Eclaire Banoffi

To me this is really similar to Kayali Maui! A little bit of banana, a little bit of coconut and some solar notes. Praline, whipped cream and caramel not detected by my nose. Still very nice vacay fragrance.

i absolutely adore banana fragrances and this one sounded right up my alley so i was extremely disappointed that i didn’t end up enjoying this one. i was expecting a more creamy banana adjacent to banana pudding or banana ice cream but this is a sickly banana caramel.

My bottle has been macerating for well over 8 months now, I put this on before I went to bed last night and I woke up with the smell still wafting around my ears. The longevity has definitely improved, it just didnt smell like ripe bananas anymore like it did before I fell sleep, it was a faint vanilla when i woke up. After reapplying and wearing it for like 30 minutes my roommate walked in and said the house smelled of "vanilla" and did not say a word about bananas so take that as you will.

I like my perfume edible... Because I'm trying not to... This is my first banana perfume and now I'm a banana girlie. Haven't smelled any other banana perfumes though.

Tried this one on my hand at the store and after 5 washes it is STILL impregnated into my skin. It is very sweet, it smells a lot like banana and dulce de leche—mostly banana—and it smells nothing like the original “Eclaire,” it’s just a really good gourmand and photorealistic perfume. It can be VERY cloying for what it is though but I still can’t help myself but love it

I ticked "weak longevity" because the initial banana note dries down to the exact same of the original, which I own, in less than 30 minutes. The initial spray also has the OG's strong alcoholic opening but I love the banana note in it, it's a shame that it doesn't last at all - if it did it'd be better than the original.

this was made by a perfumer who was on a diet and hasnt had a dessert in a year banana, caramel, TOO MUCH SUGAR. like a banana pudding where you add unnecessary caramel syrup because you dont think its sweet enough with moderate sugar

I really like this, the banana note is artifical but in my opinion it works, when the biscuit and praline come along it's really cozy. Definitely winter, in the summer it would be VERY cloying, but otherwise it's lovely. Not blind-buy safe though.

Immeadiate resell. Smells like crushed ants (as in the insects when you smoosh them for invading your pantry)

Eu ameeeei esse perfume! Vamos começar com o principal: ele é 8 ou 80, então recomendo usar com precaução. Pode causar dores de cabeça em pessoas mais sensíveis e definitivamente não é para todo mundo. Uma a duas borrifadas é o suficiente, não faça como eu e se empolgue a ponto de cheirar tal qual uma confeitaria ambulante (não que eu tenha achado ruim, rs, mas outras pessoas devem ter odiado). A maioria das pessoas relata um cheiro de banana, mas dependendo da sua percepção olfativa e da sua pele, você pode ficar e sentir mais cheiro do doce de leite do que o restante. Foi o meu caso - e talvez justamente por isso tenha amado tanto. Deu vontade de me morder.

this isnt a pantry banana, its a synthetic banana but in a good way - sweet but light and airy, reminds me of the korean banana milk 100%

I smelled the fragrance and immediately thought, "This is what an overly sweet, cloying perfume smells like." It's like eating 400 kg of banoffee in one sitting and then never wanting to even look at banoffee again for the rest of your life. That's exactly the feeling this fragrance gives me.

I wanted a milkshake fun banana scent. I have Banana Foster by The Dua but it's got cinnamon, banana liqueur, caramel liqueur sauce and rum so it's very Christmasy and balsamic warm spicy not a carefree, light tropical banana vanilla scent. I had also sold my Demeter Banana Flambee as it grew too cloying for me with the cognac, and its oily consistency prolly made it more powdery as it macerated. Pistache Eclaire is too vanilla centered not much pistachio there for me (not bad tho) so I was worried that Banoffi would likewise be like Eclaire with a hint of banana in the opening. It's not like that. It's got a fun intense candy-like banana scent the first 30 mins that's reminiscent of the 90s banana ice cream I had as a kid, the one with the smiley face and some chocolate that it tasted and smelled like banana candy. It's not vanilla with some banana. It's a blast of this happy bright rich banana scent like a banana ice cream milkshake. Not heavy not too warm. No chocolate scent here. That's the vibe. The dulce de leche and whipped cream with the biscuit justify the fun ice cream lactonic scent, but truly the banana fruit scent is at the forefront which is what I wanted. The transition to the drydown is a rich banana cream scent like banana pudding and so gradually more decadent, warmer and vanilla-biscuit based but the vibrant banana scent shines through. The drydown shares the Eclaire DNA, the same type of warm honeyed, caramel sweetened-condensed-milk scent of Eclaire with the praline and vanilla in both, plus the dulce de leche acts as the caramel-milk blend found in Eclaire only it's not as warm. It is said that the dulce de leche fragrance note is an ultra-creamy, lactonic, and decadent gourmand note that replicates the rich scent of slow-cooked caramelized milk. True, however there's no burnt or smoky caramel scent here as it's usually the case with caramelized notes and dulce de leche, so I'm really happy bout that. Banoffi at the later drydown finds its main character as it becomes a lighter, more aromatic vanilla scent from the banana traces and the musk which gives it a sweet floral banana essence while retaining its lactonic creamy base and some of its honeyed caramel warm element. To wrap it up, from a fun candied banana ice cream scent it morphs into a warmer cozier caramel banana vanilla-biscuit scent like banana pudding and then it evolves into a tropical honeyed lactonic subtly floral musky skin scent with a banana undertone which is like the banana flower note scent of bbw Bahamas Passionfruit & Banana Flower. It's got that fresh banana starchiness to it within a floral-like aromatic quality, it even takes the scent of honeysuckle at times, so beautiful. That's my best way to describe this intoxicating scent. However this is a more gourmand, decadent, biscuit and ice cream based scent than that bbw mist. Overall I'm very pleased. It's got many facets and I love its stages. It's super gorgeous to me and exactly what I wanted. I don't own other Eclaires. To me this is the one that's truly worth it but I'm open to exploring the Pistache again, I just have too many amazing pistachio scents by The Dua and I have Tiramisu Caramel by Zimaya that's similar to Eclaire and slightly more balsamic. This is really well made. I'm glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews. The bottle makes me feel like a kid again.

