Neon yellow banana neon sign.
Peanut butter strudel as a gateway to artificial worlds I never wanted to visit.
Blinded by Banana.

I've never really educated myself about the notes. But before training, it always goes on! :-)

Bananas are interesting too; they provide good energy - but in fragrances... hmm

What will they think of next... But I definitely don't want to smell like bright neon bananas.

Since we're already here, let's at least try the strudel!

Sometimes I find banana funny - although usually not very authentic, yes. I like the Cocoyster Bananita and Kai Portens Beach Klub.

@ElAttarine
You're right about the Kai Porten Beach Club, but to me, it feels more like a grilled, smoky banana association without the original intention of actually capturing the banana scent. I need to try the Bananita. Thanks!

Excerpt from the Banana Review:
"Yellow. Loud. Artificial art. -
The attempt to create a kind of banana bread in fragrance form can officially be considered a failure."
The banana molecule is a stubborn opponent, one that not only perfumers have struggled with but also yogurt producers, protein powder manufacturers, beverage syrup creators, etc.
While, for example, "strawberry flavor can be more strawberry-like than strawberries," the artificial banana is usually just a shadow of itself. (I would honestly appreciate any of you who can provide counterexamples that could shake my banana worldview.)
But here, the banana is no shadow. On the contrary. It shines. Too brightly. It squeaks too. Of course, too loudly. It has hints of peanut butter that unnecessarily emphasize its poolside snack sweetness. For me, this is cruel.

The nice person from Parfumo who kindly gave me the sample likes it. For whatever reason. But I bet a bunch of bananas that a (non-stuffed) animal, which primarily eats bananas due to its habitat, would turn its head away in shock when smelling this.
