Living on an Island

Bruno Banani scents have been known to surprise me in a pleasant way, so when I saw a tester of his latest release I sprayed it on my wrists not really knowing what to expect from a scent called "Dangerous Woman". The name conjures olfactory impressions of some hard to ignore sexiness in a bottle.
So what could it be like? Some sly silage monster a la "Obsession"? Or perhaps a seductive sex-nymph a la "Agent Provocateur"?
No, none of the above, if this woman is truly dangerous she must be having other skills that make her so; for this scent is very "pretty tropical island in a bottle" like.

Coconut is the first thing that fills my nose, followed by a smooth vanilla and after a while I can smell something sweet but not candy sweet, black currant I guess? I can't really smell any florals. It's all gourmand to my nose, but a very pretty and well behaved gourmand. It's yummy and I don't get a 'sun-lotion' feel from this. It's well done but it demands that you really like coconut in your perfumes because the coconut note is peeping its head out from the rest of the notes....all the time!
Lots of people like coconut notes, the Body Shop is just one example that caters to this demand with their coconut oils etc. So, if you like coconut notes and would like a more refined and elegant version, than this is definitely a must try! It's fun for summer or indeed for anytime you want to feel like you're relaxing on a beach! I am still on the fence about it...but The Boyfriend likes it! Which means it will *miraculously* show up on my vanity! ; )

Silage is: "Baby! Did I spill coconut-milk on you or is your chemistry that delicious!" ;) - Longevity: is impressive for a nut...5+ hours. It's a fun scent! Go, test and smile! : )

Take it with Humor

The other evening, a good friend invited me to visit the QuatschComedyClub with her.
I don’t go out often, and when I do, it’s usually to outdoor festivities like medieval fairs and Christmas markets. So, I immediately thought about which of my fragrances would be most suitable for such an indoor evening. It shouldn’t be too intrusive or overwhelming, and I decided on my current signature scent “Tsarina Intensivo,” which, when applied sparingly, is a clear go-to for me.
Right on time at 7 PM, my friend picked me up from home, and as soon as I got into her car, I noticed something was off. Something smelled...
I discreetly sniffed my clothes, like a sniffer dog searching for that one tiny molecule that reveals where what it’s looking for is located. But nothing!
“Tsarina” clung to me like an intimate veil, and there was nothing else.
The smell had retreated and merged with the scent of the car leather to the point of being unrecognizable. It could no longer be pinpointed.

When we arrived at the theater, it was packed, absolutely packed!
So we carefully pushed our way through the crowd to the bar and ordered 2 soft drinks.
It had been a long time since I had been exposed to such a chaotic mix of scents (I usually avoid cramped spaces with large crowds), and I could hardly escape the flood of swirling fragrances and odors, especially since I tend to be easily overwhelmed. I smelled the cigarette smoke wafting in from outside, the various aromas of beer from bottles and mouths, the paprika spice from the cheese nachos some were eating, the sweet-sticky popcorn, various “run-of-the-mill perfumes” (which I don’t mean negatively, just none stood out particularly) AND the latent smell from the car. There it was again!
The doors to the theater hall opened, and the masses began to move.
We had scored good seats, right in the middle of the hall with a prophylactic safety distance from the stage, to avoid one of us becoming part of the entertainment program.
We hadn’t been seated for a minute when the smell crept over to me again. But this time, I didn’t try to identify the source; instead, I took a closer look at the smell itself: It was subtle, not a classic stinker, sweet, and somehow... yes... how best to describe it...? Spoiled? It smelled a bit like sour or fermented milk, like a mix of overripe bananas and artificial vanilla aroma, creamy and... Then it hit me! It smelled to me like a baby’s vomited breast milk!
Now that I had tried to analyze the smell more closely, I unfortunately couldn’t get it out of my nose. It clung to my perception like a damn monkey! I realized I would have to live with it for the next 2 hours...
But then came the much worse realization: It was emanating from my friend! Since she is not a mother, it had to be her perfume.
What kind of brew could that possibly be?

The intermission brought fresh air and relief. Suddenly, I enjoyed the overwhelming potpourri of people and smells crowding in the foyer. This now seemed like a welcome change.
But I don’t carry my pseudonym here without good reason, because now that I had identified the source of the smell, my curiosity was piqued, and I simply had to know what it was.
So I directly asked my friend about her new perfume. And she proudly replied: “Dangerous Woman by Bruno Banani. Nice, isn’t it?”
“Uh, no, not really...,” I thought and considered how I could cleverly navigate this fat faux pas...
Thanks to Parfumo, a saving response quickly came to mind: “I definitely need to check the fragrance pyramid on Parfumo!”
So, bam, I pulled out my smartphone and quietly read for myself:
Mmmhhh... black currant (don’t smell it!)... coconut milk (yeah, more like it)... gourmand notes (definitely!) and vanilla absolute (for sure, but from the nasty synthetic kind!). Exotic flowers... Does corpse flower count too??