Girl shake that laffy taffy! That laffy taffy! Thats all I can think of when I smell this BANANA LAFFY TAFFY! And it’s freakinggg deliciousness!

I really have started to get into the gourmand fragrances recently, but this was a “no” for me. I’m not really getting the creamy biscuity notes that have been mentioned. To me, it’s straight up sickly chemically fake banana candy. It seems quite screechy to my nose too. Hours later (and after a shower) I can still smell this on my arm. It’s not horrible, but not something I want to smell of all day. I will stick to the original Eclaire - this was a banana peel too far for me!

This scent is absolutely scrumptious 🍌🍮🍌. It's so creamy and lasts on my skin all day. It's definitely a dessert -gourmand fragrance. On me it's Banana pie drenched in thick gooey caramel with vanilla ice cream and lots of fluffy whipped 🍦 cream. It's decedent and phenomenal. Way better than Eclair in my opinion. The bottle is absolutely amazing. 💛 This will always be in my rotation. I have fragrances that are way more costly that don't have the quality of this. People say it smells like runtz candy but this perfume is much more creamy and complex.

Me encanta este perfume. Huele a una banana real y madura, dentro de un postre cremoso de banana, con leche, dulce de leche y notas de galletitas y crema. Es empalagoso, pero sigue siendo comible. Lo recomiendo para la noche. La potencia de su salida es solo momentanea, luego se va calmando y deja un aroma mas leve. Con menor estela pero no desaparece si lo buscas oler donde lo hayas aplicado. Es muy delicioso. Y lo que amo de este perfume es que es exactamete lo que dice ser, un banoffee de banana. No le encuentro nada que le quite protagonismo, ya sea alguna nota floral, especiada, ambarada, resinosa o con incienso. Aqui solo encontraras gourmand. Y si te gustan los perfumes que huelen a postre y encima a banana, te lo recomiendo 100%.

Yum I really like this. When opened the box I felt like I was opening up a confectioners candy and found the Willy Wonka golden ticket because the top of box is gold foil and it gives luxury. The top notes are incredible. It smells like banana pudding 🍌 , 🍮 caramel and vanilla 🍦 with whipped cream. The drydown turns into a soft buttery biscuit skin scent and it's lovely and tropical. At first I don't like the smell of the lactonic biscuit note but when it dries down it settles very softly and isn't as lactonic. It's a summertime fragrance. I can see me wearing this to the beach in the early evening to watch the sun go down ☀️. It has creaminess to it but the projection /sillage is not very alluring yet. But I'm not totally disappointed . I really like it. The bottle is absolutely beautiful it's very heavy and very luxurious. If it sits 2 to 3 months it will be spectacular. I'll let it sit and I'll come back and update my review. 💛☀️🍌🍮🍦💛🍮🍌🍦💛☀️🍦🍌🍮🍦 I am also going to make Banoffi dessert as soon as possible. I love anything that has bananas in it. 🍌🍌🍌🍌 This blend creates a rich, decant, warm gourmand scent. Here is what each note contributes to the overall fragrance: The Sweet & Creamy Accords Banana: 🍌Adds a distinct, fruity sweetness that can range from a bright, ripe tropical note to a dense, baked banana bread aroma. Dulce de Leche:🍮 Imparts a deep, milky, and intensely caramelized sugar warmth. Whipped Cream: 🍦Softens the composition with a light, airy, and airy dairy sweetness. The Rich & Nutty Base Praline: 🥜 Brings a toasted, nutty sweetness reminiscent of caramelized pecans or hazelnuts. Tonka Bean: Provides a multifaceted warmth, blending facets of dark vanilla, 🍦almond, and a hint of sweet tobacco. Vanilla: 🍦Anchors the scent with a comforting, creamy, and classic sweet warmth. Musk: Acts as a smooth, powdery "second-skin" foundation that tames the heavy sweetness and helps the fragrance last. Together, they smell like a luxurious, high-end dessert layered over a warm, cozy skin musk.🍮 In perfumery, a biscuit note smells warm, sweet, and comforting, closely resembling baked goods like shortbread,🍪 cookies, or crackers. It typically features🧈 buttery, toasted, and vanillic facets, often created using pyrazines to evoke a distinct aroma of browned flour and caramelized sugar.🍮

This smells just like a banana candy! If that is your thing you will love it. However, it was too sweet smelling for my taste. I could definitely see this being a hit with middle school age girls.

