Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper sweet shop banana gourmand, but don't expect realism. Some find it a delight from the off, others need to let it macerate, and for a few, it's just a synthetic mess. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with a surprising amount of debate around banana candy vs. actual banoffee pie.
This discontinued Penhaligon's creation is a sweet, cosy gourmand that's mourned by its loyal fans for its comforting cotton candy and spicy charm, though some find it a bit too fleeting and not entirely unique.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its strong, sweet gourmand profile and impressive longevity, Eclaire Banoffi isn't one for the office or formal events. It's too bold for those settings. However, it's perfect for casual outings or a fun date night where its comforting, dessert-like aroma can shine without overwhelming.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet gourmand profile and reported moderate sillage make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual outings. It's too playful and potentially distracting for office wear and not a good fit for formal events or sport, where something fresher or more sophisticated would be preferred.
