About This Perfume
Banana Republic Modern Man comes across as cool grapefruit mist over musky, woody tang. It opens with aquatic notes, grapefruit and juniper, moves into Japanese radish, tamarind and white cyclamen and settles on frankincense, musk and patchouli. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2014.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something spicy and confident for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $19.