Update: it's a good banana gourmand but it's been months since i had this and there's an underlying screeching note that never went away. something between metallic, rubbery, and straight up plastic.

Simple, but interesting fragrance. I do love the smell of synthetic banana candy, but I hadn't really considered it as an actual fragrance before I tried Elysia Sweet Banana. ESB made me realize that sweet banana could actually be interesting as a layering tool. But whereas ESB is bright, light and surprisingly floral, Banoffi definitely packs a gourmand punch - which was exactly what I wanted for layering purposes. Initial notes of dense, sweet banana dessert. Definitely edible, but still a tad more intriguing than your common gourmand, due to the distinct banana note. Fall and winter. Performance is weirdly good on me, straight out of the box. I sprayed one spray on each under arm, and it was still detectable after 6 hours. However - the drydown is sadly quite flat on me. I love a sweet, soft, cashmeran skin scent, and was really hoping for this to dry down more like that. I'm excited to see how this changes with maceration. Until then, I'll experiment with layering. So far, Al Rehab white musk oil has been great. ESB was messy, and Coconut Leche didn't perform the way I wanted. I'm looking forward to try deeper and more spicy fragrances with this delicious slice of banana pie

Banoffi is a super fun banana banger! Banana, vanilla, and musk sit up front and stay pretty linear throughout the entire journey, which is fine by me. I didn’t get much of the lactonic milk vibes; however, there’s definitely a floral, narcotic ylang-ylang note happening here, which I found pleasing. It’s very sweet. Three sprays and 12 hours later I can still smell it.

got it just coz of the 3 good noses behind it, is good obviously for gourmand lovers drydown after a day in the paper strip smells good lactonic cookie

Rich, delicious banana pie smothered in dulce de leche. Milky and biscuity/almost pastry like. I really enjoy banana fragrances and this is genuinely photorealistic. Not at all sickly like other banana-led fragrances and the dry down lasts well on both skin and clothes. Layers perfectly with other vanilla-y gourmands to add a unique edge to your combo. A genuinely well done banana-led scent!

I really didn’t expect to like this, but it’s very nice. It opens up with banana bread like opening and then becomes sweet tropical cake. I would say you can wear it all year around. Its sweet but because od the tropical aspects it’s suitable for summer as well 😍

Layer this with Sand & Fog Banana Cream and thank me later. This is a so much better than I expected! 10/10

I am currently on a major banana fragrance kick right now after sampling and buying banana rush by JHAG. It has caused an addiction to the banana note that has made me buy banoffi along with 4 other fragrances within the span of 2 months. I would say Banoffi is probably my favourite banana. Banana Rush is a close second if not tied, if only the banana note lasted longer. With banoffi, I can smell the banana note even in the dry down, which is something other banana perfumes can’t seem to accomplish. The fragrance starts out with a burst of banana candy and a juicy sweetness which quickly (within a couple of minutes) transforms into a more ripe banana with some of that eclair/bianco latte in the background. This fragrance is not dense like eclair and is a lot more airy and light. It is so addicting and the performance is pretty good. I’ve been wearing it every day, usually layered with Banana Rush, and get compliments a lot. People won’t think you smell like a walking banana but they will comment that you smell very good. I would say it lasts about 6 hours, but I get nose blind to it now because I wear it so much. I imagine the performance will get better over time like Eclair, but I also get whiffs of it the next day as well. If you want to smell like a banana cream pie or banana dessert, get this!

I've got a friend who loves banana cream pie, so I wanted to order her this for her birthday and decided to get a sample first in case it was terrible. Thankfully it was not! It's actually much more interesting and complex than I was expecting. There's a banana blast on first spray that reminds me of a banana Moon Pie. Then it settles down into something much more like a perfume but distinctly banana-y. I really expected just a cheap, goofy, Laffy-Taffy, crappy body spray fragrance, but this is actually quite nice and niche. Feels like it could be a Juliette Has A Gun fragrance. It's nice!

I love this perfume. Not quite food level gourmand I get a cookie and banana bread note as well as whipped banana cream. I get scent of Ylang-Ylang im assuming is the banana accord. The musk is smooth I guess a year helped smooth it out.

I don’t know what note it is in here but it makes the dry not as good as the initial spray. Maybe it’s the biscuit note, but it smell more dry than sweet for a bit in the dry down. Might go away over time 🤷🏽
