I’d love to hear about your favorites in this genre! As I say at the end, I left out 3 because it got too noisy but I can show them another time since most of these are good all weather fragrances! Enjoy!!
Same. I don’t like banana anything except this perfume. I layered it with Saab’s Girl of Now to go to court and was stopped by the security women,court staff, a cop and others all day. It layers really good with my chocolate perfumes.
Hey Chris! Sorry to see that we won't be by the pool anymore this summer. I love your outdoor videos. The first fragrance that smacked me in the face with banana was Ylang in Gold. I later went back to it and was able to get more of the floral components and appreciate it more. But I ended up getting Ylang Ylang Nosy Be. I liked the creaminess and depth and spiciness that that one had. Don't know that it's super banana, but I really enjoy it. I'm liking it for the transition time.
You are right!! And that perfume I was saving for the end but the cicadas decided I would show it another time! I love the banana vibe in that one. I had Ylang Nosy Be but let it go… I wasn’t reaching for it at all. But it’s lovely.
I absolutely love Vanille Banane. It smells so good & is very affordable! Really enjoyed the poolside videos this past summer, but looking forward to your autumn & winter videos.
Hello Chris great video as always! So on Tuesday I went to TJ Maxx and I bought my first CSP , V abricot. For 17$!!! It was a love at first sniff! Now I want to purchase my first banana!!! I love your description of a laffy taffy! Now I have to get a sample of AI’s fragrance; been so curious! So happy you gave it an honest review! Be blessed beautiful lady
Oh my gosh! I have Vanille Abricot and love it. Happily paid full price also. You are so lucky! My TJ Maxx never ever has any fragrances other than Paris Hilton. 🤦♀️🤣
@@ThePerfumeNest I actually bought BB Beach for 26$ and it I’m was also a winner! I usually score at the TJ Maxx by my job!! People around the area I work; probably don’t even know or have heard of thee fragrances!! So once again I scored a little gem
@@ThePerfumeNest I also scored with BB Beach! I paid 26-27$ I am lucky that the Tj by my job has perfumes that people in that area have never heard of! So one in a while I score a little gem! Have a blessed evening
Hello Chris! I love my Ambrosia Imperiale and Vanilla Planifolia(which I had stalked at Selfridges online for months) and I recently acquired Bana Banana (after hunting it for months). I love that the banana note is present in all these fragrances yet still definitely smelling like perfume and not food. 🍌🍌🍌
I recently got a sample of Bana Banana and it opened up as a realistic banana to me and quickly dried down to the strongest baby powder! (and my husband and my son both said all they got was baby powder). I’m not a big fan yet, but I’ll try my sample out a bit more! 😊
I had the same experience! That’s why I said “I’m going to underscore powder” and “this one is not my favorite”. 😂😂😂I have a feeling I will be setting her free very soon.
The cicadas!! 😂 they’re so happy 😃 I do also get that banana bread vibe from New York Nights, (which came back in stock on that website I mentioned in my video for $149 so I grabbed it!) 😍😍
Simon Constantine from Lush has his own brand now called ånd fragrances and Sånd is a beautiful dry sandalwood with a lovely Banana Note (he also has one called Får which smells like Lemon cheesecake and I suspect it might be right up your street!). Sånd is odd on first spray but dries down into a very beautiful perfume. Speaking of Lush, I find their Ylang very Banana like and I Looooove Keep it Fluffy which is a tangy fruity floral with banana-like yang, rose and Jasmine. It’s actually amazing in warm weather! I have Muse de Rochas which has a strong banana leaf note and I think it smells like a banana bar soap. Demeter Banana Flambé is fun but smells more like banoffi pie to me as it’s certainly got a biscuit note in it! Ps, I swear by Sympathy for the Skin - I’m not keen on strongly perfumed lotions and that one just works with anything and is so fabulous for my skin! I don’t work for lush or anything, just kinda love the shop 😂
Hi there! I saw his brand over on IG and went to purchase a few bottles that sounded good…they don’t ship to US. Maybe one day!!😂💕 And I’ve been meaning to try Keep It Fluffy.