“Dangerous Woman,” well, not really. The only danger here is the smelly penetrance. But honestly, the fragrance pyramid doesn’t sound too bad; it could possibly fit into my taste profile.
Was it due to my friend’s skin chemistry or just my individual perception??
Doesn’t matter, because the fact was that I would have another hour with the little baby smell in my nose after the break.
But whatever. As long as the comedians’ jokes don’t stink as much as this Banani, I’ll take it with humor ;-)

Dangerously Safe

So a man orders some new, sinful underwear online from Bruno Banani for himself, and then he finds a few small extras in his package: an almost overwhelming bundle of flyers and discount codes for all sorts of other online shops, as well as a perfume sample - for HER. A few months later, the next delivery of beautiful shorts arrives, and again a sample - for HER! A wink from fate? After meditative reflection, I still can't identify myself as the target person, so hopefully, it will be for HER.

The bottle is, like many bottles from Bruno Banani, even more crooked than the famous tower of Pisa. The glass is a rich purple, the cap a deep black, and the wide belly band, or better yet, the label, is made of chrome-plated metal. The box takes up this theme in a reverse color gradient. A beautiful bottle, somewhat flashy, but nice to look at and good in the hand. But ultimately rather harmless!

The scent is then no surprise, as the box and the bottle already exude a certain aura - to say nothing of a cloud. It becomes sweet, quite sweet. The actual top note of very sweet, not to say synthetic, currant is only noticeable after a while. Before that, equally sweet, not to say synthetic, vanilla, coconut, and heliotrope notes crowd the nose. Flowers and a pleasant, but unfortunately indefinable light spiciness occasionally make themselves known, but are drowned out again by the next wave of vanilla-coconut-almond.

"Dangerous Woman" is a strong, at times overwhelming scent. The many sweet notes do not complement each other; rather, they compete with one another. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of an artificial quality, which, however, is not always bothersome, just simply too much at once. The sillage is also correspondingly intense, probably too much for classrooms, lecture halls, or offices. Even if one can see hormones at work, be it in the club or afterwards, it is too lavish for my taste. A subtle application of this fragrance will still be difficult. Because at the cost of dominance in head and heart, the base unfortunately falls by the wayside. After a mere four to five hours, the scent runs out of steam, leaving behind an indefinable sweet background noise. No danger for me!

My girlfriend also cannot warm up to this scent, too sweet, too lavish, too synthetic. For HER, no danger of being hooked by this fragrance!

Interesting notes hastily and fleetingly brewed together. Unfortunately, there is no great danger.

Where have you been all this time?

Okay, I admit it, I've been tiptoeing around you for ages. Just because I really can't stand all - and I mean absolutely all - of your sisters and brothers, I simply ignored you. So it was just a mix of chance and boredom that suddenly led me to spray you on the sleeve of my shirt today. That way, I thought, at least I would have sniffed all the scents from Bruno Banani once.

Oh my goodness! What suddenly wafted into my nose? Something sweet-gourmand, delicate and feminine. I was immediately aware of the almond milk, and it seemed to me that I had completely bypassed the top note, just on the clothing. What I smelled, I liked right away. Yes, I could even imagine wearing this scent more often. What enveloped me was pleasantly warm and caressing. Simply feminine, without overwhelming me.

I didn't smell any cheap stuff, no fruity, boring uniformity, but something that simply had to end up irrevocably in my shopping cart. Welcome to the collection! You are the first Bruno that I like!

more seductive than dangerous

I have known this scent since it was released :) at that time, I was going through a pretty tough breakup and got it to soothe my then deeply broken heart at least a little bit. It took some time. At first glance, it was borderline. I went through different stages of "it's too strong for me," and this one almost, but only almost, reached the first stage, which is also the reason why I wore it often and it didn't let me go. I sense the blackcurrant maybe at the beginning, otherwise this scent just smells sweet, like vanilla and coconut, but not only that, it's also hard for me to define here.
It is gourmand, sweet, not necessarily very soft, wants to stand out, wants to be noticed, but does not come across as vulgar, rather sexy. Yes, it wants to seduce, whether you want it or not, at least it has brought me a lot of compliments from the opposite sex, which is why I would wear this scent more for a date or in the company of a partner ;) I find it unsuitable for work, unless you want to turn someone's head with it ;)
At some point, I loved this scent and it was allowed to accompany me for a long time, through the second and this time final breakup with that person, the time afterwards, and into my current relationship, which is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And yet, eventually the largest bottle I repurchased of this scent was also empty. About four months ago, I went through a pretty tough time and my boyfriend did everything to lift me up again and put a smile on my face, so he brought me a small bottle of "dangerous woman." Accordingly, the scent ran out quickly, as I often escaped into this sexy cuddle cloud.
Let's see if and when it can accompany me again, but I am currently leaning towards the body spray.
The EDT lasts on my skin for 9-10 hours, no matter if I take 2 or 4 sprays.
Yes, it is dangerous, but in a nice way.

A little drugstore treasure. Creamy coconut & vanilla in perfect balance. Not a grand masterpiece, but it’s just fun to wear.

I am ABSOLUTELY positively surprised! For gourmand lovers, it's a feast, radiates beautifully, after 4 hours like at the beginning, a linear nose-pleaser.
