I've never been a fan of artificial banana scents. They always seem to smell weirdly plastic to my nose. Bananas Foster is sooo not that! This is the most authentic, delectable, sweet, and amazing banana scent I've ever smelled. I've never had bananas foster, but when I make homemade banana bread I put my ripe bananas into the oven inside their peels to caramelize the fruit. That is this banana. I also smell a bit of warm spices, and a little hint of butteriness. I've loved this so much I've had a difficult time blowing it out. The scent is easily an 8 in my house, the throw a solid 7.5. This will also be a lovely fall transitional scent, and I highly recommend it!
