Banoffee Gingerbread Cookie

Banoffee Gingerbread Cookie is a limited-edition gourmand that mixes banoffee pie with a gingerbread biscuit. The maker describes a strong, creamy caramel toffee and banana at first spray, with the warmth of ginger underneath, wrapped in sugary vanilla, then deeper and less sweet benzoin and woods as it settles. The top is cream, biscuit, sugar and coconut. The heart is where the idea lives: banana and green banana with ginger, caramel and maple, and a little sweet orange. The base is toffee and vanilla over cinnamon, benzoin, amber, tonka, cedar and oak. Buyers who have used it call it edible, sweet and toffee-like, a true gourmand for grown-ups rather than a nursery sweet. The maker gives no performance figures for it, only a statement that every perfume in the range contains some synthetic ingredients to boost strength and longevity. It is a cold-weather, comfort scent and suits relaxed casual wear. If you already enjoy banana in perfume it is the obvious reason to try it; if banana tends to read as candy to you, the ginger and benzoin are meant to dry it down, though that is the maker's intent rather than a wearer report. Because it is limited, there is no guarantee it will stay on sale. It is made by hand by Juliet Rose.
