Buttery, but not awful
It starts off smelling like smashed bananas and melted butter, and dries down smelling like... smashed bananas and melted butter. That buttery note sticks around until the absolute end, and clings to clothes too.
I don't think this is terrible. In fact, I enjoy that buttery "popcorn" smell that some gourmands have, and I LOVE bananas and how they smell. However, Banana Bliss is nothing out of this world either. I think this would need to be layered with other gourmand banana products to bring out the most in this.
I have a banana shower gel from Lush (the one with the Minions on it), and a banana milkshake body butter from a local indie company that I use with this to amp it up a little.
The bottle is a little over the top, but it's cute! The sprayer works nicely too.
Overall, I think that if you're looking for a proper banana cream or banana bread fragrance, this might not fully scratch that itch. I like it a lot though, and think it will be perfect for talking a walk on a chilly day when the leaves start to change in a month or two (where I live, at least).

Nice name, less nice content.
Are there really people who want to smell like banana? I can understand strawberry, pineapple, raspberry or bergamot, but banana?
Banana milkshake smells nice now, but do you really get banana here?
Yes, there's plenty of creamy banana right in the opening, which smells pretty synthetic.
Somehow I also smell something that reminds me of cake batter, but also totally synthetic.
Creamy, fruity, synthetic, not for lovers of high-quality fragrances, but still somehow unique, I've never smelled anything like this before.

In the DD, coconut is added to the banana and cream.
However, the coconut also smells quite synthetic, everything here simply smells inferior in terms of quality.
It does become creamier and slightly more pleasant, but it takes time and not everyone wants to wait half an hour or longer.
I want a fragrance that smells great straight away and that's why I'm glad to have tested it (thanks to Peppermint), but buying a bottle of it? never.

H/S for such a synthetic bomb rather good midfield.
Definitely unisex, with a tendency towards feminine (W65%/35%M).

My conclusion: unique but cheap is the best way to describe Banana Bliss.
Cheap not in terms of price, but in terms of quality.
Simply far too synthetic, a typical headache candidate that you would probably never wear if you have a good collection.
Better keep your hands off it and get something else, just a tip.

Borderline
Synthetic banana, not like in a banana split cup but like a scented candle...hard to describe, such a lush, exaggeratedly satisfying scent, coconut has hidden behind the banana...oh I don't know somehow the whole thing has developed such an unpleasant burnt note. Goes in the direction of Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee only without this "maggot note" artificial...Apart from that, the bottle is very, very unwieldy, I find the lid with the Amarena cherry borderline. H/ S thank god very low, of course a pity for people who like this kind of fragrance. For me, this "cup" was allowed to move on very quickly. The association with Donkeykong, the whole thing was also very space-consuming due to the design of the bottle.
