Gulf Orchid Banana Split is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Banana Split opens with Orange, Peach, Pineapple, and Banana, settles into a heart of Milk, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Caramel. Gulf Orchid's Banana Split carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper sweet shop riot that'll divide the room. Some will swoon over the candied banana and creamy vanilla, others will pick up on a 'rubbery' note and give it a hard pass. Definitely one to try before you buy.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Its potent sweetness and strong projection make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its fun, fruity gourmand character makes it an excellent choice for casual wear and dates, where its presence can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a full-on fruit basket of peach, juicy pineapple, and bright orange, with a dominant, almost candied banana note up front. This tropical burst melts into a creamy heart of milk, complemented by delicate lily of the valley and jasmine. The base settles into a rich, sweet gourmand treat, with warm caramel, smooth vanilla, and a touch of musk and sandalwood for depth.
