccarat rouge 540
You earned a sub fam. These fragrances are the best bang for your buck hands down. For me it started with a blind buy of dark cherry and amber. The rest is history
@@FragranceHunter I haven’t. I just discovered the new ones from your channel. I’ve def got my eyes open at the rack stores. So far I have DC&A, Tobacco and Tonka, Cypress Cedar, Black Platinum, Metal rain, Gardenia and cardamom and Peony and Pinkpeppercorn for the girlfriend. I’m impressed with them all
I really like the Icon line. They WERE cheap. ..not anymore. I am glad I jumped on these. I have about 12 of these. They are very pleasant and non- offensive. Great bang for the buck. I just wish they were stronger. But my favorites are: Neroli Woods, Vintage Green and Black Rain. Oh and also Oud Mosaic. Like I said..I have all but 3 or 4.
I own vintage green, cypress cedar, leather reserve, Tobacco and tonka bean, and neroli woods. I love them all. I got them all for $19.99 a piece at Burlington.
Awesome vid. My favs vintage green, tobacco & tonka, black walnut, cedar & cypress, grassland, dark cherry & amber, metal rain and linen vetiver. All are great for the price just make sure u get them at the rack stores. Online they usually are inflated
My Heart just jumped with surprise! I literally just bought that Oud Mosaic 15mins ago from The Perfume Shop for £26 as a total random hopeful guess while ordering my Chanel body lotion. I saw the Banana Republic range & decided to try one, im so glad you rate it so highly. Greetings frim the UK. P.S. I almost went for Grassland.
@FIONA21ful lol...I purchased it as a blind buy since most of the other fragrance from them are well done. I didn't even wanna keep it in my collection...I own over 350 fragrances, and I was so disappointed.. I took it back and exchanged it..smells like a dead embalmed corpse...don't understand how people like that weird fecal barnyard undertone...lol..
I have both Metal Rain and Vintage Green. Love them both. Next one I wanna get is Cypress Cedar. I had to return Oud Mosaic because it smells like mothballs in an old lady closet. I just can't see myself wearing it. I love Tom Ford Oud Wood and it smells great. Oud Mosaic is just nasty on my skin. If someone wanna get it, better sample it first.
I Love 90 Pure White. It’s the cleanest fragrance ever and smells so good. Also Tobacco and Tonka Bean and Dark Cherry Amber.. I’ve picked all mine up from Burlington .. I’ve been thinking bout getting the metal rain and the Neroli woods that’s always there
if you like cypress cedar, you may like atelier cologne's atlas cedar. I happen to have both and out of curiosity, I sprayed each on my hands, and I prefer it over BR's offering, better quality and more niche-like.
Great pick up Metal Rain is awesome! No, they are not discontinued So Avant Garde still carries the Icon line who is the distributor for Banana Republic and just launched three new fragrances within the line. Check out my recent video!
Haha, I say the exact same thing about Cypress Cedar, and I can't quite place it: It reminds me of a cozy thanksgiving or christmas gathering. This might be an unpopular opinion, but for me it's a 100% cold winter daytime fragrance. Perfect for morning coffee with the family on christmas.
Im planning to collect all. I picked up Peony and Peppercorn at Ross by accident. And I like it. The site you recommended That carries banana rep. Fragrances are expensive thouhg $90 each.
They are all great and they just launched three brand new ones that I recently did a video on! So Avant Garde is the distributor for Banana Republic fragrances so they are at their recommended retail price. You can get them for $76 with code FRAGHUNTER15
@@FragranceHunter hi thank u, can i ask you to help me find a banana rep. Fragrance that kind of similar to antonio banderas blue seduction? I want to gift to my husband. But could not figure out which one. Are u familiar with A Banderas blue seduction?
@@langgalyn Banana Republic Midnight Hour which is tropical and woody just like Blue Seduction! Since getting a bottle it’s become one of my favorites from Banana Republic so I’m sure he’d love it!
I finally found some Banana Republic fragrances in a rack store but none were from the Icon line. Do you recommend any others? Black Walnut, Black Walnut Legend, Modern, Cordovan?
Black Walnut and Legend are outstanding. Legend even has some Aventus vibes. Just wish they performed better but the value is still good if you pick them up for around 20 at Burlington
Love the video and I was lucky to be able to find both the Grassland and Metal Rain for 19.99 at my local Burlington Coat Factory. To me grassland smell like the Irish Spring Soap to me. Metal Rain almost remind me of the Black Platinum but a little softer. But I had to get a backup of Tobacco and Tonka Bean.
That’s awesome that you found Grassland & Metal Rain at Burlington seen a few people starting to come across them! Which do you prefer and Tobacco and Tonka Bean is definitely backup bottle worthy!
I found today Oud Mosaic and Dark cherry amber for $19.99 I only took the dark cherry amber because I didn’t try Oud Mosaic before and it may be too masculine for me … i am also a gourmand girl 🥰
@@petbull7038 throw Black Platinum in there too stuff stinks like a powdery old man so far I have grassland, metal rain, vintage green, and tobacco and tonka like them all but that bp was horrible 🤢
I bought a bunch of these and regret every one except oud mosaic and cypress cedar. Mosaic is like Dior Ispahan light, and Cypress is like Terre d'Hermes EDC.
they have like 5 to 7 different banana republics of these in burlington coat factory for over a year, but they have never carried oud mossaic, i stop by every few weeks to see, but oud mosaic is hard to find.
I found one at Burlington the other day, bought it and returned the next day. I love Oud but this one comes across like mothballs in an old lady's closet to me. I can't stand it. I have Tom Ford Oud Wood and I love that one.
My favorite so far: tonka and tobacco, amber and cherry and neroli woods. All of them are unisex, some might say leaning slightly feminine, but personally I think a man can rock it. Metal rain smells great but lasts like 2 hours so it’s hard pass for me.
I almost got the whole collection from burlington it took almost 2 years but I rather hunt them down in rack stores also for the original penguin and vince camuto line found them all in the rack stores its more fun
Very nice job on this list ... great descriptions of each. I have to admit that I pretty much only use my Banana Republic fragrances to spray on pillows and sheets as the performance is generally pretty lackluster. I'm a collector and felt the need to have them, but I won't replace them when they're gone. But scent is very subjective and my opinion, plus a nickel, is worth exactly five cents. Keep up the great reviews!

