Banana Republic 2020 EDP
Metal Rain
Banana Republic Metal Rain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Metal Rain opens with Blackcurrant, Lemon, Violet Leaf, and Basil, settles into a heart of Lavender, Galbanum, Green Tea, and Ozonic Notes, and dries down to a base of Ambrocenide (Symrise), Musk, Sandalwood, and Cashmeran. Banana Republic's Metal Rain carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
This one's a divisive freshie. Some will rave about its atmospheric, metallic-ozonic vibe for a steal of a price, calling it a great SMW alternative. Others will dismiss it as a fleeting scent that barely lasts an hour. A try-before-you-buy is essential.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and often subtle profile makes it a perfect fit for office and casual wear, especially in warmer weather. However, its moderate performance and lack of intensity mean it's less suited for dates or formal events where greater impact is desired, though some find it great for a bar or dinner date.
