Banana Republic icon line buying guide

[@brucetec6597]

I have all 17 and they are all great. Some a feminine but still well done. I also have Cordovan, Cordovan Vintage, and Slate. Im looking for Black Walnut but its not available in my area. Black Walnut Legend is everywhere but I have to many Adventus clones and the real bottle with the flankers.

[@fragrancefan]

I love black walnut Legend LOL what do you think about tuberose overdose and velvet pomegranate

[@frankiev-tech4630]

If you find A&M London Woodsmoke Cedarwood & Tonka EDT 3.4fl oz! It's freak'n amazing! Just bought it yesterday at Burlington's for $9.99! Super nice! Barbershop style/nostalgic/sophisticated smell! My wife loves it on me! Love to hear your take! I think you'll love it! Not much reviews on it! Great review my man!!!

[@fragrancefan]

I smelled it a few times and almost got it because it is a nice one

[@frankiev-tech4630]

​​@@fragrancefanyeah man! It was a surprise to me! I wasn't expecting it to smell that good! I blind bought it just because of the notes and price. Smells real unique!

[@junkies1111]

I have 7 banana republic icon fragrances. They are bangers for $20...

[@fragrancefan]

That is why I keep buying them LOL

[@DamnScents]

“Garnish compliments”had me rolling bro!

[@fragrancefan]

it's true lol

[@DamnScents]

@ garner sir garnish is what’s on side a boujie plate lol

[@fragrancefan]

@DamnScents garnish just means to decorate something sir for example you can garnish a house with Christmas decorations or it can also mean to compliment something like to add a little something to a meal. It's used for food a lot

[@DamnScents]

@ lol my point exactly so how did they garnish compliments?

[@fragrancefan]

@DamnScents by decorating me with their kind words 🤣🤣

[@vanceneal1701]

Good review! Need to get TTB,I had metal rain,it's good high heat great or any time warm weather,yes it'll get compliments I've received indirect ones like that's smells good as you walk thru people,or something smells good etc. GOD BLESS.

[@fragrancefan]

Hey my brother yeah I figured this was a compliment dna. I didn't know that you had some of these LOL God bless

[@richg7078]

Hey there Dustin!! Another fine review! And because of you, I've acquired several bottles from the line, I love each and every one of them actually!!! Not beast performers but awesome sense. And for $20 it's a goodbye. In my opinion!! I'm missing about two or three of the line. Pure White, linen vetiver, and black platinum, but as soon as they pop up I plan on getting them, again because of you. I acquired the line and I totally agree with you. Totally agree with you. I think they're awesome!! Love your channel! Keep up your great work brother!! And God bless!!

[@fragrancefan]

That is so awesome my brother and I'm so glad that I could be helpful in this little Hobby. And I totally believe that a fragrance doesn't have to be a beast performer if it can make up for it and quality and just overall a good scent profile and I think these ones definitely do that

[@richg7078]

@@fragrancefan I totally agree with you My brother not every cent has to be a beast in the last 12 plus hours. I'm definitely a quality over quantity. Kind of guy myself, also, I picked up two from Burlington. Burlington, I don't know if you've heard of the guess originals. There's three of them in the line number. One number two and number three. I got two and three searching for number one, love your channel brother! Keep up your great work!! God bless

[@richg7078]

I used to be until I started watching your channel so I'm definitely more into the quality of a scent versus how long it lasts and if it's a beast projector, I myself wear fragrances just for me. I love the experience I get from it and I don't care about compliments, I'm engaged so I'm not out looking for a girl LOL again God bless brother!!

[@richg7078]

Also one last thing. Dustin, I wouldn't mind chatting with you about fragrances. Fragrances is there a way we can get in touch? If that's okay with you? Of course I know you're a busy guy with the channel and your life, just let me know

[@aquienpuedainteresar4188]

Great rundown on the icon line. I i have most of the ones you featured but to be honest I'm lukewarm to them, except neroli woods, I love anything neroli. I'm still going to grab them all.

