Banana Republic 78 Green is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Gino Percontino. 78 Green opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Magnolia, Fig, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Banana Republic's 78 Green carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper bargain, especially if you can snag it at a rack store. Expect a super fresh, green tea garden vibe with a zesty citrus kick. It's universally loved for its clean, uplifting scent, though many agree its staying power isn't exactly groundbreaking.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean, and non-offensive nature makes it excellent for the office or casual wear, despite some reports of weak projection. It's too subdued for formal events but would be a nice invigorating scent for lighter sport activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine strolling through a dewy, overgrown garden, post-rain, with the air thick with fresh green leaves and bright mandarin. This opens with a burst of leafy greens and sparkling bergamot, leading to a heart of serene green tea and delicate magnolia, with a hint of sweet fig. It settles into a soft, musky cedar and earthy vetiver, evoking a tranquil, natural feeling.