@@ThePerfumeNest oh no! It says they post to the US but oddly excludes Texas! I hope someone can help you get your hands on some ånd - I had so much fun reviewing the discovery set but ended up wanting multiple bottles 😅
Looking so stunning Chris!! 😍😍😍 I will surely miss our poolside visits but that’s something to look forward to for next year! 🥰 I’m picky with banana but it can be sooo good sometimes !
@@ThePerfumeNest 🥰🥰🥰 ok! I trust you!! You always know what I’ll like! I do like ylang in gold and some other ylang fragrances but that Avon one was way over the top!! 😆🤣
Would love a video with your Lush favorites. I've been getting more into their scents - their lotions & fragrances. I really love Vanillary, reminds me a lot of Bora Bora.. and the Sleepy/Twilight fragrance is one of the best Lavender/Vanilla scents I've ever smelled. Rose Jam is gorgeous too and got me started with their perfumes. They have some other good ones, but I'm still quite new to their fragrance line.
Well, after sampling Vanilla Planifolia based on your recommendation in this beautiful video, I just sprang for a full bottle. In the opening I get a big whiff of what I think is ambroxan, which I can’t tolerate. However, it quickly dissipates, and I’m left with something that resembles intoxicating yet light bananas and cream. Wow! Thank you for turning me on to Vanilla Planifolia…I think.😉
Oh I just loveee this category!! 🍌Granted, Ambrosia Imperiale and Ylang in Gold have been the only ones that are loves for me, but I'm curious to try Le Galion and I'll have to revisit Vanilla Planifolia ☺ I'm definitely craving more fragrances in this profile
I ❤️ the poolside reviews! I love Vanille Banane too. My bottle is over ten years old, in the original metal bottle. I think it’s been reformulated since then, mine smells more like banana bread baking in the oven and smells that way throughout the wear. I like the L’Artisan one too. It’s more of the banana tree. I wish Navitus sold samples. I really have cut back on blind buying like when I went crazy during lockdown. Love youvideos Chris! You’re one of my very favorites!
Aw thank you so much!! What a lovely comment! You made my day!!🙏🏻❤️💕And Navitus has such gorgeous discovery sets; I have three of them but this new line (I think it’s called The Oriental Line) I don’t believe are in a sample set because I was looking to buy it; I wanted to test the new line out and wasn’t going to blind buy. I’m like you. If it’s impossible to sample I’m moving on. It wasn’t meant to be. Maybe I’ll email them and add that to the suggestion box. 💕💕💕
Yes. So it’s on the “Discontinued List” and I’ve found it out of stock on my retail sites. Usually the sign is disappearing. It’s also on sale at Lartisan…..
I think out of these I want to try Moon Carnival, although bana banana has always made me curious because Abi loves that one. Banana is an interesting and rare note.
You might just like Bana Banana because I know you love violet in perfumes and Bana is sweet and powdery. You will probably enjoy it much better than Moon Carnival….just my guess. 😉💕
Very interesting and entertaining to watch - I am a perfume lover but certainly NOT a collector; if I was a collector I probably would have several scents of every single note I found interesting and/or tolerable. Personally I would never wear a banana scent however niche is, but this does not stop me from enjoying a collector pro speaking about the subject, thank you ❤
Le Monde Gourmand had a banana scent last year that very sweet, gourmand, a little bit laffy taffy, but also brown sugar and more sophisticated than Vanille Banane. I want another full bottle of that so badly! I've also really been enjoying the Sugared Banana and Banana Leaf products from Hempz.. the scent power is really good considering they're just body care products. I'd highly recommend.
