Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and inoffensive citrus-aromatic profile, make it ideal for casual wear, the gym, and office environments. However, its understated nature means it's less suited for formal events where a more impactful fragrance is often desired.

About

Banana Republic M opens with a vibrant, juicy burst of citrus, given a unique twist by the subtle sweetness of fig leaf and plum. This refreshing start leads into a heart where aromatic rosemary and sage intertwine with delicate jasmine, adding a touch of herbal sophistication. The scent gently settles into a clean, musky base of cedar and sandalwood, providing a warm and grounding finish.
