For Banana Republic Tobacco & Tonka Bean (Eau de Parfum, 2019), expect sweet tobacco with creamy pear and vanilla: anjou pear and mirabelle plum up top, tonka bean and vanilla underneath. Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber (Eau de Parfum, 2019) comes across as sweet cherry candy with warm cedar wood, with black cherry and pink freesia at the start and cedarwood and red amber at the base. Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green (Eau de Parfum, 2017) reads as cool green tea, bergamot and fresh-cut leaves, opening on green leaves and bergamot and drying down to vetiver, musk and cedar.