I know! Because it’s discontinued! One of my favorite perfumes of all time. I’m still hopeful they will bring it back but it’s been gone for YEARS. It was my signature back in the day…🥹
@@ThePerfumeNest wow great to know that. I found a 50ml bottle in a shop a year ago and I am nursing it😅. My 5 year old love un desert Marocain by Taur on me... On my wish list. 🌹
Hey Chris! I love anything gourmand.!! 😊 I would love it if you would someday do a video on all your gourmand lotions and body creams!! 🤤 yummm Btw. The cicadas added a nice touch! Goodbye for now pool videos!
Absolutely love Bana Banana. It added the banana note missing in my collection. I'm the odd man out on Ambrosia Imperiale. It absolutely did work for me. I ended up selling it. Also, sounds like your daughter went to a Debutante ball.
Oh yes it does sound like a debutante ball. But it was a special service at her school..she goes to a girls Catholic School and they had a special Mass and all the young ladies wore white. They all looked so lovely. 👼
I don’t have any Banana perfumes but I love the smell of banana & must try one. I have a couple of Banana body creams. A realistic smelling banana fruit salad one from Hideaway which is really nice. I currently have Banana washing powder & it makes my laundry smell like Banana lollies & im loving that. 🍌
Wow, I love these, all of them, especially the first two! We grew up eating old fashioned banana pudding on holidays and get-togethers. We don't eat sweets anymore, but I can taste it just thinking about it. And I would not mind smelling like it, either, LOL! Just before sundown has a wonderful light and you look radiant, Chris! ~Cynthia P.S. I love the sounds at dusk. Living in the woods myself, it's the sound that puts me to sleep.
I know Cynthia. I am exactly the same, I love to read a book or magazine outside at sunset …all those noises you speak of I find them so relaxing. Except when they get naughty and yell at me when I’m trying to film a video! 😂
My problem is that my roosters seem to know when I'm filming (they can probably hear me talking from 300 ft away in their barn) and they want to be stars. I remember trying to do videos on my front porch after the 17 year cicadas popped out. Boy, oh boy!
Hi Chris, I’m going to miss the poolside videos. I love my Ambrosia Imperial, I like that it’s not too literal. I want to get my nose on Vanilla Planifolia.
Thank you for putting up with the outdoor sounds!!! I’ll do a big vanilla review and maybe do a giveaway of the decants in my video. I know Vanilla Planifolia is harder to get a sample of (I’ve seen samples on Etsy and Mercari). Thank you so much for stopping by and saying “hi”. 🙏🏻❤️
I only have 2 Banana fragrances... I have a 10ml Decant of Ambrosia Imperiale and I grew to enjoy it. I don't think I will need a full size bottle though. I like it and it's unique but I am not going crazy over it like so many seem to be... And I have Vacation, a cheapie (picked up on sale for $30 at Ulta) and this grew on me too. I like it, but not in love. But it is fun and different enough for me to keep in my collection and bring it on vacations or the beach with me. 🍌
Oh my gosh yes Vacation was one of the ones left out at the end? It was 30$? I remember it selling out last year. It’s fun and very nostalgic. Right? 💕
@theperfumenest Chris, the next time you’re in Target or Ulta take a whiff of the Sun Bum face mist. It has to be the face mist. Not a perfume but a yummy experience if you’re a banana fan 💛
Super cool showcasing banana! I wonder how the banana bread body butter would pair with Ylang? Have you tried it? 😀Will be def looking into Vanilla Panifolia!!
I order from Cocoapink - their coco mango body butters are creamy and delicious smelling. Banana Coconut Cloud Pie is amazing. They have so many fragrances - sprays - oils - everything for a gourmand lover and more. (I’m not affiliated lol - I just love their products)
Oh my gosh someone told me about their website last year and no joke I spent over two hours making a wishlist. I was blown away by their selection. Then I gave up when I couldn’t narrow down to less than 30! Got to go back and be strong!!🤣💕
Hi Chris, great video. I have Buontalenti and two others without a banana note but with the smell: Ylang in Gold, and New York Nights. I live in the Netherlands and would totally blind buy Ambrosia Imperiale. I have a decant of Bana Banana; will test it now.
