Fresh and professional citrus musk
Allow me to preface: I’m not a big fan of clean fragrances. This was a gift from my father, who buys according to his own tastes. Take what I say with a grain of salt because I likely would never purchase this product for myself. Banana Republic’s 90 is, as I mentioned, a clean and fresh smelling fragrance. Bright soapy musk and zingy citrus dominate, somewhere along the lines of tart grapefruit, bergamot, or even lime. However, is no sweetness present. It has a very professional and orderly air to it. In fact, I often wore 90 in school to get myself “in the mood” during testing periods, funnily enough. Therefore, I associate it with test-taking at 6 AM (so, who knows, maybe I would dislike it less if this weren’t the case). I can always have some amount of appreciation for unisex fragrances, so points for that. Regardless, I like to wear fragrances to make myself feel comfortable and to bring some simple pleasures into my daily life. 90 does not do that for me. I feel stiff, sterile, and even a little on-edge wearing this fragrance. Confident, yes, a little more than nothing at all, but I feel like I’m playing a role rather than bringing natural something out of me, almost. It’s a little headache inducing too if I’m being honest. I will say the green tea note does seem to bring down the intensity a bit. The lavender and jasmine are subtle yet softening which also helps make the fragrance a little more bearable to me. I’m a velvety sweet gourmand lover, so feel free to ignore me if fresh laundry musks are your thing! More power to you. Late spring/summer daytime fragrance, perfect for the workplace and perhaps sports as well.
