About This Perfume
Banana Republic Black Walnut Legend comes across as zesty citrus with smoky black pepper. It opens with black pepper, Calabrian bergamot and kumquat, moves into cyclamen, frankincense and geranium and settles on black leather, musk and patchouli. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and the office. Released in 2016.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and stays close to the skin.