Yes! Ylang was one of the ones left out at the end you are right?!! And New York Nights has been in my shopping cart! It’s so yummy and I totally agree!!!🙌💕
I have been obsessed with feminine powdery vanillas lately. I have Junoon Noir (a Xerjoff Dama Bianca dupe that I enjoy more than the OG, but they're super close anyway*)... and I also got another dupe called Forbidden Sugar from Paris Corner I think?? I dunno it's another Middle Eastern brand. It needed a couple short weeks to macerate, but now it is so lovely. Both fragrances are soft but present, feminine and addictive & sweet. Would love a video on these kinds of scents.
Oh man, your last day by the poolside and it’s so hot here today🤩🤩. Mine would be Chopard, Ylang in Gold and Le Parfum Royale🍌🍌. I have a sample of Bana Banana and I really like it and I don’t know why I find it quite playful🍌🍌. See you next time by the fireplace🔥🔥. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
I went crazy or bananas :) for banana this year and I also have Simone Fracassi Donna Sentenza;-very gourmand to my nose; Boy! I have to hold onto my Bana Banana and treasure it. Furthermore I have Daukens Arome bananes bruele. Also, Bonbon Banae -bit more flowery which I prefer. My fave is a total cheapy $5 or so from a seller I found on ebay called banana floral .From Dua Brand travel sizes of Banana & Vanilla Custard Flan.
Oh my gosh thank you! Looked a few up! It looks like Daukens Arome sold out of Bananes Brûlée but they have some other yummy sounding options thanks you! 🙏🏻💕💕
I always prefer gourmands that are not straight photo-realistic foodie gourmands it seems. I want my perfume to smell like a perfume. But I love gourmands.
While I will never let a banana pass my lips(I despise them!) I actually enjoy the banana gourmands that you mentioned as well as Bana Banana…go figure! I am anxious to try 1973 Banana Candy.
I spray after I get dressed on my clothes. The only exception is if I’m wearing something solidly white and the juice is darker. I’ll spray further away and walk into a more diffuse must so as to not discolor my clothes. Otherwise BAM, right on the clothing. It keeps the scent more “pure” by not reacting to skin chemistry. Esp for more freshie fragrances.
Is there a particular cycle that perfumers follow as to when they remake and restock? Like when in the year are we most likely to find things in stock? I'm guessing they restart production the Fall getting ready for Christmas? 🎄🎄
@@ThePerfumeNest thanks. I wore bana banana for the first time yesterday at work and I loved it. I didn't get many compliments but then again I work in an emergency room so I'm not really trying to call attention to myself. But it did last on me my entire 12-hour shift. I definitely enjoyed it.
Of course I’ve been wanted to try Ambrosia Imperiale because I love AI and have watched her for years.. but it’s so different from anything I’ve tried, not sure what I’d think.. I know the saffron would help tho!
I’d love to hear about your favorites in this genre! As I say at the end, I left out 3 because it got too noisy but I can show them another time since most of these are good all weather fragrances! Enjoy!!
Dua Fragances has a lot of gourmand banana perfumes ! Very good
I don’t have any straight up banana fragrances but I’ll have to smell my fragrances with gardenia and/or tuberose in them
Hi, are any of these similar to Sicily by D&G? The discontinued one? It was fantastic and I'm looking for something similar. Thank you 🙏
@@magnolia3576 unfortunately no. I loved that one!!
Ambrosia Imperial is definitely a compliment getter. I think someone says something every time I wear it. Great list ❤
I also love this perfume, just ordered a bottle. Reminds me of juicy fruit gum in the best way possible!
I can believe it! I was quite shocked how popular it was with friends and coworkers. 🤷♀️🙌
That’s so cute!!
Same. I don’t like banana anything except this perfume. I layered it with Saab’s Girl of Now to go to court and was stopped by the security women,court staff, a cop and others all day. It layers really good with my chocolate perfumes.
@@LotsofLisa yes! I haven’t tried layering it with anything.
