Sweet, creamy bananas and then dark, nutty chocolate
Might be the first Jousset I enjoy, although it won't be going into my collection. I do love a good chocolate note, but do I want to smell like banana split? Not so much.
I get a very lovely creamy banana note at the start of this fragrance which is not too synthetic to my nose. I will say, though I don't have much experience with banana in fragrances, I do it eat bananas on a daily base and the note was sufficiently realistic to me. I also start getting a strong chocolate note, the same one I've smelled in Dipped in Chocolate. Slightly dark, creamy, syrupy, reminiscent of a Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. There's also a nuttiness that can be found in this fragrance although I don't get from where it's coming since no nuts are listed in the notes. As it dries down, the chocolate becomes the main star while the banana note disappeared after the 10 minutes mark. It's pretty linear after that: dark chocolate, nuttiness and a hint of creaminess. I didn't get any vanilla, althoguh the fragrance was on the fresher side and not too heavy and thick.
It's probably one of the more realistic Jousset I've smelled up until now and even though I found it pretty realistic and not synthetic (compared to the others I've tried up until now), I don't think I'd like to smell this on myself. I definitely see it as an ambiance scent in a candle, but for me? Nah, I'm good. On to the next!
