warm cocoon

What's the "man's best"? Is it His strong and brave side or the sweet, sexy but also tender and cocooning one?
This scent seems to represent the warmer and more tender man's side without giving up on the sexiest shades.
It's a true cocoon opening with a pepepry note and giving way to a spicy and very warm heart made of cinnamon and cashmere.Finally, the embrace of a sweet but not sweetish vanilla and Depp and involving tonka bean.
It's the perfect fall-winter fragrance to wear in your special occasions as well as every day for its quite good but not heavy sillage. I tested on my feminine skin too and I was conquired by this warm and spicy bouquet, really pleasant and wearable by a woman too for its sweetness.
Partoicular the golden-amber bottle with its unmistakable oblique shape, typical of the Bruno Banani's creations.
The price is affordable, but unfortunately this scent is available only as a 40ml one size, just like its "scented brothers". I'd prefer a bigger size. Anyway, give a chance to this Golden delight!

Not Man's best but an affordable scent for fans of sweet fragrances

When I discovered this fragrance along with its scent pyramid here on Parfumo as a new release, I was quite curious. I own almost all of Banani's products and also a lot of clothing from this brand. When it comes to the price-performance ratio, this brand simply convinces me. Where others sell at inflated prices, you get goods here at fair prices.
As for men's fragrances, most of Banani's offerings are typical drugstore scents, which is what you would expect at this price. Bruno Banani Man could compete with larger brands, while the others are less impressive. However, I don't find that dramatic, as I sometimes wear drugstore products in between. I also think the deodorants that go with the corresponding scents are great and reasonably priced.

I picked up this fragrance untested at Karstadt during my Christmas shopping. Just under 18 euros for 30ml is rather expensive for this brand, as most of them are often given away. Since it is a new release, it will be a bit pricier.
Starting with the concept: A great sweet scent that fits well into the cold season. It is said to be a scent twin of One Million. It does go in that direction, although I see it more towards Halloween by Jesus Del Pozo. I don't see the comparisons to Invictus at all. The smell is very mainstream and reminds me of a cross-section of sweet bestsellers. By the way, this fragrance also has a great commercial, which is very rarely aired.
The bottle looks quite good, and the color of the fragrance matches the scent. Like all Banani's, it is positioned at an angle. I like it, even if it doesn't look very luxurious.
It starts off very fruity and delicious. I really enjoy this fruity wonderful note at the beginning. Very wintry and cozy. This composition may not be very unique, but I like it. I enjoy this mix of sweet, fruity, and slightly spicy. It reminds me of One Million and Halloween. Those who don't like either of the two will probably not like this fragrance. However, it does have its own touch. This apple note comes across as a beautiful fruity note in combination with the other notes, which slightly reminds me of cherry. Very delicious, especially in combination with cinnamon and nutmeg, which are also very present. What is present from start to finish are sweet notes from vanilla and tonka bean. Gentle woody undertones also come through. Great creation, especially in the first two hours. Once the fruity note fades, the fragrance is no longer as special, leaving an ordinary sweet residue.
The performance is in line with the price. It lasts really well for about 2 hours with the sillage. After that, it remains close to the skin for about 2 more hours. With heavier fragrances, there are significantly more options regarding performance.

For me, it's not a fragrance for special occasions, as the performance does not convince. Since I also like to wear fragrance at home just for the sake of it, I consider it a successful purchase. If the performance were better, I would definitely wear it more often.
Of course, it's not for those who expect a high-quality fragrance. Those who are not averse to sweet drugstore scents might enjoy this one.