The part you were talking about your daughter was priceless ❤❤❤
Aw. Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️She is my little sweetie. Wait…she’s a big girl now 🥹 (teenager). 💕💕

Bana Banana is so wonderfully done!
Yes. ❤️
Love the church bells and the loud cicadas in the back ground LOL
Oh my gosh! It was so ridiculous it was comical. 😂😂😂😂 The church bells were cute. But it was noises from everywhere!!🤷♀️🤦♀️🤣
Hello Chris, here watching 💛 Thanks for the mention.
Thanks for the sample darlin!
I love to see your dog in the back!! ❤
I didn’t notice that until editing. That’s my little squirt Winnifred Cordelia. 😍❤️🐶
Oh my goodness!! The cicadas!!
Lovely video as always! ❤️
Yes! They were yelling at me to get off of the stage! 😂
I smell the inside of the banana skin at first with bana banana drying down to a powdery candy banana ! Such a beautiful fragrance ,so glad I have it
Yes! So true ! It is candied. Sweet powdery banana candy. 💯
Love the cicada chorus!
Oh my goodness!!! “Chorus” was right! They were going back and forth left to right of me. I felt them mocking me!! 🤣
Hey Chris! Sorry to see that we won't be by the pool anymore this summer. I love your outdoor videos. The first fragrance that smacked me in the face with banana was Ylang in Gold. I later went back to it and was able to get more of the floral components and appreciate it more. But I ended up getting Ylang Ylang Nosy Be. I liked the creaminess and depth and spiciness that that one had. Don't know that it's super banana, but I really enjoy it. I'm liking it for the transition time.
You are right!! And that perfume I was saving for the end but the cicadas decided I would show it another time! I love the banana vibe in that one. I had Ylang Nosy Be but let it go… I wasn’t reaching for it at all. But it’s lovely.
On the hunt for more Banana Flower fragrances!
I have to thank you for my Ambrosia Imperiale discount. I used your code! 😂🙌💕💕😃🥰
I love that slight tartness that bananas have when they have just a little bit of green still on them ♥️😋🍌
Yes!!💕
I absolutely love Vanille Banane. It smells so good & is very affordable! Really enjoyed the poolside videos this past summer, but looking forward to your autumn & winter videos.
Aw thank you so much for the feedback and for watching over the Summer! 🙏🏻❤️❤️

Aw thank you! The half sweater I got at Zara. The blazer jacket I need to check. 😀💕
Hi Chris, I’m going to miss the poolside videos. I love my Ambrosia Imperial, I like that it’s not too literal. I want to get my nose on Vanilla Planifolia.
Thank you for putting up with the outdoor sounds!!! I’ll do a big vanilla review and maybe do a giveaway of the decants in my video. I know Vanilla Planifolia is harder to get a sample of (I’ve seen samples on Etsy and Mercari). Thank you so much for stopping by and saying “hi”. 🙏🏻❤️
I only have 2 Banana fragrances... I have a 10ml Decant of Ambrosia Imperiale and I grew to enjoy it. I don't think I will need a full size bottle though. I like it and it's unique but I am not going crazy over it like so many seem to be...
And I have Vacation, a cheapie (picked up on sale for $30 at Ulta) and this grew on me too. I like it, but not in love. But it is fun and different enough for me to keep in my collection and bring it on vacations or the beach with me. 🍌
Oh my gosh yes Vacation was one of the ones left out at the end? It was 30$? I remember it selling out last year. It’s fun and very nostalgic. Right? 💕
@theperfumenest Chris, the next time you’re in Target or Ulta take a whiff of the Sun Bum face mist. It has to be the face mist. Not a perfume but a yummy experience if you’re a banana fan 💛
Oh nice thanks! I love that line! 🙌😀
Hey Chris!!❤❤ I really love ambrosia imperiale😊
Hi!! Oh my gosh I could not believe how much those around me loved it as well. A coworker asked to spray my little decant! So cute!!! 🙌💕
I'll get a sample of Buontalenti! Today's combo for me is Malibu PITB over Coconut Nanas! Hugely humid here and in the 90's. x
Oh my gosh sounds yummy! I miss the hot weather! It’s 50 this morning. Boo! 🤣
Super cool showcasing banana! I wonder how the banana bread body butter would pair with Ylang? Have you tried it? 😀Will be def looking into Vanilla Panifolia!!
