Banana Republic Classic By Banana Republic Eau De Parfum Spray 4.2 Oz Men

The word perfume is a technical word, this is supposed to have a very high concentration of fragrance.People here in the US have the misconception that perfume is for women, and cologne is for men. Nothing further from the truth, those are categories for fragrance.Perfume is supposed to have a 20 to 30 concentration and last up to 8 hours. This does not do that.This is not even Eau de Parfum (15 to 20 concentration, lasts up to 5 hours)My guess is that this is eau de cologne (2-5 concentration) or eau de fraiche (1-3 concentration) because it barely lasts 2 hours.The scent is delicious, though: fresh, clean, citric, natural, and cozy. To fall in love with.

It was a gift for my granddaughter, she loves it!

One of my favorites cologne

Clean and fresh! I consider this a fragrance for both men and women,,,,.I have always used CLASSIC and will always..My favorite especially in the heat of summer.just like coming out of a shower!

Edit - the first part of this review is raving - read the additional note at the bottom for what happens an hour into wearing this.I blind bought this - didnt know what to expect beyond being told its a nice clean scent, which is my preference. Initial spray - it was really bright - REALLY bright - I almost thought hmmm, I may end up giving this away. I appreciate a crisp, clean fragrance but I dont want it to jolt me or anyone around me. Dry down brought a much calmer, smoother, more relaxed presentation of this scent. Initial impression was wow citrus and spice and soap bomb (not necessarily unpleasant but a bit too bold for my taste). A few minutes later, its a lighter, fresher, more settled experience. At first after dry down, I thought this couldve been out of the CK line (judge me if you want but I appreciate most CK frags). The clean, the citrus, the spices when all is said and done - mingle effortlessly and lightly - love the smell of this on my skin. I can also see exactly how this is unisex. It will vibe with your own scent once it settles - which is when it will carry a masculine or feminine tone. It smelled a touch more masculine when I first sprayed it - but on my skin, its definitely more feminine or at the very least, safely unisex. The bottle is lovely as well.EDITED TO ADD: okay so Ive been wearing it for a few hours and heres a dealbreaker for me purchasing this again - it vanished. One hour in, I couldnt smell it anymore - figured well, I went a little light so Ill do better after my shower. Showered - sprayed my neck on each side, pretty direct hits, sprayed my wrist and rubbed it against my other wrist and sprayed once on the front of my hoodie. An hour passed and its like I applied nothing at all. Wrist pressed straight to my nose - nothing - not even a hint of scent. Im not noseblind, Ive never smelled this fragrance until this afternoon. I dont know what kind of magic potion this is but Ive never experienced any perfume/cologne pull a disappearing act this quickly. I still gave 4 stars because its a generous amount in the bottle and you can reapply left and right if youre into that. But. Its not doable for me to have that over the top initial bombardment throughout my day - not cool for the people around me. Too bad - thought this would be an ongoing purchase.

The product came as described. I keep this fragrance in stock; I used to buy it from the store. Purchasing this online is more convenient. It's a great scent.
