Classic Banana Republic for women and men

i find this very strong at first spray and not pleasent. harsh and pungeant. as it dried it did get better. it is an odd citrusy scent, it smells as if pine needles have been thrown into the mix. could be unisex, maybe better for a man then for me. i don't think i'll be wearing this one too much.

First off let me say I love this scent but it was not love at first sniff for me. I actually bought this just out of curiosity one day from Marshall's. I had seen it several times and wanted to treat myself to something new so I said what the hay. At first I couldn't figure out what it smelled of because I had another scent on the day I bought and tested it. I tried it a second time and still couldn't figure out if I liked it. Like another reviewer mentioned this grew on me. Every time I sprayed to test it I started to dig it. I've been wearing it off and on from then till now and have just decided it's my signature just on love of the scent alone. I do think sometimes the lasting power is not as great as I would like but now I'm not so sure since sometimes when I feel I don't smell it I'll get a compliment. Love it!!

Edit: I never said what this smells of. Ok, so to me it just smells clean but not in the harsh nose burning way. I believe the ginger is what softens it a bit. Don't get me wrong, the first initial spray is very crisp almost like cold mountain air to me but then it settles and smells of clean linens with ginger lingering in the background and a bit of sweet musk on my female skin. I like it very much, so much that at times I just grab the bottle and sniff it. The bottle is lovely as well. Very simple and minimal but classy and chic.

this really has a great fresh citrusy vibe going and the smell is amazing but I wish it would last longer

very good scent for summer day/night time in hot places.like it alot.
my rank 4/5.

One of my favorite all time perfumes. Very clean and love the citrus notes. Just wish it were a little longer lasting!

Love it...smells terrific!

I agree that this is the weakest from Banana Republic.
Simply mediocre.

A very average, boring, uninspiring, "clean" green floral.

Rather poor sillage and lasting power.
Definitely a discreet scent.

To my nose it's all about green honeysuckle, and not so much about citruses.

Next, please!

Had this as my signature fragrance for ages, and is still one of my top favorites. A perfect crisp, upbeat scent that isn't too harsh - ideal for everyday wear. On my skin, I don't find any of the notes overpower the other; it just creates a lovely air of "clean".

If you have some B-R perfumes, don't try this one, I couldn't find any interesting thing distinguished to other perfumes from the house.
Just that leafy sweet biting smell with some sweet citric opening.
Actually, the bottle says everything: I'm not what you expect!
But if you want a pure and neat perfume rejecting all impurities and if you haven't tried any B-R perfume yet, it can be a good choice but for the price I prefer Cordovan.

ok this is a unisex for sure , leaning towards the masculine side! In the opening you get a hit of manderine and a big whif of the green notes. To me they smell like fresh pine! thats what makes this more of a masculine smell. Once it gets to the heart the pine note fades a little bit and the florals come up making this frag. smooth. thats all i get till the end. It may soun boring but its not . this frag. will grow on you . trust me. give it some time.

Cannot agree more with gypsy parfumista. This is perfectly balanced between masculinity and femininity. Classic masculine lavender in the middle notes is balanced with soft, slightly feminine musky drydown. The whole thing begins with sweet-bittery lemon notes. It's perfect casual scent, ideal for lazy, hot summer day. My girlfriend likes to use this scent as much as I do.

This was available in a two bottle set, each one a 50ml EDT spray (one for you and one for "whomever"...I am guessing!) at a discount retailer for 20 US dollars, and I said "eeh, it is probably just another clean aquatic scent..."!!

*kicks self, hard*

I must stop doing that! This sounds like the perfect scent for someone who is neither too masculine or too feminine! I will have to hunt it down...again!

NB: Never trust the mens/womens placement of perfumes in those places either...most of the SAs could care less! This was in the mens section...

This scent is pure and amazing. Love it. Perfect for when you just want something easy and nice to wear. I especially like wearing this one when it rains. The smell of rain really a,ps up the honeysuckle and citrus. A perfect 10
