Banana in perfume can suggest tropical fruit, ice cream or cake. Mango brings out its fruity side, while vanilla, caramel and biscuit take it closer to dessert.
We have chosen three banana perfumes from the Divinity collection. All three pair it with coconut, but Delizia Tropicale adds honey and butter, The Flavor mango and berries, and Buontalenti vanilla cream and caramel.
Calaj Delizia Tropicale
Delizia Tropicale opens with green banana, mandarin and exotic fruit. Coconut, jasmine and white flowers follow, while honey, butter, vanilla and sandalwood give the scent a creamy richness.
Green banana makes for a fresher fruity opening, while honey and butter emphasise sweetness. Delizia Tropicale may appeal if you enjoy tropical fruit in rich, creamy perfumes.
Neh The Flavor
In The Flavor, banana and coconut appear alongside red berries and blackcurrant. Mango and jasmine add more fruit and flowers, with musk and woody notes rounding out the fragrance.
Banana is part of a blend of tropical fruit and berries here. If fruity scents appeal more than caramel and biscuit, The Flavor is worth trying first.
Profumo di Firenze Buontalenti
Buontalenti combines banana with peach, apricot and red fruit. Raspberry, coconut and vanilla cream suggest fruit ice cream, with caramel, biscuit and toffee in the base.
Of these three perfumes, Buontalenti is the closest to a dessert scent. Banana is part of the fruit and vanilla blend, making it more likely to appeal to lovers of creamy ice cream scents than anyone seeking banana alone.
Tropical fruit or dessert?
Choose The Flavor for tropical fruit and berries. Delizia Tropicale emphasises honey and butter, while Buontalenti brings vanilla cream, caramel and biscuit. All three are fruity, but each has a different kind of sweetness.
Smell them again on skin once the opening has settled. This makes it easier to decide whether you enjoy the banana alongside the notes that follow.