[@fragrancefan]

Well at least you're honest. And I never grabbed that one because I only see it in the 6.7 oz bottle or something like that. It's massive in size

[@eaudecheap]

Dude you beat me to it! 😂 Great stuff as usual! And man the thumbnails are looking fresh! 🔥 I'm still in the process of collecting all of the Banana Republic Icon line (4 more to go) but I absolutely LOVE it! Great quality and smooth blends for a hard-to-beat price!

[@fragrancefan]

Hey there my friend. Yeah at this point whenever I see any from this line I pretty much just buy them because I know the quality is so good I want to get that Midnight Hour one Anna Mosaic oud

[@eaudecheap]

@@fragrancefan Yes, same! Those two are the ones I'm looking for the most! All the feminine ones are good, too.

[@brucetec6597]

​​@@fragrancefanIf you are ever in Orlando, Midnight Hour is everywhere. I think Oud Mosaic is only available in the West Coast .

[@fragrancefan]

@brucetec6597 I saw oud Mosaic once but I did get my hands on Midnight Hour

[@KennyPitts]

Great reviews, thanks as always. I love the BR scents, they're a great value. Try Black Walnut Legend, it's great as well. There's one called Tuberose Overdose that I really like but it's def not for everyone. The Pomegranate one is good but a little too feminine for me. I don't mind a unisex scent at all but that one smells like grandma.

[@fragrancefan]

I've seen that tuberose overdose many times but thought it was just for women and the black walnut ledge and I've heard good things about I guess it's supposed to be like aventus

[@KennyPitts]

@@fragrancefan I've not smelled Aventus for a long time so can't say for sure but it's a nice woodsy fall scent. The TO is good but weird, you should try it. Pick up one of the small bottles.

[@fragrancefan]

@@KennyPitts if I find one I will. I see the Neroli Woods won all the time but it's in a gigantic bottle and I'm not trying to get all that

[@KennyPitts]

@@fragrancefan I hear ya, as it is we'll have to live to be roughly 300 to use up all our fragrances lol

[@fragrancefan]

@@KennyPitts yeah pretty much LOL

[@AlejandroParedesBobadilla]

Id always pass them down, but after seeing this, im more eager to grab one, maybe Grassland, Metal rain or Black platinum, great vid tho, thanks for your dedication dude!

[@fragrancefan]

Hey my pleasure. Definitely check them out even if you don't like the scent profile of one of them try to appreciate the quality and try one more

[@nadecha5326]

Grassland for sure

[@LarryAsberryJr]

I picked up Vintage Green last week and it's awesome. Reminds me a lot of Aqua Celestial by MFK. I really enjoy it as a perfect spring/summer scent. I almost picked up Linen Vetiver but the reviews for VG were better. I really wish this video was out last week 😂

[@fragrancefan]

Many people like linen better but I'm vintage green team LOL

[@mister-xv5in]

I agree with pure white. Tobacco and Tonka Bean, black Platinum and dark Cherry and Amber. T and t and 06 are two of my favorites

[@fragrancefan]

We have similar tastes my friend

[@Bravado1989]

Vintage Green is so good. Black platinum reminds me of Gucci Guilty EDP without the rose and TOMMY for men with the cactus note.

[@fragrancefan]

Maybe that's why I like it so much because I love Gucci Guilty

[@jorgeduarte9850]

Great vid. I have most from the line, just haven't picked up the ones that are too feminine for my taste. And of course I've never ran into the unicorn...midnight hour. Does it really exist??? 😂 The best one you're missing is Oud Mosaic. Performance is very good! Definitely need to be comfortable with the oud for sure

[@fragrancefan]

@@jorgeduarte9850 I'm comfortable with it and I definitely want it

[@MitchellMoss-dc8ru]

Tobacco and tonka bean Grassland Black platinum These are great in my opinion

[@fragrancefan]

I think most of the banana republics are great

[@MitchellMoss-dc8ru]

@fragrancefan only tried these and neroli woods which is okay. The other 3 are great. I been on the hunt for metal rain at the rack stores but no luck yet.

