For Freesia Fans

I admit that I had no idea what to expect from this one but I was pleasantly surprised by Bruno Banani "Woman".

On my skin the freesia is the first and most powerful note (I love freesia, so that is always a good thing) it's not a 'slap-you-in-the-face' note, but rather a fresh and light freesia that is quickly teamed up with water-lily (which adds a 'water fresh' vibe) then vanilla, musk and in the drydowm a faint orange note help make this a very pretty and easy to wear floral with a fresh character.

I got this for a steal and I must say that all-in-all it's a very well blended scent. I find that most of the time when I am surprised by a "cost effective" scent, the "nose" behind its creation explains it al. Thierry Wasser has made some real beauties and he has clearly tried to make a good value/price scent.

A fun & affordable scent for all round wear and perfect for spring / summer. It's more fresh-floral than sweet and is a very pretty & happy scent. Let it settle after you spray it because it needs a bit of time to unfold.

Silage is: "pretty fresh florals that are amplified by a spray on your clothes" - longevity is good with on me 5+ hours.

A must sniff for people who would like to sample an affordable freesia-fresh based scent in a modern bottle. Enjoy! : )

NB

Dear fellow Perfumistas, this is my first review in 2013....I would like to wish you all a wonderful 2013! Filled with happiness, health & prosperity....AND...May every scent that is a bargain be loved by your chemistry and please your olfactory sense into a smile! ; ) x.x.x

Too musky and floral for me

So I picked up a perfume pen of this for 3 euro's, very cheap. I figured it was perfect for taking it on the plane with me as it's more of a balm and it doesn't come in a glass bottle.

Unfortunately I'm not crazy about the scent. The musk overpowers from the moment I apply it. It's quite strong, it almost chokes me out when I wear it. I can also smell the lily-of-the-valley, which is a note I tend to dislike. I get no peach, vanilla, orange or water lily. I top it with other scents now to tone the lily-of-the-valley and the musk down, I have found citrus scents work well. Sillage is okay, it stays pretty close to the skin. Longevity is disappointing, I get no more than 3 hours of wear of this. This worn on its own is barely a like for me though.

Easy to wear

A pale pink sale shaped bottle , a very feminine , clean but also warm bouquet, a sense of cleanless: this is Bruno Banani. An easy to wear perfume perfect as every day scent, in the free time as well as at the office for its light and discrete sillage.
You can perceive waterlily and freesia soft notes made warmer by a vanilla touch at the base. A vanilla not too sweet or sweetish, not oriental or gourmand, but only suggested and good balanced.
The longevity isn't so good , the sillage maybe is a little weak, but you can spray this scent in summer too for its lightness. Just the perfect "casual " scent for every day.
The perfume is available as one 40ml size and the price is affordable.

Diffuse lights, cotton candy in the air

When the scent came out, it was for me and my girlfriends in a sheer
unattainable league. Unreachable, because it simply did not exist in our country. And our pocket money was, if available, so scarce that we divided ourselves in such a way that even a fragrance for 10, 12 euros was organized only on special occasions.

We all know the magazine ads for the perfume, you I didn't know the smell for years. It was the first time he met me after I moved to another federal state when a friend called this incredibly fragrant bottle her own. The bottle of matt-recycling paper magazines!

Like me, my girlfriend had already moved into her own apartment when I was a minor and lived a life that seemed very privileged to me at the time due to a much better financial situation. I loved using that smell on her. It was my first step towards the scent of the mainstream, I had previously only possessed Yves Rocher scents.

For my 18th birthday I received a voucher for a fairly modest amount for the turquoise fragrance shop, but I felt like a queen. And that scent was one of those that was allowed to come with me.

It was winter, and I never forget that moment. I sprayed this perfume on my scarf in front of the store, closed my eyes and only noticed the glow of the pedestrian zones and the smell of cotton candy through my eyelids. To this day I see this memory in front of me when I smell this scent.

Interestingly, this scent was also omnipresent in our discos, which were moving in the black scene. So I merged with the general cloud of scent around me, didn't stand out and was part of a group that smelled like me.

It took me a while to buy another bottle. I felt too old in my early 20s, too grown-up for this teen scent in an ugly bottle. When I could afford it, I preferred the fragrance of the noble brand rather than the drugstore water. But at some point it was there, the memory. The memory of a fragrance that brought me into the middle, into the mainstream, to which I never wanted to belong. Two souls lived in my chest when I didn't want to attract attention, but please didn't want to be like the others.

It may have been two or three years ago, when I dragged home another bottle with the unattractive shape. And what can I say? At the rate I've been using it so far, it will be used up in 2045.

The fragrance is tame, well-behaved and almost conservative. He's as confident as I was when I was 18 - I had a big mouth, but inside I was afraid to come out of myself. I didn't want to attract attention. Now the fragrance still smells quite intrusive when overdosed. What many young people do. Since I finished university, I no longer travel by bus - which is why I could no longer find the scent in the wild. Whereby, at the last party a friend wore it, whereby I am clearly more content with this than with Alien!

I understand when some people don't like this scent. He is still not my first choice, although I still like him. Would I like him without those memories? Maybe not. It's monotonous, has no development and I can't smell anything out. Maybe my nose isn't trained for it either. I perceive a slightly artificial note that discourages me from wearing the scent in the office. A booming Oriental? No problem! But this one?

I'm ambivalent and think the last bottle lives with me. But I love remembering. The bottle is a fluid reminder of times when things weren't easy, but I was on my way to finding myself. If I had to say what I remember most this year, it was this perfume, too.

It's part of me, like everything in my past. But if he will become part of my future, I dare to doubt easily..... I wouldn't bet on it, though. :)

My first great love, which lasts for over half of my life :)

I smelled Bruno Banani at the age of 12 on a girlfriend at that time and was blown away. It was the first fragrance I fell in love with and also the first one I owned. For me, this fragrance stands out from the crowd, when you smell it, you immediately know who you have before you. I don't smell out any single scent, but I suspect that the ivy in combination with the other scents here is responsible for this positive, angular and pointed note. It is difficult to describe this fragrance.
Through Parfumo I got to know the big sister rush of Gucci. I like him, but Bruno Banani suits my taste more.
While Gucci rush is richer, racier, shriller and more seasoned,
Is b. woman the small, romantic, coquettish and lovely younger sister, but who is at least as beautiful.
While Gucci Rush screams "heeey, here I am" and unfortunately gives me a headache after just two squirts, the previously mentioned sister with her smile and her manner "subtle", but all the more enduringly captivates me, with skin and hair...irrevocably...you always return to her, even if you think you've had enough of her for now...it's only for the moment, because you know you'll come back. She has accompanied you in so many situations, no matter in which situation, in which season, a life completely without her is not possible, because she has shaped your perfume heart...
*clear your throat* enough with the jabbering ;) For me it's a great evergreen with that certain something. It lasts 8-9 hours on my skin and not many people do that for me :) I could dress myself in this fragrance from head to toe :) I got the Edt, shower gel and body splash from my sweetheart half an hour ago and I am looking forward to being carried by this fragrance :)
