06 Black Platinum

by Gino Percontino

Banana Republic 06 Black Platinum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Gino Percontino. 06 Black Platinum opens with Cactus, Lemon, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Oakmoss, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Amber. Banana Republic's 06 Black Platinum carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. A love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, Banana Republic's 06 Black Platinum is a divisive beast that some hail as niche and unique, while others find it simply baffling or just plain bad. Approach with caution, and definitely don't blind buy unless you like a gamble.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its generally weak projection and short longevity make it suitable for office wear where it won't offend. The unique, almost elusive character makes it an intriguing choice for a date, but not for formal events where something more traditionally elegant might be preferred. It's too subdued for active sports.

About

Opens with a peculiar, almost inky freshness, blending zesty lemon and sharp pink pepper with the aquatic greenness of cactus. This unconventional start leads into a heart dominated by lush white florals - jasmine and orange blossom, given depth by earthy oakmoss. The drydown settles into a soft, slightly musky leather accord, backed by warm amber and a touch of patchouli that can lean medicinal or even a bit metallic for some noses.
