Naked Bänänä: A Tropical-Gourmand Surprise from Esse Strikes The Notes
Esse Strikes The Notes introduces Naked Bänänä, a floral fruity gourmand fragrance for men and women. The new scent launched in 2026 and was composed by perfumer Paolo Cerizza.
The opening blends banana, clove, and grapefruit, while the heart mixes magnolia, vanilla, pepper, peony, and cream. A base of vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, and ambroxan grounds the composition.
Banana takes center stage from the first spray, with grapefruit adding a bright citrus lift and clove bringing a warm, spicy edge. It is a fruity opening that feels more playful than childish, thanks to that aromatic kick.
The heart is where Naked Bänänä turns creamy and floral. Magnolia and peony soften the blend, vanilla and cream build a sweet, almost dessert-like texture, and pepper keeps things from becoming too sugary.
Down in the base, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, and ambroxan give the perfume a woody, earthy foundation. This is the part that makes the fragrance feel grounded, balancing the sweeter top and heart notes.
With its mix of fruity, sweet, floral, woody, spicy, and tropical accords, the composition is a showcase of contrasts. It is a brave blend for anyone who wants something unusual rather than safe.
Early ratings put Naked Bänänä at 3.4 out of 5 based on ten reviews, suggesting it is a perfume that divides opinion. As always with this kind of fragrance, skin chemistry will make the final call.
This perfume will appeal to fans of tropical gourmands, banana lovers, and anyone who enjoys unisex scents with a creamy, woody contrast. It is also a good pick for collectors looking for an original new release.
Naked Bänänä is a daring and playful creation from Esse Strikes The Notes. It combines fruity sweetness with creamy florals and a serious woody base, creating a scent that demands to be worn, not just smelled from a strip.
