Man I was hoping that Tobacco & Tonka Bean was #1 I grabbed it from Burlington about 2 months ago for $20 only been able to wear it 2x during the day when it was much cooler weather but it smell so good!!

[@FragranceHunter]

Tobacco & Tonka Bean could’ve easily been #1 such an incredible tobacco fragrance!

Reminds me of when my uncle would pack up his Sherlock pipe when I was little.

[@philipfranklin8273]

I were mine in the summer, the women love it.

[@TrustNoOne88]

To me it kinda smells like a dogs rubber chew toy but it’s good. I feel like it leans more feminine.

[@aliciahargis]

Just bought Tobacco and Tonka and 17 Oud Mosaic at Burlington last night. Love both, but especially the T & T! Sooo good. Especially at $19.99 each.

Idk if you ever smelt their Republic of Men cologne. It’s discontinued now but man it’s great! I have a tiny 1 oz that I baby. Really good plum opening. With a powdery woody finish. You can’t find it anywhere anymore. You lucky to get your nose on it now.

[@growandgame]

Picked up Metal Rain on a blind buy and love it. I use it before bed and really enjoy the scent while I'm just relaxing or falling asleep. Also works well on rainy days.

[@Adm0984]

Have both the Dark cherry and amber and Tonka Bean and tobacco. He is 100 percent right about the descriptions. Dark cherry is awesome but only last maybe 2 hrs. Tonka smells awesome and last between 4-6 hrs.

[@raphael9197]

Tonka might be the longest lasting one in the line for real

[@saymichoward]

I agree

[@woodyamsterdam]

I got my no. 17 Oud today and I really love it. However, when my wife came home she asked if I had sprayed insect repellent lol! It’s an acquired scent I guess… I immediately get the rose and the fireplace smokiness, and with only 3 sprays I fill up the room for the first 2 hours.

[@mrscoob3450]

Yeah I have a few of them including oud mosaic. I thought it smelled like flowers and cow shit. Pure white is pleasant but feminine imo. Tobacco and Tonka bean smells very good but I don't see myself wearing it.

[@turboshazed7370]

Tobacco and Tonka Bean sounds amazing!!! I have Vintage Green and I definitely need something else from this line. :) Great video!!

[@FragranceHunter]

Thanks! It certainly is a great fragrance Definitely worthy of adding to the collection!

[@lyslinger]

I mix 1/2 tonka 1/4 dark cherry and 1/4 gardenia and the ladies love it. My only 3 are tonka, gardenia and dark cherry the rest i will pass on. Men don't pass up gardenia when layered right its a lady magnet, people often ask if i am wearing baccarat rouge 540

[@butterbwoi1344]

I picked up Metal Rain for under 30 and I must say it is pleasant. On my skin it becomes very subtle but works nice on my clothing and seems to activate with my body heat. It’s one to be discovered versus announced.

I have 12 of the Banana Republic Icon fragrances. Collected them all through pickups at rack stores. Don't have Grassland or Metal Rain yet, but I'm keeping my eye out!

Linen Vetiver 9. Neroli Woods 10. Peony & Peppercorn 11. Gardenia & Cardamom 12. 06 Black Platinum

[@shaunphan9039]

I have both Metal Rain and Vintage Green. Love them both. Next one I wanna get is Cypress Cedar. I had to return Oud Mosaic because it smells like mothballs in an old lady closet. I just can't see myself wearing it. I love Tom Ford Oud Wood and it smells great. Oud Mosaic is just nasty on my skin. If someone wanna get it, better sample it first.

[@Joa287]

This was a great video! I have two of them. 78 Vintage Green and 17 Oud Mosaic. I think they're both very good! Glad I have them.

[@FragranceHunter]

Thanks Jorge!

[@timpostma1207]

I have 10 in the Icon line and love it. I do not own Peony & Peppercorn, 90 Pure White, Gardenia & Cardamom, nor 17 Oud Mosaic, probably because I’m not a big floral or oud guy. I do like the Cool Water/Green Irish Tweed vibe, so of course I’m Grassland fan. I LOVE cypress, so Cypress & Cedar is my #1. I haven’t thought of this as a Xmas fragrance before as I usually think of cypress as a spring/green note. But I’ll take it! Love the list and video…thanks!

[@TruelyBadassAmerican]

This line is so amazing. Every single one is an absolute banger in my opinion.

Haha, I say the exact same thing about Cypress Cedar, and I can't quite place it: It reminds me of a cozy thanksgiving or christmas gathering. This might be an unpopular opinion, but for me it's a 100% cold winter daytime fragrance. Perfect for morning coffee with the family on christmas.

[@darkstar_destroyer377]

Very nice job on this list ... great descriptions of each. I have to admit that I pretty much only use my Banana Republic fragrances to spray on pillows and sheets as the performance is generally pretty lackluster. I'm a collector and felt the need to have them, but I won't replace them when they're gone. But scent is very subjective and my opinion, plus a nickel, is worth exactly five cents. Keep up the great reviews!
