About This Perfume
Think cool green ginger with a sharp herbal snap: that is Banana Republic Slate. Key notes are clary sage. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days and the office. Released in 2006.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want a scent other people notice from across the room.
Around $20.