I haven’t tried that combo! 😵🙏🏻
I order from Cocoapink - their coco mango body butters are creamy and delicious smelling. Banana Coconut Cloud Pie is amazing. They have so many fragrances - sprays - oils - everything for a gourmand lover and more. (I’m not affiliated lol - I just love their products)
Oh my gosh someone told me about their website last year and no joke I spent over two hours making a wishlist. I was blown away by their selection. Then I gave up when I couldn’t narrow down to less than 30! Got to go back and be strong!!🤣💕
@@ThePerfumeNestlol I know - it took me forever to choose. I want to eat the body butters!
Hi Chris, great video. I have Buontalenti and two others without a banana note but with the smell: Ylang in Gold, and New York Nights. I live in the Netherlands and would totally blind buy Ambrosia Imperiale. I have a decant of Bana Banana; will test it now.
Yes! Ylang was one of the ones left out at the end you are right?!! And New York Nights has been in my shopping cart! It’s so yummy and I totally agree!!!🙌💕
omg i was craving a banana scented perfume last week... divine timing 🍌🤍✨
Yay!!
Chris you have some Omazing fragrance's in this video.
🤣🤣🤣Omazing. You are too funny!!
I have some fun with words sometimes and i be cracking myself up@@ThePerfumeNest
I have been obsessed with feminine powdery vanillas lately. I have Junoon Noir (a Xerjoff Dama Bianca dupe that I enjoy more than the OG, but they're super close anyway*)... and I also got another dupe called Forbidden Sugar from Paris Corner I think?? I dunno it's another Middle Eastern brand. It needed a couple short weeks to macerate, but now it is so lovely. Both fragrances are soft but present, feminine and addictive & sweet. Would love a video on these kinds of scents.
Oh I’m wearing a divine one today! Celeste ! Will do!
Chris, you look so pretty!! i love your top and & blazer.
Aw! Thank you so much Tati! 🙏🏻💕💕
I love your poolside every summer! 😉 Vanille banane is great I just wish it lasted longer on me… 😊
Thank you! Yes it’s not a monster. I like it for evening at home/ night time 💕
Moon Carnival is on my blind buy list 😂 It sounds beautiful
Naughty!! No no. 🤣Samples at Lucky Scent and Twisted Lily.
Oh man, your last day by the poolside and it’s so hot here today🤩🤩. Mine would be Chopard, Ylang in Gold and Le Parfum Royale🍌🍌. I have a sample of Bana Banana and I really like it and I don’t know why I find it quite playful🍌🍌. See you next time by the fireplace🔥🔥. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Thank you luv! It’s already chilly here. I miss the Summer heat. Doesn’t last very long where I live
We will miss the pool videos ! ❤
Aw thanks love!!
I need to grab a banana body butter
Loved this so much ❤
You are my sweetie. 💕.
Best banana that I've tried is Danna Sentenza by Hilde Soliani. It's banana pudding/ laughy taffy with cookies & a side of caramel
Oh Lord! I have avoided putting that one in the basket! Sounds delish! 🤣🍌😵
Have you tried Buontalenti? They sound like they have similar notes.
@ThePerfumeNest I think I did but for some reason, I didn't like it as much
Ooh please consider doing a video all about marshmallow fragrance note please 🤍🤍
Ok! I did one last year but need an update!
I went crazy or bananas :) for banana this year and I also have Simone Fracassi Donna Sentenza;-very gourmand to my nose; Boy! I have to hold onto my Bana Banana and treasure it. Furthermore I have Daukens Arome bananes bruele. Also, Bonbon Banae -bit more flowery which I prefer. My fave is a total cheapy $5 or so from a seller I found on ebay called banana floral .From Dua Brand travel sizes of Banana & Vanilla Custard Flan.
