Beautiful name, less beautiful content.

Are there really people who want to smell like banana?
I can understand strawberry, pineapple, raspberry, or bergamot, but banana?
Although banana milkshake does smell kind of nice, but do you even get banana here?

Yes, right in the opening there is a hefty creamy banana that smells quite 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 have never smelled anything like this before.

In the dry down, coconut is added to the banana and cream.
However, the coconut also smells quite synthetic, everything here just smells of low quality.
It does become creamier and slightly more pleasant, but that takes time and not everyone wants to wait half an hour or longer.
I want a fragrance that smells great right away, and that's why I'm glad I tested it (thanks to Peppermint), but to buy a bottle of it? Never.

For such a synthetic bomb, it's rather mid-range.
Definitely unisex, with a tendency towards the feminine (W65%/35%M).

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