Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Banane, was launched 2003. Banana is a tough note to slide into fragrance, but wrapping it up in vanilla and rum and cream is a good direction. If you find CSP fragrances usually too sweet, but like other parts of them, this is a way to go - it veers off from the sweetness with the banana and banana leaves. From the brand - "Renowned for pristine beaches and lush tropical scenery. Walk among the Banana trees, delighting by the gourmand scents of banana fruits combined with the green notes of the banana leaves. An unforgettable fragrance intensely exotic, a greedy fruity cocktail with Vanilla and Rum.
It has notes of banana, whipped cream, orange, banana leaf, clover, vanilla and white rum. CSP Vanille Banane is an eau de toilette, edt.
Comptoir Sud Pacifique is a French line of fragrances that was founded in 1974.
Fragrantica - "Yep, it had me humming The Banana Boat song and smiling! Sunny tropical vacation in a bottle! Realistic banana, green leaf, warm vanilla all swirled together in a scent that will make your mouth water and your feet dance to Calypso. It opens with a splashy banana note that has a tiny accent of green as if from the banana leaf. Soon, the vanilla cuts in, and it transforms to something akin to banana cream pie, or maybe my favorite Banana Daquiri!"
Fragrantica - "The more I wear Vanille Banane, the more I've come to appreciate that obnoxious malty opening, and how it settles into this soft banana split scent with heavy cream oozing down the sides."
Fragrantica - "Though it may be a supporting character, I purchase this because of the unique nature of the banana note. It not really common in fragrance or in high end fragrances at that.
I'm in a tropical mode this summer so this hit the spot for me( along with my coconut fragrances) Glad I got it because it is simply a stand out --Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Banane"
