What does Musa Paradisiaca smell like?

The top notes bring tuberose, banana leaf, French celery and Ivory Coast ginger, giving a fresh, green and lightly spicy start. In the heart, French narcissus and ylang-ylang widen the floral side, and the base of tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris settles into a powdery, creamy and slightly animalic warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick spring and fall, and evening and night-out wear lead. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way. Cristian Cavagna Boa Madre and Meo Fusciuni Odor 93 have a close profile.
