BANANA REPUBLIC Modern Woman Eau De Parfum (EDP) Womens Fragrance, 30ml Spray

Product Information

I always leave it in the car glove compartment and just in case I forgot to put on a cologne after leaving the house, I use this and it’s really a nice scent.

Most striking is how it serves not only as likely an unwitting precursor to the contemporary "your skin scent" trend (think possibly even along the lines of Replica's Lazy Sunday Morning or perhaps even Les Boy Smells, though those are both presumably far more nuanced for Modern to be so directly compared as I do not think this was initially Modern's intention, yet to me it belongs to it and would likely be considered a dupe if it were still available) and additionally as both a clean, soapy, fruit-laden spritz while dually a sharp feminine-leaning unisex cologne (again, this perfume shockingly has me wondering and keeps me guessing!

Tip: If you are between sizes and you are looking for a more supportive fit, choose the smaller size. The smell is generic and reminds me of cheap soap that I used when I was at school about 50 years ago so, if you don't know scent combinations, be wary on purchasing just on reviews only. Of course it could be great, so don't take my cynicism too seriously but with these notes, it seems like this was created to smell like the day after a Tsunami destroys a village.

Modern truly captures the modern spirit, at least in how I think perfume approaches were emerging at the cusp of 2015 and leading into our sensibilities regarding "modern" fragrances by 2020 standards - attempting to move away from those overly synthetic scents of the 1980s-early 2000s and developing to where perfume is progressing today. The masculine version, Modern Man, blends cold and spicy notes in an aromatic composition created by Irina Burlakova and Vincent Kuczinski of Mane.This might sound weird, but this instantly makes me feel like I'm in a brand new car on a date or in a sexy lounge room at a club. It's kinda like a female scent with a masculine vibe rather than a unisex scent but I could also see men pulling this off.

Banana Republic Modern Man Eau De Toilette 30ml Spray is a premium eau de toilette of Banana Republic brand. This fruity-floral fragrance starts its story with refreshing flavours of Italian Bergamot and Nymphaea Waterlily, along with fruity scents of Blushing Golden Apple and White Peach, continuing with a feminine heart beating in rhythm of the key note - Sun Goddess Rose petals, supported with White Butterfly Cyclamen and Arabian Jasmine. I was born in 1991 and there was a cologne that smelled exactly like this but I can’t remember the name so it’s not really “modern”.

The circular glass bottle that holds the fragrance is adorned with the typical pattern of the brand. Imagine walking outside on a warm fall evening, smelling pungent juniper, sweet drying grass and a the clean scent of a cool stirring breeze.

I see quite a lot of reviews saying it's similar to Dylan Blue, yea abit of it not not close at all, just a vibe. For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. This seems almost as though its a green experiment providing a crisp aldehydic floral that is almost aquatic, likely due to the water lily which to my nose might be the strongest scent beyond the apple and jasmine - I think this note is what elevates it to a different level and keeps us guessing where it falls between perfume ranges.Banana Republic Modern is an eau de parfum designed for the modern woman by Banana Republic that launched in 2014. Banana Republic has launched a new fragrant pair, embodiment of the modern and easy-going style of the house and thus named appropriately Modern Woman and Modern Man.
