L'Artisan Parfumeur Bana Banana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Céline Ellena. Bana Banana opens with Mace, Violet Leaf, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Banana Flower, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Tonka Bean. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Bana Banana carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive, unique, and fleeting - Bana Banana offers a whimsical opening that sadly doesn't stick around. Don't go in expecting a gourmand banana bonanza, but rather a powdery, sophisticated floral with a brief fruity cameo.

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.

About

Bana Banana bursts open with a bright, green banana accord, quickly joined by a delicate violet leaf and a dash of pepper, creating an unusual fruity-floral blend. This ephemeral fruitiness soon settles into a powdery heart of iris and jasmine, evoking a sophisticated, almost vintage cosmetic feel. The drydown reveals a soft, warm base of musk, amber, and tonka bean, leaving a comforting and slightly sweet trail that lingers close to the skin.
