  1. I stumbled upon this by chance at a street stall and it was a total hit: if you’re obsessed with sweet scents and love the smell of bananas, this is your perfume. It smells incredible, but it’s already a pain to find. The scent stays identical from start to finish—’sweet banana’—but it only lasts a few hours on skin and clothes.

  2. Love at first sniff, I absolutely adore it. Smells like banana gum, nothing heavy. Great longevity despite being a mist, what a shame it was only a limited edition.

  3. This green fruity scent has become my summer staple. Longevity is top-notch with a moderate sillage. It lasts through my workday without bothering anyone. Highly recommended.

  4. I was gifted this body mist and it was more pleasant than I expected. I never imagined I’d like the banana note, but I have to say, I love it for the heat. It doesn’t have a crazy trail, but for a spray, it’s perfect and sticks to my skin all day. A definite yes for daily use on hot days.

  5. I picked this up on Vinted and absolutely love it, especially since blind buys rarely work out for me. The moment I opened it, my head almost exploded because it smells intensely like By The Fireplaces, my favorite. I prefer this over the original because it’s sweeter and less smoky. The longevity and sillage are a bit low, but for the price, it’s a miracle and it doesn’t give me nausea like other dupes do.

  6. 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 before 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 like). Upon opening it, my head almost exploded because it really reminds me of that perfume. I was obsessed 😂🤩 I like it even more because it’s sweeter and less smoky. That said, it has poor longevity and very low sillage. But honestly, for the price, it’s not bad at all… The scent is wonderful. I don’t notice that harsh alcohol hit other perfumes have, and it’s quite sweet (but not overwhelming or nauseating) and special. I’ve really enjoyed it, it’s very pleasant ☺️

  7. At first, the alcohol hits hard, but then it smells like banana gummies—very sweet without being cloying. I love it, although it barely lasts on my skin 🙁

  8. The alcohol is very strong at first, have anyone heard of banana candies? The smell is very similar to a candy or banana gummies. I love it, although the longevity on my skin is super scarce 🙁 It’s a sweet fragrance but not cloying.

    These body mists have a lot of alcohol and that’s the first thing you notice, but then the banana 🍌 screams loud and clear and it’s the only thing I perceive: sweet banana, like a roasted banana candy. Longevity is low, about 3 hours like most mists.

    I searched everywhere for it, but I’m disappointed because it doesn’t smell like sweet banana; instead, it’s a very heavy, dense banana. Plus, the sillage isn’t great.

  11. tamicatss

    I searched everywhere for it and was disappointed that it doesn’t smell like banana candies, but rather a quite heavy banana ): still, it doesn’t have good sillage.

  12. It’s a super sweet and youthful fragrance 100%, starts with an alcohol 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, claims to be a mist but sets like a good 250ml lotion at a great price.