[@fragrancefan]

@MitchellMoss-dc8ru I'm a fan of this whole line up

[@MitchellMoss-dc8ru]

@fragrancefan I'm definitely going to check more of them out

[@romanordunez3095]

I only got 3, planning on buying some more. Good video, God bless bro 🙏

[@fragrancefan]

thank you. I haven't been disappointed yet lol

[@erichenderson3358]

I love the Banana Republic house…. I have Tobacco & Tonka Bean, Linen Vetiver, and Grassland

[@fragrancefan]

You got some of the good ones

[@saucedrippin4499]

In a 2wks time I have Metal Rain Cordovan Vintage Green and Grassland all from Burlington

[@fragrancefan]

That sounds about right. And what do you think about them

[@DeadeyeJoe37]

Tom Ford Lost Cherry/Maison Alhambra Lovely Cherie both smell like maraschino cherries and a sweet musk. I don't get tart from that at all. But I'll have to try the Banana Republic one.

[@fragrancefan]

I respect that but to me they're so spicy and so sweet tart liqueur

[@Luis2077-xj2fq]

I'd like to see a Review on Acqua Essenziale Blu by Ferragamo

[@fragrancefan]

I have reviewed that and I probably will do another review after I get Colonia I'll do all three

[@shaunphan9039]

Vintage Green 78 is my favorite so much so that I bought a backup bottle. My wife loves it too. Metal Rain is 2nd favorite. Key to Metal Rain is not too overspray. It can get too musky if you spray to much. 4 sprays is more than enough. It reminds me of watery smell. Like it's going to rain. I haven't smelled linen vetiver. Is it redundant if you own vintage green?

[@fragrancefan]

It will be a little bit redundant if you have the vintage green because they're pretty similar

[@Prophecy23JC]

With the limited scent duration and projection, do you find yourself reaching for these still over other brands in your collection? I grabbed pretty much all of them. I have opened Vintage Green, Midnight Hour, and Leather Reserve. They all smell surprisingly nice, but they definitely sit close to the skin, and don’t seem to last that long. I dont need a scent to last me all day to appreciate it, but because they get closer to the skin more quickly and are struggling to reach a mediocre lasting time, I am wondering if I will choose to wear them or if they will just sit.

[@fragrancefan]

I was reaching for vintage green and linen vetiver an awful lot. Some of these sit on my shelf for others I actually wear fairly regularly

[@MaqsoodAli-y5n]

Try Black Walnut Legend

[@fragrancefan]

Isn't that similar to aventus

[@markdeering5129]

@@fragrancefanI think it’s supposed to, but I haven’t smelled Aventus to confirm. I have Black Walnut Legend and I think it is real good. About the only knock I’d give it is maybe longevity, like you mentioned for these here.

[@gregb2758]

Yeah its a musky aventus with a tangy citrus opening. If you spray it once. Then let it dry and spray it on the same spots, it will last. I have no problem with longevity. Dries down to a smokey yet clean soapy smell

[@fragrancefan]

@@gregb2758 okay I will get it next time I see it LOL

[@mister-xv5in]

Velvet pomegranate is my scent of the day

[@fragrancefan]

That one isn't feminine?

[@mister-xv5in]

@@fragrancefan unisex. I like Tuberose overdose is great as well and they both may lean a little feminine but I think men can pull it off.

[@cliftonologycl]

You should look out for oud mosaic. Its an oud rose that lasts longer than anything else they've put out. It has grown on me, as it was my first oud. I now have 3 or 4 others. Now, its not for everyone for sure, but if you like black platinum you'll love it. Plus I've seen enough of your videos to know you arent scared of oud 😂.

[@fragrancefan]

oh how well you know me. I want that one too

[@Phil-S8]

God I can't seem to get lucky with Metal Rain... Of course Midnight Hour would be an insane find too
