“green-tea in a bottle”
Banana Republic is known in the first place (on Parfumo) for its good fragrances that are extremely inexpensive. Recently I came across the brand and hastily acquired the "78 - Vintage Green" blind. The "78 - Vintage Green" is called here "the summer scent" and this I would like to revise times accurately.
The composition here is completely simple and dewy, yet penetrating and ethereal. "So more than just solid or mild."
The scent starts with an overdose of bergamot, which sniffs very realistically here, but is also a slight acidity that seems very soft and rounded, but in no way ghastly or sultry/unpleasant. Also, the tea note joins in, to be more specific the "green tea note." The tea note is subtle and somehow approachable, but this is in no way comparable to an iced tea note. Finally, this composition is missing the green leaves or the green note in this fragrance, which is not grassy or pungent, it is rather perfectly blended in and seems soft, pleasant and subtle. All in all, quite a solid fragrance that has no gripes. Theoretically, the "78 - Vintage Green" is comparable to an eau de cologne, because it is just based on the bergamot, but has a better longevity than an eau de cologne.
A statement from my friend, "This must be worn by a person who wears vintage clothes, but in brown and also drinks green tea. 9,5/10"
The longevity surprised me with this scent, because we're talking 8+ hours and the sillage is really good.
My recommendation is, "buy it in the summer and wear it, it will probably last longer and be stronger". A beast he could be for me in the summer."
The bottle is also sleek and massive (heavy too), a metal cap, a good sprayer and also most importantly fabulous packaging, although it sounds very tempting, the price is even more tempting. It is extremely inexpensive, which is also a plus point in my eyes. Incidentally, the fragrance is as already mentioned, a summer fragrance, yet it is also wearable in the spring. Almost already as a signature fragrance designable. Then I conclude the review with the question. Currently available or discontinued? Sadly discontinued, I’m just kidding. It is still available and it’s an absolute recommendation for the summer.