Oh my gosh thank you! Looked a few up! It looks like Daukens Arome sold out of Bananes Brûlée but they have some other yummy sounding options thanks you! 🙏🏻💕💕
On me kind of banana vibe has Shalimas Souffle de Lumiere. I love it.
Yes!!! I agree. 💕Wasn’t that your wedding scent?
@@ThePerfumeNest I've never corrected you, but my wedding scent was L'interdit Givenchy edp.
@@KarolinaPL06 ah!!! Ok! Perfect choice!!! That Soufflé was special to you somehow.
@@ThePerfumeNest It's still special. Generally, I love Shalimar and have an original and a few flankers. I am devoted Guerlain fun.
Ylang in Gold doesn’t have a banana note but it definitely gives me a banana custard vibe 🍌
It does and you are so right and that is one that was left out at the end because of the cicadas!! 🥰🥰🥰😀
I always prefer gourmands that are not straight photo-realistic foodie gourmands it seems. I want my perfume to smell like a perfume. But I love gourmands.
I am coming around to that also. I used to love foodie perfumes; I’m leaning slightly away right now.
You are looking so beautiful in this video 😍 always beautiful but I just had to say something 💓💓💓
Aw!!! Wow thank you!!! 🙏🏻❤️❤️😍😍
While I will never let a banana pass my lips(I despise them!) I actually enjoy the banana gourmands that you mentioned as well as Bana Banana…go figure! I am anxious to try 1973 Banana Candy.
That is too funny!!!🤣🍌And I can’t wait to hear your thoughts of that new one.
Hi Chris. When you spray your clothes, are you spraying them before or after you put them on? Where do you spray?
I spray after I get dressed on my clothes. The only exception is if I’m wearing something solidly white and the juice is darker. I’ll spray further away and walk into a more diffuse must so as to not discolor my clothes. Otherwise BAM, right on the clothing. It keeps the scent more “pure” by not reacting to skin chemistry. Esp for more freshie fragrances.
Is there a particular cycle that perfumers follow as to when they remake and restock? Like when in the year are we most likely to find things in stock? I'm guessing they restart production the Fall getting ready for Christmas? 🎄🎄
It’s more about supply and demand. I find when they get a lot of play on social media….EDp bigger accounts…then they go out of stock! 😉🤣
I have the elie saab royal, I never noticed a banana vibe before. I’ll have to smell it again 😊
🤣🤣Only in the opening. Sparkly banana peel. 😀
Hi Chris! Which one do you think is more powdery? Bana banana or Chloe plantafolia
Hmmm. They are both up there but probably Bana Banana 🍌
@@ThePerfumeNest thanks. I wore bana banana for the first time yesterday at work and I loved it. I didn't get many compliments but then again I work in an emergency room so I'm not really trying to call attention to myself. But it did last on me my entire 12-hour shift. I definitely enjoyed it.
Hi Chris! Could you list the three frags that you did not feature so I can do some research on my own? Im on the hunt for the best banana!!
Sure! Ylang In Gold, Banana Milk (Ganache), Because I’m Free. 💕
Adding on to the 🍌 fragrance train: HEZ PARFUMS Banana Bread Banshee. You'll be a walking bakery 😎
Ok!! Thank you!!!
Of course I’ve been wanted to try Ambrosia Imperiale because I love AI and have watched her for years.. but it’s so different from anything I’ve tried, not sure what I’d think.. I know the saffron would help tho!
💕❤️❤️So you have tried it??
@@ThePerfumeNest No not yet!! 😩😅 I’m going to order a sample TONIGHT!! 😉😃
@@tammyroxanne. ah ok. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. I have a good idea what you are going to think.
@@ThePerfumeNest OK all ordered!! Lol ..now we wait the 2 weeks till it gets to me! 😅
Damn… banana. Do I want to smell like one?! This is tricky
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