Tobacco & Tonka Bean could’ve easily been #1 such an incredible tobacco fragrance!
Reminds me of when my uncle would pack up his Sherlock pipe when I was little.
I were mine in the summer, the women love it.
To me it kinda smells like a dogs rubber chew toy but it’s good. I feel like it leans more feminine.
Just bought Tobacco and Tonka and 17 Oud Mosaic at Burlington last night. Love both, but especially the T & T! Sooo good. Especially at $19.99 each.

Cypress Cedar is nice and the Neroli Woods, I had both..but ran out of the Cypress. If that's any indicator of how amazing it is. Keep searching!

Tabacco and Tonka bean is smells like black phantom
My most compliments come from wearing Black Platinum...
I own 3. My top is the green tea note. 2nd Gardenias. And 3rd is oud...oud is super strong 💪. I don't like the first spray but i like the dry down.

Mosaic is like Dior Ispahan light, and Cypress is like Terre d'Hermes EDC.
Very close to Oud Ispahan and I can definitely see the similarities between Cypress Cedar & Terre D’Heremes
Tobacco and tonka bean reminds me of blue lazuli by armani reserve prive for a cheaper price 40-60 usd vs 300 usd
This line is nice however, the don’t last long at all. I get about 3hrs of projection after that it’s a skin scent.
Cordovan Vintage straight fire!
oud mosaic smells cheaper version of Dior Oud ispahan, maybe you have already smelled but if not, try it at the boutique
